warning on WebXDC checklist app: "Delta Chat would like to find and connect to devices on your local network" #2417

A contact of mine is using the WebXDC checklist app in a chat. I don't know how to tell what version the Checklist app is, but i can try to retrieve that info if you give me pointers to how to do so.

When opening the webxdc app, iOS asks the user for permission "Delta Chat would like to find and connect to devices on your local network". That's a bit surprising given what I understood were the promises about strict limits on network access for WebXDC applications.

this should not pop up for a webxdc not using realtime channels, indeed.

there were some bugs in that area, also leading to some phone warming, so maybe it is already fixed; we should try to reproduce that
