🚸 Double-checking what happens while transferring the app to another phone

[shankari]

Got a new phone Restored backup, including all apps Launched OpenPATH

• welcome screen, asking me to enter an OPcode
• view QR code on old phone
• uh-oh! looks like the code uses the emission:// URL instead of the openpath:// URL
• used an old saved opcode that was with the correct URL
• location, physical activity and notification permissions were copied over, background restrictions were not
• trying to save to see whether we use openpath at least in the basic initial save
• don't have other apps, so trying to save to signal
• saved, will need to rescan and see what it says
• retrieved saved survey
• Boom! Done! Could see all my trips!

Note that while setting up DavX, there is an option to turn on regular sync intervals. "For synchronization at regular intervals, DavX must be allowed to run in the background. Otherwise, Android may pause synchronization at any time".

Turning it on doesn't actually require whitelisting anything - there's just a simple "Allow" button. Should check their source code to see what it does.

They also have a page with more information on disabling sync for OnePlus. Let's see how they choose to recommend things to us...

Hm, per the code, it should be generating nrelopenpath:// Need to double check that as well...

        $scope.tokenURL = "nrelopenpath://login_token?token="+$scope.settings.auth.opcode;

For the record, when my Google Maps was transferred over, the "incognito" mode was removed. I was in incognito mode on the original phone (double checked) but I was signed in with my google account on my new phone. Sneaky!

I spent some time investigating this https://github.com/e-mission/e-mission-docs/issues/928#issuecomment-1606732961, including by installing a QR code app. I can confirm that on version 1.3.3 (both my phone and @mRaffill's phone), the QR code encodes emission://. However, I changed it from emission:// to nrelopenpath:// in

    Merge branch 'master_for_platform' of https://github.com/e-mission/e-mission-phone into nrel_openpath

    All changes were due to the package/app name change:
    - config.xml and package.json had different versions and package name
        - picked the openpath version
    - general-settings had the opcode save as emission:// instead of nrelopenpath://
        - picked the openpath version, but changed to saving `opcode` instead of `email`

      $scope.viewQRCode = function($event) {
-         $scope.tokenURL = "nrelopenpath://login_token?token="+$scope.settings.auth.email;
 -        $scope.tokenURL = "emission://login_token?token="+$scope.settings.auth.opcode;
++        $scope.tokenURL = "nrelopenpath://login_token?token="+$scope.settings.auth.opcode;
          if ($scope.qrp) {
              $scope.qrp.show($event);
          } else {

And the current release is from Jun 22, so it should be correct.

    $scope.viewQRCode = function($event) {
        $scope.tokenURL = "nrelopenpath://login_token?token="+$scope.settings.auth.opcode;

I tried killing and restarting, just in case there was some old popup being displayed somewhere, but it still showed up with the emission prefix. The newer, beta version does show nrelopenpath correctly, so I am going to drop this for now, but we should re-check after merging @Abby-Wheelis' control screen changes.
