Bug: Unable to add Integration / Bridge for Slack #2041

Open jwmh opened 4 years ago

jwmh commented 4 years ago

Can't add Slack integration: (error from scalar: "Please enable popups to auth with Slack.") . this is not a user error, nor anything that a user can fix. . This happens when a user uses the Element for Android app (tested, latest stable release, 1.0.5) due to the Element app's builtin (sandboxed) web-browser-instance.

SEE ALSO literally -- this exact /same bug/
in Riot Was confirmed //and fixed// back in December 2018 : https://github.com/vector-im/riot-android/issues/2768

[Bug carryover from Riot?? Was fixed in Riot, issue# 2768 ... Yet still exists here in Element.]

Tested & confirmed bug exists on:

For comparison: I tested the same function on Riot 0.9.12 ... It works fine on Riot 0.9.12 but Broken on Element 1.0.5

Requested fix: Have all browser URLs... open in an EXTERNAL browser. . I've been running through the workflow on Riot, and.. .. There are waayyyyyy too many problems, hiccups, etc. (E.g., creating a new Slack acct; Unable to scroll down in the sandboxed browser; etc. ) . All of these could be easily fixed by simply the user to signin to their Matrix acct & adding Integrations/Bridges... .... from an external browser. . Y'all are really great. I love what you are creating -- Thank you.
