Bug description

7.0.0 seems to include the new username feature that's been in testing, though it's currently reporting "This username is taken." for any username I give it. Logcat reports similarly:

D RefreshOwnProfileJob: Local and remote username hash are both empty. Considering validated.
I AccountValues: Marking username sync state as: IN_SYNC
...
W UsernameRepository: [reserveUsername] Username taken.

Without having a stock client to hand, I'm not sure if this has actually been launched yet and just isn't working in this fork, or isn't actually available on Signal's servers yet (there doesn't seem to be an upstream 7.0.0 release yet).

Steps to reproduce

Settings > Profile > Username
try assigning yourself one
