OMEMO encryption not possible

[sirdrakeistda]

At the moment I can't encrypt with Monal. When go to contact details, there is no lock to activate the encryption. I can see the keys from my contact in the contact details and the contact can encrypt for Monal without Problems. In the contact details, it says "unkown subscription", but we both added each other as contact. Monal 4.4 Server blabber.im iOS 13.3.1

@sirdrakeistda Hi, thank you for reporting. Just one question. may you crosschec the other issues or OMEMO labels if there are relations please?

[sirdrakeistda]

I tried to find a similar issue. There is only one issue that could be related, because there is also the lock missing. https://github.com/anurodhp/Monal/issues/285 But there a few differences: -There its Catalyst and not iOS -There is an other notification "You can see their key. But they can't see yours" vs "unkown subscription"

Is fine, thank you!

I can confirm that my Monal contact has the same issue actually

After update to 4.5, the error changed. Now the Problem is similar to #285.

I had this problem several times and at least in my case the solution was simple: Monal as of 4.7 does not seem to support contact subscription request procedure; you have to add mutual subscription between the two persons in another app (I used Gajim); after that you can enable OMEMO by clicking (i) at the top, then the lock in the dialog that opens.

You may have to wait a few seconds after opening a chat for the first time till omemo devices are fetched.
