Element.io Update (incompatibility with mobile version) #46

Closed Aq32 closed 2 years ago

Aq32 commented 2 years ago

Hi Would it be possible to have more frequent updates of the Element instant messaging app? The issue is that the mobile app uses olm 3.2.10 (end to end encryption) while the portapps version only uses the olm 3.2.3 version since it has only been updated last year (2021/09/19). Between that time and now Element has had almost 20 new versions. Portapps Element version 1.8.5 Latest Element version 1.10.8 List of Element versions for reference: https://packages.riot.im/desktop/install/win32/x64/?C=M&O=D

In terms of usage, the noticeable problem is that when anyone sends an end-to-end encrypted message it will receive as: Unable to decrypt: OLM This basically makes the app unusable on the phone because the desktop portapps version is limiting the app to an older encryption method. Security wise it's also an exploitable problem if crossplatform security is not kept up to date.
