ClassicAppManager migrates an existing user's session and encryption keys by
reading the legacy app's app-group container and keychain. Those identifiers
defaulted to Element's own, which this team cannot provision, so loadAccounts()
threw invalidAppGroupIdentifier — caught and logged, never surfaced. Since both
apps share a bundle id, the result would be every existing user silently logged
out and losing local history when they update.
The legacy identifiers belong to HealthChat and are provisionable under the same
team, so repoint them rather than dropping them.
Also stop sending accounts without key backup to a dead end. Upstream shows those
users a sheet asking them to open Element Classic and set up backup first, but this
update replaces that app and nothing registers its URL scheme, so the sheet's only
button does nothing. Sign in directly instead: the user re-verifies the device and
loses only history that by definition has no backup.
Applies the HealthChat product identity through the fork seams upstream already
provides, so no upstream logic files are touched and merges stay clean.
- Variants/HealthChat/healthchat.yml holds the identity scalars (display name,
bundle id ch.healthchat.element, app group, development team) and is included
permanently from project.yml. APP_NAME stays ElementX so the module name and
@testable import ElementX keep working.
- ElementX/Sources/AppHooks/HealthChat/ registers an AppSettings hook pinning
accountProviders to healthchat.ch with other providers disabled, push through
sygnal.healthchat.ch and a custom-scheme OIDC redirect; plus a Compound hook
recolouring the accent token family to the HealthChat blue.
- Entitlements are edited directly in ElementX/SupportingFiles/target.yml rather
than in the variant, because XcodeGen concatenates arrays on include-merge and
a variant can override scalars but cannot remove array entries. Drops the
Element Classic app group and keychain group, and narrows associated domains
to app.healthchat.ch, keeping matrix.to for permalinks.
- Info.plist CFBundleName now follows APP_DISPLAY_NAME — it, not
CFBundleDisplayName, is what the web authentication sign-in alert shows.
- App logo and app icon assets swapped in place; the onboarding welcome title
moves to a new screen_onboarding_welcome_title_ios untranslated string.
Continue grouping the standalone modules under Components. Updates the
nightly.yml include path and the app icon banner path used by the
configure-nightly CI command.
* Allow the AppIconBanner tool to be called with purely the build number.
And use that for the Element Pro Nightly.
* Use a build setting to determine Nightly builds.
We've haven't really been using these and they're proving to be quite a chore to keep running.
Also, we recently needed an external demo build and we chose to go with custom build on top of testflight instead.
As such it's been decided that we can go ahead and remove them.
