- Resolve the send handle at tap time and pass it through the alert, removing the duplicated lookup and the stale-itemID window between tapping the indicator and pressing Retry. - Route 'Remove message' through the existing timeline item menu redact action instead of a bespoke redact path with a fatalError. - Surface a retry failure to the user with an indicator toast rather than only logging it. - Only set the send-info accessibility identifier when the label has a tappable status, so plain timestamps don't create ambiguous matches.
Element X iOS
Element X iOS is the next-generation Matrix client provided by Element.
Compared to the previous-generation Element Classic, it is a total rewrite using the Matrix Rust SDK underneath and targeting devices running iOS 18+.
Rust SDK
Element X leverages the Matrix Rust SDK through an FFI layer exposed as a swift package that the final client can directly import and use. We're doing this as a way to share code between platforms, with Element X Android using the same SDK.
Status
This project is actively developed and supported. New users are recommended to use Element X instead of the previous-generation app.
