Description
Steps to reproduce
- Update to 1.8.3
- try to send a message in an e2be portal
Outcome
What did you expect?
The bridge receiving decryption keys and being able to bridge the message
What happened instead?
The bridge complains about the client refusing to share decryption keys
Additional Context
EXi is the only client I tested that exhibits this behavior (this in particular also includes Element X Android 0.6.3 running under waydroid). Downgrading to 1.8.2 through TF fixes this. Toggling Invisible Crypto in the dev settings doesn't change anything (visible).
I assume this has something to do with #3247 (which looks like it's the only relevant commit in 1.8.2...1.8.3) not properly respecting the disabled status for invisible crypto.
In particular, this should probbly use appSettings.invisibleCryptoEnabled:
I understand that e2be (in mautrix bridges) with invisible crypto is an unsolved problem (matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#4153 (comment)). EXi not breaking my bridges by forcing this (yet), so I don't need to use another client on my phone while this is unsolved, would be appreciated.
The rooms in the screenshots above are !pIITXSkaDCCSvEyKAC:synapse.rntpts.de for Signal and !ZqodMKANcYpNTRMIKP:synapse.rntpts.de for WhatsApp in case you search the logs.
This is also visible if I manually create an unsigned device in a separate test account and send a message in a shared room (even more hints for invisible crypto), but the bridges are the only practical issue (actual unsigned devices are the main purpose of the MSC after all).
