OTR support (#542)

Unknown opened 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Lack of support for OTR makes it impossible for Beagle to establish encrypted chats with clients that don't support OMEMO, e.g. mcabber.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like for Beagle to support OTR.

Describe alternatives you've considered It seems like the only alternative is to ask all the contacts to upgrade to a client that supports OMEMO. That's hardly workable.

I wouldn't say that implementing this would be high on our to-do list unfortunately.

I'm not convinced to implement support for OTR as we try to have a feature parity with iOS client which is usually offline and woke up by push notifications. With OTR and no-premanent-store and no-copy requirement from the XEP-364 it looks like adding a support for OTR to iOS would be impossible (or at least very tricky).

Sounds reasonable. Thank you! I'll close the issue then.
