In the latest build in TestFlight sharing functionality was reimplemented. This should no longer be an issue.

@mwlczk Why only unencrypted?

@mwlczk Why only unencrypted?

@ltGuillaume, if you share out of an other app to Siskin, than the message is not being encrypted. Only if you share from within Siskin.

Why would that make sense in any way? And why even would it be harder for Siskin to encrypt something shared via another app? This is quite misleading if there's no warning beforehand, too.

@ltGuillaume Siskin IM is an XMPP client. OMEMO is one of the features of the XMPP protocol and while it is supported in the main app, it is not in the extension which is used for sharing. This is caused by the difficulties enforced by the iOS requirements and as sharing extension is not the main functionality of the app, it lacks support for OMEMO encryption.

The OMEMO support for sharing extension will be added in the future.

I don't have experience with developing for iOS, but it seems that opening the main app from a (sharing) extension is easily possible, which would make it easy to use the main app's OMEMO encryption, too.
