Your use case

What would you like to do?

https://app.element.io/mobile_guide/ (and /mobile_guide/ on Element Web installs generally) should default users to installing the Element X apps rather than the classic apps.

Image

Why would you like to do it?

Default URLs updated. Optionally the possibility of making the listed apps configurable (if they aren't already)

How would you like to achieve it?

Have you considered any alternatives?

I've discovered the mobile_builds configuration options. These appear to have no impact on this page in my testing. Scope would be:

  • Defaults to Element X apps
  • (Optional) Respect mobile_builds if configured

@pixlwave does your PR #30006 solve this

It does indeed! It adds a new mobile_guide_app_variant in config.json which can be set to classic, x or pro so the installation can choose which app they would like to recommend to their users.

One small note: When not set, the current behaviour defaults Element Classic so as to not break the behaviour for existing installations, meaning that advertising Element X is opt in right now. This seemed like the right choice as e.g. the server might only allow the old SSO login flow which isn't compatible with Element X.
