.onion TLDs no longer supported?

[Marcs1987]

I've been using DAVx5 for some years to sync with my Android phone with my private Nextcloud server that's on an .onion-address. I'm currently migrating to a newer phone and used the Android backup/restore functionality. The DAVx5-app and settings where migrated, but not my Nextcloud account details.

The problem I now have is that DAVx5 doesn't allow me to enter the server address and login details. The 'Login' button remains greyed out even after I entered all the details in the 'Login with URL and user name'.

I don't think of any reason why it shouldn't be working. Are you filling all the fields? (url, username, password) It works fine for me.

@ArnyminerZ Are you using an .onion-address?

The 'Login'-button gets enabled if I enter a traditional address that can be resolved

[Marcs1987]

I get the impression that there's a new validation when entering the login details that checks that the domain can be resolved and that validation code doesn't take into consideration if a proxy is in use or not

Another question, is there some way I could copy the account details from the old phone to the new one, e.g. by copying a file from the old one to the new one.

What kind of onion domain do you have? For example, the internet archive's domain does work (obviously not a valid DAV server, but enables the button):

Not right now, we are working on it, and it's on our schedule, but DAVx⁵ integrates very deeply with the system, and it's really hard to create backups by how it is designed right now. We are on the process to decouple the app's data completely from the system, but it's still on the works.

We have this discussion if you need more information. You can also take a look at this.

Turned out to be a really stupid user error. I used copy/paste to enter the address and there was an extra space at the end that I hadn't noticed. When I removed it the Login button was enabled.

Thanks for the effort

You are welcome!
