For Conversations 2.12.12 I refactored how DNS resolution works including adding support for "Private DNS" (That’s what Android calls DNS over TLS). Obviously DNS is vital to Conversations functioning correctly.Please help us test this - especially, but not just - if you connect through a VPN and/or are using Private DNS! 🙏Conversations 2.12.12-beta.2 is now available on F-Droid (if you allow Beta updates) and on the Google Play Store Beta Channel.#XMPP #DOT #Conversations_im

@daniel I have enabled the "Private DNS" option in the Android settings since some time now. I installed the Beta Version of Conversations from F-Droid yesterday. It works fine as always. Do I need to change something in the Conversation settings as well? I couldn't find anything.

@jabberati No changes required on the Conversations side. Conversations picks up the Android setting and just runs with it. (Both in opportunistic mode and when the user sets a 'Private DNS provider hostname')

@daniel I actually hoped all apps would use the Android DNS resolver and no special steps were required to accommodate for user settings...

@daniel Oh no!! The fact that Conversations didn't do Private DNS saved me once when my Private DNS settings were borked!!!11https://xkcd.com/1172/(jk, good work!)(And also this finally explains why Conversations was unaffected by this, it puzzled me a lot back then.)

If you have a minute can you help me do one final round of testing? #Conversations_im 2.12.12-beta.3 is out on F-Droid and the Google Play beta channel.To test DNS properly you have to set up a second account (It doesn’t have to have valid credentials; running into 'Unauthorized' is enough to validate DNS).I forgot to mention this last time but Conversations does cache the last successful address it was able to connect to as a last resort endpoint. (Caching is per account)

In case you were wondering why #Conversations_im permanently stores DNS results beyond their TTL: There are enough shitty airport and hotel wifi networks that refuse to resolve anything but A (and maybe AAAA) records. 🤷

@danielWorks for me. Tried several servers and always got an error about invalid credentials, so DNS lookup worked and it tried to log in.
