@giomfo @yostyle the invititationby email invitation to a (new) external user to a DM seems to be broken

It's 2.7.0 or before ?

Apparently it's the case from Support

I will have a look on this

I believed that this error was due to a problem server side, but I succeeded to invite an external email account from Tchap-iOS, so this is an actual issue in Tchap-Android
I investigated the request built client side during this invite, I failed to find what is wrong. I will check with Ops the logs server side to have more information on this 500 Internal Server Error

@appndigital Can you please try to reproduce on your side this issue (FYI I reproduced in Prod)

[giomfo]

According to my last investigation, the error happened server side when the server tries to invite the email in the created DM. The error means the id_access_token provided by the Tchap-Android client is not correct.
This token is one of the Invite3pid parameters:

@NicolasBuquet @appndigital :

• you should check if the terms of the Id server has been correctly marked as accepted locally.
• You should check if the token is retrieved from the right Id server (several Id servers exist in Tchap infra)

Fix removed by #949

Il faudra corriger les erreurs en base de données une fois le correctif en prod.
