SUMMARY
Neochat stops sending keys for messages after few days of using E2EE.
When I'm chatting to someone with E2EE on in 1-1 chat, the chat works fine for
a few days.
Both users can see both messages.
After 4-5 days, Neochat stops sending the encryption keys to the other
participant *and* this
can be seen in other clients too with the same account.
On Neochat, the message shows up like normal.
On Element, both users get this message:
** Unable to decrypt: The sender's device has not sent us the keys for this
message. **
After logging out and logging back in to Neochat, the keys are being sent
again.
Restarting Neochat is not enough, you have to completely log out and log back
in.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start E2EE chat with someone, either through Element or Neochat. (In my
case, this same chat was started from Element long time ago)
2. E2EE works fine for few days
3. At some point, Neochat stops sending the keys to other clients. On Neochat,
you can see your messages normally. Other clients cant see your message, even
on your own account.
4. Log out from Neochat
5. Log back in to Neochat
6. E2EE messages can be sent normally again from Neochat, and the error is
gone.
OBSERVED RESULT
E2EE keys are not being sent according to Element and other clients.
EXPECTED RESULT
E2EE keys would be sent.
