Describe the bug
In the latest beta version 5.4.1 beta1 if i quit the app and relaunch it my Telegram service launches disabled and i need to enable it again.

I have experienced the same and created a ticket in https://github.com/getferdi/server/issues/13. @vantezzen any ideas?

[vantezzen]

Hmm, can you look at the developer tools network tab to see what queries are getting send and what errors there are?

[kytwb]

{"message":"Invalid POST arguments","messages":[{"message":"required validation failed on name","field":"name","validation":"required"}],"status":401}

Sending {isEnabled: false/true} if I remember correctly (no name).

It's being worked on at the API level, closing this ticket in favour of https://github.com/getferdi/server/issues/13.
Thanks for reporting @ammarmalhas, I will come back to report in here once it's fixed.

[kytwb]

@ammarmalhas this should be fixed now.

[ammarmalhas]

Great, but what do I do? Do I download the app again?

[kytwb]

Nothing needed. When you enable the service now, you shouldn't have the red error message you saw earlier and things should be working as expected. Let us know if it is not 😄

[ammarmalhas]

I just use beta 1 as I have it downloaded this morning?

[kytwb]

Yes 😄 The error was on the API side, and it has been fixed and deployed (see https://github.com/getferdi/server/issues/13).
No changes required in the client.

I tried it, it seems to be working well. I will give it a few more restarts and see. On another note, when will the password (lock) kick-in? Is there a time value after which the app locks itself? maybe this can be a feature for later, time after which the app locks itself? Thanks
