Despite having installed the Text app the endpoint:

ocs/v2.php/apps/files/api/v1/directEditing?format=json

return:

▿ 1 element
▿ 0 : 2 elements

key : ocs

Despite the issue on GitHub being about iOS, this problem is not limited to iOS and also exists on Android NextCloud client.

Reproduced on Lineage 17.1, Nextcloud 3.17.1.

Thanks a lot for the report. Looks like much bigger issue then initially thought.

Thanks for the 21.0.5 NC update in Disroot/CHANGELOG#91

However text situation remains unchanged.

Tried to find something tonight but without luck :(
I will check on test instance to see if the issue remains.

Yes, but now that we are up to date more then we were before, time to look into it again.

5 months seems like good resting time to get it solved :P

I'm sorry, I'm not too sure how to reproduce this.
I open NC client on Android, then I click on a md file. I can read it. I can choose "open with" and edit with another app, and save it.

Retested:

iOS 15.5, nextcloud 4.4.0.18
open Settings > Advanced > Capabilities and see Text showing as Not available.
Editing txt or md files is still not possible.

LineageOS 19.1, nextcloud 3.20.3
Opening md or txt also does not allow editing them in nextcloud

Editing files in third party apps certainly works but that is not what this bug here is about.

Since there is no view for capabilities on Android I am not sure about the state of Text component, but being unable to edit in app seems to be the same problem as on iOS.

indeed I've just tested with another cloud provider, I can edit the md file directly into NC client on Android.

Quick update - issue is persisting on Disroot

Nextcloud Server: 23.0.6
Nextcloud iOS: 4.5.5.2

Another Nextcloud instance running 24.0.5 shows Text as available. So it is either fixed in newer versions or a configuration problem in Disroot.

I spent some time on this. For example, I tried tiny changes on nginx to match official config here https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/nginx.html but it didn't change anything.

I really don't understand what is going on...

I finally decided to open an issue also, as the already open ones are for iOS only: https://github.com/nextcloud/text/issues/3892

I've just noticed that you can not create a new text file directly from Android app (clicking on the + sign), like you can from web client.

I've tested with another NC account I have, and that should be possible. I don't know if that is related to this current issue...

Yes this is the same issue. basically Text app is not recognized as installed on the server.

We finally have the reason why it doesn't work: encryption is enabled with per-user keys on disroot, as you can read here https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/22423
