Thank you for your contribution! Here are a few things to check in the PR to ensure it's reviewed as quickly as possible:

  • Your branch should be based on origin/develop, at least when it was created.
  • The title of the PR will be used for release notes, so it needs to describe the change visible to the user.
  • The test pass locally running ./gradlew test.
  • The code quality check suite pass locally running ./gradlew runQualityChecks.
  • If you modified anything related to the UI, including previews, you'll have to run the Record screenshots GH action in your forked repo: that will generate compatible new screenshots. However, given Github Actions limitations, it will prevent the CI from running temporarily, until you upload a new commit after that one. To do so, just pull the latest changes and push an empty commit.

Thanks for the changes! Since we're already changing this maybe we should also point out modifying developer options can result in the app not working as expected and it should only be done if the user knows what they're doing or if instructed by someone at Element?
