Description

Description
  • As a developer
  • I want to stop handling external calls
  • So that we focus on the built in room calling feature.

Acceptance criteria

  • Element Call no longer suggests opening a call in Element X.
  • Tapping on a call.element.io link no longer opens Element X and instead handles the call in the web browser.
  • Tapping on an io.element.call:// link no longer opens Element X and instead handles the call in the web browser.

Start with the Element Call pull request #3871 and the linked Android issue #6578 and iOS issue #5395; the story is split across those repositories. Check how the clients and call.element.io currently handle the listed links, then verify that each acceptance criterion is met and that the Apple association file is no longer served.
