Description

Keybase GUI Version: 4.4.0-20190829183920+8f13068775

I tried adding my iPhone XS, but got a provisioning error saying that "provisioning failed because this device went offline." My device did NOT go offline. So there are two bugs here. First, that there's some issue with provisioning, second that your error message is misleading.

Note that after googling this error, I followed one person's advice and reset my identity, but this did not help.

Research direction

The report concerns Keybase GUI 4.4.0 provisioning an iPhone XS and the message that the device went offline. Start by reproducing the provisioning failure and tracing where this error text is selected. Done means the provisioning problem is understood and the displayed message accurately reflects the failure.
