Description

If I encrypt a message and include my user, then go to the decrypt tool and paste it in I get a "This message was encrypted for someone else or for a key you don't have"

Same error if I encrypt from another user for my user. The messages always decrypt fine on the mac when decrypting the same message that fails on iOS.

iOS app version: `6.0.1-20220606180919+0fc9feea3d`

Any ideas?

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in the iOS app at version 6.0.1-20220606180919+0fc9feea3d using a message encrypted for the current user, then compare its decryption and verification path with macOS. Done means messages that decrypt successfully on macOS also decrypt and verify on iOS.
