Description

Hello Community,

first of all, thank you to all the contributors for the great work.

Expected behaviour

I would like to see the possibility - especially on the iPad - to select an account directly after opening the app. The background is that several people in the household use the iPad (children, parents, etc.). All family members have their own Nextcloud account. However, the account that was last opened is always active when the app is opened.

In my opinion, storing a touch/face ID only makes limited sense, because then the app is completely blocked for everyone else. For using the app with an iPhone this is certainly ok.

Actual behaviour

Currently, the app can be locked either with or without touch/face ID/PIN. However, this query comes immediately when the app is opened, so that a user selection is not possible.

I hope you understand what I mean. This is merely a suggestion for improvement or discussion. What do you and the developer think?

Greetings

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the iPad app-opening flow, configured-account selection, and existing lock prompt; done would mean allowing users to choose among configured Nextcloud accounts before locking while preserving the current lock behavior.
