I saw other "invalid URL" issues that seemed related but most of them are either quite old or hitting at a different moment (people seem to be able to log in), so I open a new one.
Steps to reproduce
- Log out or install the app to get to self-hosted server URL page
- Enter server URL
- Fail
Expected behaviour
The app should redirect to the user login screen.
Actual behaviour
Right when typing enter after the server URL, get pop-up message "Invalid URL".
Logs
Unfortunately, I don't have any logs.
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
The server is fully functional, accessible from the URL https://nessie.kimou.fr from a web browser, from the Android client, from the Linux and Windows desktop apps. I don't have access to a different iOS device to test if the problem is this specific device or the iOS app in general.

Research direction
Start at the iOS app's self-hosted server URL page and reproduce the failure with https://nessie.kimou.fr, comparing the behavior with the web, Android, Linux, and Windows clients. Trace the URL validation and login redirect flow; done means a valid server URL proceeds to the user login screen without the "Invalid URL" popup.
