Steps to reproduce
  1. Install app freshly on a device, so permission approvals are still undefined
  2. Attempt to login to a Nextcloud server on the local network via IP address, in example 192.168.178.21
Expected behaviour

Login page should appear as usual.

Actual behaviour
  1. Network request fails, app states apparent lack of internet connection.
  2. iOS asks user for confirmation that the app is allowed to search the local network for devices.
  3. User has to tap login again.
Server

Browser

Inapplicable.

Research direction

Review the related issue #97 first, then reproduce this on a freshly installed iOS app using a Nextcloud server on a local IP address. Trace the login request through the local-network permission prompt; done means the first login attempt succeeds without incorrectly reporting no internet access.
