Local Access
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Older versions of Android (previous to version 12, and some custom ROMs, such as Graphene/Calyx) do not have native support for :ref:`mDNS<mdns>` and therefore cannot resolve ``.local`` addresses. This issue has been long known by Google, and can be tracked `here <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140786115>`_ (Google account required to view).
|
||||
|
||||
Workarounds
|
||||
===========
|
||||
An app developer can add mDNS support, and some projects, such as Chromium, have long `considered it <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=405925>`_, but the real solution is for support to occur at the OS level.
|
||||
|
||||
LineageOS
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in Lineage that makes using Firefox over Tor currently unusable. Currently, this feature works fine on Calyx and Graphene.

Tor
|
||||
---
|
||||
It is not currently possible to run Tor natively (in the background) on iOS. The best chance for this functionality coming to iOS in the future is via the `iCepa Project <https://github.com/iCepa>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Workarounds
|
||||
===========
|
||||
The only way to use Tor (in the background) on iOS is with apps that come with Tor built-in, such as :ref:`Zap Wallet <zap>`. For visiting Embassy UI Tor sites, you may use `Onion Browser <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onion-browser/id519296448>`_ or `Start9's Consulate <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/start9-consulate-browser/id1528124570>`_ application.
|
||||
|
||||
Matrix
|
||||
------
|
||||
The lack of Tor support on iOS means that Element/Matrix cannot be run on an iPhone in conjunction with your Embassy Matrix server, as that currently requires a Tor connection. This will be fixed when `Element <https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios>`_ builds Tor into their app. An issue specifically in regard to this can be found `here <https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/1085>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Workarounds
|
||||
===========
|
||||
None currently known, but may be solved with forthcoming "clearnet" support on EmbassyOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Spark Wallet
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Unfortunately, Spark cannot currently be used in Consulate. This issue is being tracked `here <https://github.com/Start9Labs/consulate-ios/issues/30>`__.
