[eSteem Mobile] 2.0.6 [BUG] Steemconnect Login Error - Username with a Dot in the Name
Project Information
- Repository: https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-mobile
- Project Name: eSteem Mobile
- Publisher (if applicable): esteem.app
Expected behavior
Normally, the login should work. This I have also tested with another account without a dot in the name. I expected the login to work with SteemConnect.
Actual behavior
If you try to log in with Steemconnect in the current version of the app on an Android device, there is an error. This error occurs e.g. when logging in with a username that has a dot in the username. An account that does not contain any special characters or dots, because the login works.
How to reproduce
- install the latest version (2.0.6) for Android on your phone
- go to the login area
- switch to login with SteemConnect
- try to log in with a user account that contains a point.
- the login should fail and the following error message appears: Error: auth.invalid_credentials
- Browser/App version: 2.0.6 - latest
- Operating system: Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Thanks for your contribution @louis88
This was a tricky bug to replicate for both the project owner and myself and it seems that one of the developers was able to spot an issue with the JSON metadata and overall provide a fix. This is great! It has taken a little longer than usual to get this post reviewed due to the nature of the issue but looks like it was worth the wait :)
Although your post doesn't mention this, this is a tricky one to catch without looking at the code and your post did provide the tools the developer needed to find the issue. You can aid this by looking into the potential cause, however, I think you're aware of this :)
You'll see within the questionnaire I have chosen to mark a few questions in a way that overall takes into account the fact the root cause was not mentioned, and overall the period in the name is slightly misleading, however, I tried to keep a focus on the benefit this has provided to the project. Whilst this issue will not affect the majority of users, I do believe this will be annoying and an important issue to fix for those that are affected.
Once again, thanks for your contribution and look forward to seeing more from you in the future :)
