@RhettButler108 thank you very much for your valuable feedback!

Technically, seeing only the input field for the server URL is correct. The ownCloud iOS app supports different methods for authentication. With "Basic Auth" login, you need to enter your credentials in the app itself. With "OAuth 2.0" enabled on the ownCloud server, the app loads the ownCloud login page in an embedded web view. The benefit is, you don't store the credentials on the device. This is the technical reason why input fields appear only after clicking the [Connect] button.

Basic Auth	Credentials in app

OAuth 2.0	Credentials in web view

The ownCloud iOS team is working an a new iOS app (currently in public beta), but it probably has the same problem. What do you think about a hint that tells users, they can enter credentials on the next screen?
