Describe the bug

When changing the default browser which iOS 14 makes possible, attempting to open any link on Element iOS results to a screen "Error: Unable to open the link". Rageshake cannot be performed in that screen, but I sent a bug report from settings in hopes it got something.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Change default browser in Settings -> Firefox -> Default browser app -> Firefox (note: iOS 14 has a bug making it reset back to Safari on reboot)
  2. Open Element
  3. Open any room
  4. Click any link
  5. Error: Unable to open the link.

Expected behavior

I expect the link to open, not see an error.

Screenshots

Unable to open the link

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: iPhone SE2020
  • OS: 14.0
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version 28.2

Additional context

Element iOS 1.0.12 (20200916172942), Testflight and I wonder why your template doesn't ask that at all asking for browser version instead?

I also added a comment to #2949 (comment) which may be relevant and a duplicate of #651.

Combined with the fact that if you long press a link and select copy, it copies the entire message instead of the link, this makes it extremely clumsy to open a link right now if Safari is not the default browser.

Would it be possible to push a new release with that fix?

And if a new release needs something else to happen first, could this at least be pushed to the Testflight?
