Getting "the selected homeserver doesn't support password or OIDC login" when in fact it does

[jlxq0]

Steps to reproduce

I'm using a fresh install of the latest version of Element X from the Apple App Store on a current iPhone. When I try to login to my homeserver, I get a popup "the selected homeserver doesn't support password or OIDC login" and cannot login.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expected to get a redirect to the login page of my OIDC provider just like I do with the Element app, the web app on element.io and the Element desktop app on macOS.

What happened instead?

I got above mentioned error.

Your phone model

iPhone 16

Operating system version

iOS 18.2.1

Application version

I can't seem to get to the settings without being logged in–but it's the latest version available in the App Store on 11.1.2025

Homeserver

A private Synapse installation running matrixdotorg/synapse:latest, also as of 11.1.2025

Will you send logs?

No

After I re-enable password logins, I can login with the local password–but there is no OIDC login option.

I'm guessing, that means, OIDC is just not yet implemented on Element X? I kinda was expecting sth. like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COCMi6sAghw

@jlxq0 It sounds like your server is configured to do OIDC over the old m.login.sso flow however this isn't supported in Element X as we're targeting the new Matrix 2.0 APIs. Instead you'll need to configure your homeserver for native OIDC by setting up the Matrix Authentication Service component.
