ciphertext cannot be decrypted using that key

[jpdagostin0]

Hello, I followed the guide for a production setup of an etebase server. I created a user in the django admin interface and then setup the account with a password etc. on the webclient. I tried logging in using the same credentials on iOS, and I get the error, "ciphertext cannot be decrypted using that key". The authentication works, and I can read/write data on the web interface. I think this may be an issue with the iOS app on the app store. Thanks!

I see the exact same error message in iOS after the OS has been erased and EteSync freshly installed. However, I am not self hosting; I pay EteSync/Base to host. I haven’t seen any updates in this repo for years. I can’t help but wonder if this is going to be fixed at all. I may need to find somewhere else to host contacts and calendars as this is untenable.

I’m looking to move to NextCloud, the platform has e2ee and support for calendars, contacts, notes, etc.

I have the same error message trying to setup EteSync for contacts and calendar on iOS 17.5.1.
@jpdagostino, are you sure NextCloud supports e2ee for calendars and contacts?

I been having this issue as well

I found an alternative. For 1€ per month, the privacy-focused german service posteo.de offers e2ee calendars and contacts compatible with Caldav and Cardav. I use it on iOS and thunderbird (Linux).

[rmetschke]

Do you know if it supports shared calendars and shared contacts?

No, I dont know. To be checked on their website.

I get the same error. There haven't been any commits to this repo since 2022 and the last update of the iOS App was in 2020. I use EteSync on Android and Linux and hoped to also get it to work on my iPad. Hopefully this will be fixed sometime in the future, but I don't expect it will. I totally understand that maintaining the clients for that many platforms is very time-consuming, and the iOS App is probably not at all a priority.

I get this error too. Looks like I'm not the only one. I will make another account and share my main account into it as a workaround I guess. :(

[nguyenkvvn]

No dice with the alt account. This seems to be an issue with the app itself... :/

Is the iOS app abandoned? I just subscribed to Etesync thinking I can use it on my phone.

Non-self hosted.

[nguyenkvvn]

@ivendotdev I have given up on EteSync unfortunately. I concur that the platform itself just seems abandoned.

Indeed, that's too bad. I suppose I'll cancel my subscription since not being able to use it on my phone is a deal breaker. Thanks for the heads up.

Any chance of getting this working?

[nguyenkvvn]

No. I gave up. It just refuses to cooperate.
