• Your Rocket.Chat Experimental app version: 4.6.4
• Your Rocket.Chat server version: 3.1.1
• Device (or Simulator) you're running with: iPhone 11 (iOS 13.5 - Simulator)

App does not prompt user for password when joining password-protected channels. User is unable to join the room with the following response (/api/v1/channels.join):

{ "success": false, "error": "Invalid Room Password [error-code-invalid]", "errorType": "error-code-invalid", "details": { "method": "joinRoom" } }

@joernal Yeah, it's not implemented yet.
Let me know if you want to contribute.
Thanks for reporting.

Hi @diegolmello , I am quite new to react-native. Can you guide me to resolve this issue? 😀

Hey @imrishabh18,
You should implement something like a text input to enter the join code of protected rooms, and send this code on the join method like the documentation explains https://docs.rocket.chat/api/rest-api/methods/channels/join.
Remember that should appear only if the room needs a join code.
Thanks.

This is how it looks like on our web client:

Hi @djorkaeffalexandre,

I implemented something similar to the web experience.
If it's something similar to what you're looking for, I'd be happy to open a PR for it (and possibly coordinate with @imrishabh18).

Hi @joernal, it looks good!
Feel free to open a PR, it would be awesome.
