Android client after url change: Server not available
⚠️ Before posting ⚠️
- [X] This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
- [X] I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
- [X] I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
- [X] I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Steps to reproduce
- move your Nextcloud server folder from domain.com/old-dir to domain.com/new-dir
- create a 301 permanent redirect from the old folder to the new folder.
Expected behaviour
The mobile sync client should transition to the new path and keep working. Like the desktop client does.
Actual behaviour
When opening the mobile nextcloud client, it shows the cached folders and a "server not available" warning. When entering one of the folders it shows loading and the warning about server unavailable.

I might just add: When selecting "Activities" in the mobile app it correctly shows the latest activities - way after the server was moved. And the auto-upload seems halfway working. The auto Image uploads is working, but videos seem to be failing. It's like the app is connected - but can't read files...
Sharing e.g. a picture to the Nextcloud app also works fine with uploading it. I can even see it in the "Activities" afterwards. But listing files seem impossible.
Could be that this bug is known for 5 years? #4157 Also here some what works and what not: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/4157#issuecomment-666978637
yes indeed. However as written above, it half works. So I'd like to keep this as a bug rather than a feature.
