Multiple accounts?

[Thatoo]

Hopefully, both ElementX on iOS and Android will be the first Element clients to support Multiple accounts feature (and the web client about that time too?)

Just for the record, it is one of the oldest and a wanted feature in Element-ios, element-hq/element-ios#315, Element-android, element-hq/element-android#26 [and also Element-web but that's out of topic... element-hq/element-web#2320 ].

Am I wrong or do the Rust SDK and Element X already almost support multiple accounts?
I had a quick naive look into the code and from my understanding, there is nothing in the way of simply creating a second (third, ...) user session through the app, and all the storage etc. is already taken care of.

The only thing that doesn't seem to be possible yet is to restore a session for a given userID, but that looks to me like a rather small change in the UserSessionStoreProtocol and its implementation. And of course, the UIs for the account management are still missing, but that should be quite straightforward.

Another issue that I can think of is notification management, but I'd view that as a second step once we are able to add multiple accounts.

you are right. it "just" needs the auth, login, registration, acct management, notif, account switching UI, etc. we are also desperate to have it as a feature tho; it's been excruciating not having it in classic Element.
