Expected behavior

Scudcloud should connect to service

Actual behavior

Just sits in a waiting to connect loop.

I'm finding that I cannot connect to the Slack service at all.
On the same network with my Android phone using the official Slack client I can connect no problem.
Up until around yesterday morning it was fine.
The app starts, but just sits with the introductory screen and the rotating blue graphic but just sits there indefinitely.

Tried the usual exit/restart, rebooting etc.

Checked with wireshark and I can confirm that there is TLS activity between Scudcloud and Slack services. It just stops after a while.

Hi @skelband and thanks for reporting this issue.

The problem: Slack changed their internal JS and the code is returning JS errors in webkit:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'a.id')

We saw this some days ago, but then they reverted and it started to work few hours later.

I'll see if I can work in a workaround in this meanwhile.

Looks like it might be a duplicate of #594.

Yes, it's 594 back.
