New Signal device does not appear within Signal App

The problem

Setting up HA Signal Addon (Version 0.83; Port 8181, Modus:normal) and starting to register a second device for existing Signal account/number nothing happens after scanning QR code within Signal App (App for iOS latest version).

log in HA says, but there is no hint why nothing happens within Signal App, after scanning the QR code:

• [ -z /config ]

• usermod -u 1000 signal-api usermod: no changes

I'm having the same issue. I used Postman to send the HTTP requests and everything works fine up to the point where I read the QR code with Signal version 7.16 for iOS. After confirming the device link, the linked device does not appear in the application. There are no error messages shown.

Update (right after I posted this comment): Check out this thread: https://github.com/bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api/issues/497

I think the issue stems from the iOS version demanding a device name. For example, when I link my Windows PC to my iOS Signal account, the Windows device asks me to provide a name. Once I do that, the iOS Signal app sees the linked device.

I'm running into the same problem where I'm running the signal-cli on a Raspberry Pi and when I scan the QR code with the iOS device (iPad), nothing happens. When I scan it with my Android phone, the cli registers almost immediately.

+1 Can't link with iOS anymore. In the past there was (at least on my side) always the problem of the linked device not showing instantly in the signal app. Sometimes it took several attempts until it worked. But now it's not working at all even after ten or more attempts. I tried in normal and json-rpc mode but no luck. Version 0.145-dev did not work either. Some help would be great. Thanks.

I have the same problem, but now on my pixel 5, yesterday I downloaded the app from the play market

+1. Unable to link device

[arejmaniak]

I abandoned the iOS linkage but Android still worked for me. What I did instead was use the signal CLI to verify and register the phone number as a primary device instead of using the iOS device as the primary and linking as a secondary device.

bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api:0.164-dev seems to work. At least for me.
