Cross-verification does not work on first try

[barathrm]

Steps to reproduce

1. log in on element x android
2. when verification is asked for, accept and click start on element desktop
3. element desktop is stuck saying "waiting" and element x android is waiting forever as well
4. abort both (cancel desktop, go back once on android), then try again, and it will work

Outcome

What did you expect?

cross-verification to work on first try

What happened instead?

Had to try twice.

I was able to reproduce this by logging out and logging in again on android.

Yes

Are you willing to provide a PR?

Tried logging out and in again, and this time it took 6 tries IIRC. Tried cross-verifying from schildichat, element desktop, and tried closing and reopening the element x app in-between as well as going all the way back to the start in the verification flow in element x instead of just hitting "retry".

In the end it worked, but I don't know why it finally worked. The cross-verification requests always popped up immediately in element desktop and schildichat.

I had the same issue, but it also did not import any chats - I'm not sure whether it's because the verification did not complete as expected or because of something else
