OTR key excahnge (star encryption) not working with slack's xmpp gateway
Keys are never exchanged, I just see the loading bar at the top after pressing start encryption.
It works fine from pidgin though (both clients pidgin I mean)
Which version of the app are you running?

I couldn't find anything that Slack supports OTR, @mike-pt could you point to some docs about that?
oh duh, I was thinking user to server. Does Slack allow direct XMPP messages? Or only XMPP group messages?
It does seem to support user messages.... all the Slack team members come up in your roster.
Slack native apps don't support OTR, but you can use other clients to connect to the xmpp gateway (they also have a irc gateway)
It works fine with "pidgin <-> pidign" assuming the xmpp gateway is enable in the "Teams Settings". In this case it is and as I've pointed out pidgin works fine.
One other thing... if I star encryption from pidgin I see the regular "no otr message" in the web app (or other apps):
[email protected]/pidgin has requested an Off-the-Record private conversation <https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>. However, you do not have a plugin to support that.
See https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/ for more information.
But from chatsecure nothing happens.
Actually it seems I've failed to notice the real issue here... I cannot send messages at all to a slack xmpp gateway... I was first testing to start a otr chat, but I've just confirmed all I can only read messages but not send anything I type.
To clarify I can type the text and press send, but the server doesn't seem to receive anything since other users don't see it neither it shows on the web app for me.
