XMPP no longer works

Bug Reports
6

Sorry for the necromancy, just in case someone finds this thread, following the ancient answer on TMO I can’t find right now, manually adding an XMPP contact can be done using the People .vcf import.

  1. Create a vcf file like:

    BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Example Jabber Contact;;;;
FN:Example Jabber Contact
X-JABBER:username@jabber.example.org
END:VCARD

  2. Save it to ${HOME}/Documents (NB: in sandboxed-enabled SFOS versions, People can not access $HOME or Downloads, causing the import to fail. Do use Documents)

  3. Launch the Settings app

  4. Go to Apps->People

  5. Select “import from contact file”

  6. Select .vcf file to import

  7. Close Settings and People

  8. Open People

  9. Search for your new contact and link it to the proper contact in your addressbook.
