Follow redirects in android app when providing room URL

Hi there! Thanks for all the work that you do on this app 😃

This is the tiniest feature request is terms of priority, but thought I’d log it anyhow.

Is your feature request related to a problem you are facing? Very tiny inconvenience of app trying to process a redirected link as a https://<server url>/<room>

Describe the solution you’d like When offering a link like https://link.hypha.coop/calls, would be nice if the app recognized the redirect and instead parsed info from final URL.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Being more explicit with instructions, so people know to only use mobile app via the “resolved” url. (We use a redirect so that our docs don’t need updating if we switch underlying room or servers.)

Hey, thanks for willing to help out!

The fix needs to happen in JS, which is where the URL is actually handled. Specifically around here: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/5429b8568e0ddb2d352206d219e37111b831e312/react/features/app/actions.js#L43

Basicallt, before we process the URL, we’d do the HEAD request thing and update it.
