Custom planet UI removed in 1.16.0 — please restore
I'm a long-time ZeroTier user running my own root server (custom planet). On version 1.14.2 the iOS app had a
gear/settings icon in the top-right corner that opened a screen where I could paste my base64-encoded planet file. It
worked reliably and was the reason I was able to use ZeroTier on iPhone at all.
After updating to 1.16.0, that settings icon is gone. There is no visible way inside the app to import or edit a
custom planet anymore.
I understand from the official 1.16 release blog post that the intended new flow is to scan a QR code from
joinzt.com/addplanet via the iPhone's system camera, which should then deep-link into the app via a universal link and
prompt to import the planet. In practice this does not work for me on 1.16.0:
- The system camera recognizes the URL but tapping the banner just opens the joinzt.com page in Safari; the ZeroTier
app is never launched.
- Scanning the same QR code from inside the ZeroTier app's own scanner does nothing — that scanner appears to only
accept 16-hex network IDs.
- Reinstalling the app did not restore the universal-link association.
The result is that custom planet support, which the release notes explicitly highlight as a 1.16 feature for power
users, is effectively unreachable on iOS. This is also reported in GitHub issue #2518, with multiple users describing
the same regression.
Please either:
1. Bring back the in-app settings screen for pasting a base64 planet (as in 1.14.2), or
2. Fix the universal-link handling so the joinzt.com QR / URL flow actually launches the app and triggers the import
dialog.
Until then, anyone running their own roots is stuck and cannot downgrade through the App Store. Thanks for considering
— ZeroTier is otherwise a great product and I'd like to keep using it on iPhone.
