element-android: UIAA for register is wrong (needs MSC)
Registering on Conduit fails. I looked at the request jsons and it looks like it sends a /register request with just auth and session keys. The spec says a client should retry the original request PLUS auth and session.

I made Conduit’s UIAA implementation work like synapse’s: The first request to a uiaa endpoint is saved and associated with a uiaa session. If another request to the uiaa endpoint is made with that uiaa session, we add all top level fields from the first request to the request if the field didn’t exist already.
I think we can close this issue when an MSC for this behavior is accepted
It would be great to fix this soon or even just temporarily edit the error message to say something like “registration only works with Synapse servers right now”.
Today someone was trying to setup a Dendrite server and spent hours trying to reconfigure it because they thought their server was broken but it was just this bug.
