Research direction

Start by reproducing the account-add flow from Nextcloud Notes or Deck using the listed application and device versions, then compare it with the working Nextcloud and Talk flows. Done means the account selector completes instead of disappearing into an endless loading spinner.

Description

bug needs info/discussion

When I select to add an account from the menu of Nextcloud Notes or Nextcloud Deck, the application shows at the center of the screen "Select account" and nothing more. If I press anywhere outside the message, the message disappears and a moving circle is shown for ever.
In contrary Nextcloud and Nextcloud Talk both work as expected.

An issue created initially at https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-notes/issues/784 (includes a screenshot), and followed by the current issue here as suggested.

My versions:
Nextcloud: 3.11.1
Nextcloud Talk: 8.0.9
Nextcloud Notes: 2.11.12
Nextcloud Deck: 1.0.1
