Connection with DAVdroid impossible - "405 error method not allowed"

Hi

My issue :
I had an DAVdroid account connecting to Nextcloud 12.0.4 (Or 12.0.3) and working fine.
I had to remove the account as I was moving domain (following the guide “moving-nextcloud-installation-from-one-domain-to-another”) but I can’t reconnect DAVdroid now. It now fails with error message (translated) “Configuration detection - No access to CalDAV or CardDAV services”. The DAVdroid debug shows “405 error - Method not allowed”.

The only thing I did appart from moving domain was playing with “Devices Token” but I am now using my main login and password for DAVdroid.

Web access, Nextcloud client on windows and Android works fine with main login
I did test on demo nextcloud com and it works, DAVdroid shows the next screen proposing to create an account on the phone

Any help is appreciated !

Nextcloud version : 12.0.4
Operating system and version : Linux based
Apache or nginx version : Unknown
PHP version : 7.0
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?: Yes

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps): Yes
*Open DAVdroid
*click add an account
*type in the URL : [MY-DOMAIN]/remote.php
*login : main nextcloud login (user on web interface)
*click submit, after a while, the error message appears.

DAVdroid Version: 1.9.5-ose, uninstalled and reinstalled after reboot as per their FAQ.

AS part of the domain move, are you using a different web server? There’s a switch for apache somewhere that turns off DAV, as I recall.

It is the same server. I add both domains pointing to the same subfolder. I followed the tutorial there : Moving Nextcloud installation from one domain to another and simply edited the config.php file and DNS zone.

After much research it appears to be a peculiarity of my web host provider OVH and the way it handles cookies.
See issue 223. Patch adressing this already merged : 1328 and 797

Open nextcloud/lib/base.php and edit around line 534 to add Davdroid tot he incompatible user agents.

$incompatibleUserAgents = [
    			// OS X Finder
    			'/^WebDAVFS/',
    			// DAVdroid
    			'/^DAVdroid/',

When associating DAVdroid with the Nextcloud account use the full url instead of the one provided by the Nextcloud android client : https://nextcloud.mon-domaine.fr/remote.php/dav/principals/users/my_login
