1046736 - [MobileID] Set default country code in phone number manual selection.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System, defect)

Description

[Fernando Jiménez Moreno [:ferjm]]

We are currently not setting any default value for the country code manual selection within the MobileID dialog and we force the user to scroll through the huge list of country codes, which is alphabetically ordered. This is quite a painful UX, specially if you live in Zimbabwe.

We should instead default to the country code of the available SIM card if possible.

The change itself is quite short, but I had to make a little bit of refactoring of the UI.init function to be able to add tests for this fix. I also took the chance to fix a few linter errors on the css.

Is this a one time setup annoyance or does the user have to select from this list regularly while using the loop client?

The user has to do it the first time he registers via MobileID with a specific SIM or telephone number, if he changes the SIM or wants to enter another phone number to register in Loop will have to repeat the process/registration.

Blocking due to poor UX in Loop workflows.
