Bug Report
Problem
Originally the issue was reported by user:
Can't connect to goerli testnet. Since rinkeby and ropsten work, I think the problem is that goerli has a blockscout url Set instead of infura RPC.
I also can't even set it up manually, as the "chain-id already defined"
Expected behavior
Can switch to Goerli network
Actual behavior
Reproduction
- Open Status
- Navigate to
Profile
->Advanced
->Network
->Goerli
- Tap
Connect
Additional Information
- Status version: Release 1.12.2, develop
- Operating System: Android, iOS
Note
There is a similar issue but with a different error: #9688

It should at least be possible to add a custom goerli network.
But I also think it's just to fix the URL, as the blockscout URL is not an RPC one, afaik.

@cammellos @jakubgs need your opinion here when you have time 🙏
Originally, the Goerli network was added in 2019 with the aim of switching from the Ropsten network to the Goerli (#7734 and discussion here).
But it never happened, and we currently have no way to switch to Goerli and check if it works at all.
So the question is, do we still need this network in the Status app?
Should we fix it or maybe just remove it from the networks list? And also, probably we could add the possibility to add a custom Goerli network instead, as @tennox suggests.

actually, we just need to use infura rpc, I think it shouldn't hurt a lot our infura usage, but might be useful for dapps developers

Goerli is still a much better network than Ropsten, and would be great for tests, but it lacks contracts we need for the app.
We do have our own goerli endpoints in CI infra tho: https://ci-goerli.status.im/secret-token-here
But Infura works too.
