bug: sending game invitation via text message

iOS: If the recipient of a game invitation is not logged into lichess in Safari, then the game will not be accessible in the lichess app.

Starting from a text message invitation, the invitation URL first opens in Safari, before opening the app. If the recipient is not logged in from the browser, the game will be accepted by "anonymous". When the app loads (and is already logged into an account), the game will not be playable.

Ideally, I would prefer to select from a list of my friends rather than using a URL, so that an invitation is sent natively.
@msiripong If your friend is online, you can send a 'native' challenge by doing the following:

1. Click the 'friends icon' at the top right of the app
2, Clicking their name to visit their profile
3. Scroll down on their profile and click Challenge to a game'

Let me know if this helps!
