io.element.e2ee['force_disable'] not respected

[kashif-umair]

Steps to reproduce

The client well-known looks like this

{
  "io.element.e2ee": {
    "default": false,
    "force_disable": true
  },
  "m.homeserver": {
    "base_url": "https://chat.the-revivalists.org/"
  }
}

According to that, the client should forcefully disable any encryption related settings. It works perfectly on element web but the Android app doesn't respect this setting.

I believe the issue is around this code. I don't see anything related to forcefully disabling encryption:

element-android/vector/src/main/java/im/vector/app/features/roomdirectory/createroom/CreateRoomController.kt

Lines 162 to 178 in 4231b32

	formSwitchItem {
	id("encryption")
	enabled(enableFormElement)
	title(host.stringProvider.getString(R.string.create_room_encryption_title))
	summary(
	if (viewState.hsAdminHasDisabledE2E) {
	host.stringProvider.getString(R.string.settings_hs_admin_e2e_disabled)
	} else {
	host.stringProvider.getString(R.string.create_room_encryption_description)
	}
	)
	switchChecked(viewState.isEncrypted ?: viewState.defaultEncrypted[viewState.roomJoinRules].orFalse())
	listener { value ->
	host.listener?.setIsEncrypted(value)
	}

Outcome

What did you expect?

The switch toggle should be disabled and it should not be possible to enable it.

What happened instead?

The switch toggle was active and I was able to enable the encryption while creating a room.
