Mediated connection - empty string for DIDDoc's publickey controller in the Invitee Request message about aries-vcx HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @mkempa apologies for late feedback. Indeed, it looks like it should be straightforward, but addressing this is currently beyond our bandwidth capacity.
The best course of actions I advise for you is try to reproduce the issue locally on Rust level, rather than dealing with it through extra android layer.

Also, please beware that mediated connection along with vcxagency-node are deprecated. To give you some additional context where we are, where we heading:

• The mediated connection - MediatedConnection - abstraction has been deprecated early 2023
• Instead we created non-mediated version of connection - Connection<I, S>. Using this, there can be still mediation, but it must be dealt with externally by the aries_vcx consumer.
• One of the reason why MediatedConnection is deprecated is because it relies on non-standard protocol to talk to the mediator itself.
• In 2024, we have created new mediator project (as part of mentorship project, by our mentee) https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-vcx/tree/main/aries/agents/rust/mediator - this follow standard mediation protocols- - There's no client component to it yet, which is a missing piece here. Technically there's kind of client which is used tests for the mediator service, but practically there's outstanding work to make that a user friendly black box component.

If you are in early stages of your project, one thing you could consider is to use our "dummy" mediator https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-vcx/tree/main/misc/simple_message_relay
This implementation is non-standard, it's unsafe, it's really "dummy" just for development and testing. But if your timeframes allow, this might be sufficient to where you are in the dev cycle, and wait out the period while the mediator component (or particularly its client) further matures. This way you could drop the use of MediatedConnection and vcxagency-node.

I went on detour about your original question here, but it's relevant in regard to the fact you are using MediatedConnection at all.

The mediated connection has been decomissioned and is no longer available.
