Unable to link account (IgResponseError: POST /api/v1/accounts/read_msisdn_header/ - 302 Found)

I get this error when linking - is this a bug? I'm unable to link and the link ... ... message isn't marked as seen.

Installed via matrix-docker-ansible-deploy. list and help in the room with the bot works fine.

There is an issue about this at dilame/instagram-private-api#1417 - as proposed there, simply commenting all occurrences of preLoginFlow() fixed this for me and the bridge now seems to be working just fine.

Specifically, I commented these lines:

mx-puppet-instagram/src/index.ts

Line 112 in aa5d167

await igc.simulate.preLoginFlow();

mx-puppet-instagram/src/client.ts

Line 71 in aa5d167

await this.ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();

mx-puppet-instagram/src/api.ts

Line 55 in aa5d167

await igc.simulate.preLoginFlow();

A better solution might be a try-catch around these function calls, although using preLoginFlow() doesn't seem to be necessary at all.
