[Bug] Transferrence of onwership of channel has issues

[fleurc]

Have you read a contributing guide?

• I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
• I have searched the existing issues and didn't find any that were similar
• I have considered creating a pull request with fixes instead of a bug report and want to proceed

Current Behavior

Whenever I've interacted with the transfer of ownership feature in Anytype only bugs have happened.

The first bug I've encountered was that the channel was made inaccessible to certain devices. [Have not been able to replicate thanks to third bug]

The second bug I've encountered was that upon being transferred ownership and closing the app completely the channel has disappeared, Channel in question was a Get Started channel. [Have not been able to reproduce]

The third bug I've encountered is simply that whenever transferring ownership it becomes impossible to enable member link sharing again. [Have reproduced it multiple times between a new user I've made on Windows and my user on Linux]

Expected Behavior

When transferring the ownership new owner has both access to channel and ability to manage member invitation freely.

Steps To Reproduce

Bug 1:

1. Invite member
2. Make them admin
3. Transfer Ownership
4. Leave channel
5. New owner reinvites old owner
6. Channel becomes inaccessible in some devices (Mainly Linux computers) afterwards.

Bug 2:

Steps 1 through 4 of Bug 1;
5. Crash anytype
6. Channel no longer exists.

Bug 3:

Steps 1 through 3 of Bug 1;
4. Member Invitations are disabled
5. Enable invitation
6. Get stopped by a duplicate link error.

Environment

- OS: CachyOS June 26
- Version: 0.56.1

Idk how to code to make a pull request.

Screenshot with Get Started happened upon opening the app again, an unknown use asked for access to the get started channel which has disappeared and it bugged out in that screen, needed to restart app again to get rid of it.
