Add "Invite people"to the space menu in the left panel and update menu order

[kittykat]

When you open left panel -> ⋯ menu for a Space, the first item in the list should be "Invite people", like on Android.

The menu order should be:

• Invite people
• Explore rooms
• Members
• Settings
• Add room
• Add space
• Leave

@niquewoodhouse @kittykat quick questions:

• on iOS the copy is Members and on android List members. Do you want to change it?
• on small screens the user needs to scroll to see the leave item. I can reduce the height of each menu item if you want
• Just to make sure, selecting Invite People obviously opens the invite screen for the space

Here is a short screen record:

• on iOS the copy is Members and on android List members. Do you want to change it?

No, it should be "Members" (Android has a PR in review to fix that)

• on small screens the user needs to scroll to see the leave item. I can reduce the height of each menu item if you want

-> Nique for decision

I think it's better to make it shorter, but it's also important to fit in with other parts of the app.

• Just to make sure, selecting Invite People obviously opens the invite screen for the space

Yes and to be clear, the "Invite people" option should be available even on spaces where the user isn't an admin but can still share the link or invite other users in some way.

Good point. I followed the same UX strategy: the "Invite people" option is displayed but an alert is displayed if the user doesn't have enough right to invite people. Note that this is the exact behaviour we already have in the space members screen:

FYI, on Android we hide it atm if the user doesn't have permissions to invite

to confirmed by @niquewoodhouse but I understood that is the chosen strategy all over the app.

That was for while you couldn't do anything additive to a space in the app for iOS. So adding a room, inviting people. We thought all feedback would be "how do I add someone/a room". Now it seems like you'll be able to invite people to spaces you have the rights to? So now iOS needs to reflect Android and remove that option if user doesn't have permission.

If we do this what happens if user has dynamic type? I'd rather we leave them whatever size they are now and making such sheets better is an IA issue, so they're consistent. I think it would be strange to experience a smaller menu here but bigger elsewhere.

Just to add, I think this could be a follow up issue if we need to get this out in this RC - what do you think @kittykat

[gileluard]

This is not consistent with other screens in my opinion:

We'll need to rework Home, timeline, space members and explore room screens in this case if we want to be consistent.

In that case, I think we should move this kind of work into IA and not spaces (how do we treat things across app when user has not enough rights/permissions) and leave it as is wdyt @kittykat ?

[kittykat]

Agreed, we can review the interactions as part of IA rather than Spaces.
