I followed this step but after clicking the next button, I got this error
I was unable to proceed as well, you are not wrong. Report this on  https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

It is a bug.

I tried it on Desktop Electum and it worked. But not working on Android. Maybe a lower version may work on Android. But best is to report it so that it can be solved in the next update, or use desktop version of Electrum.
I gist OP is right maybe you should report this types of problems to the support @electrum.co.za. Or still you should get a new version for the windows

That medium article mentioned contain download link to known fake Electrum website[2]. In case the medium article got removed, it's already archived on archive.org[3]. In general, fake Electrum hosted on fake Electrum website is malware used to steal your Bitcoin.
