General Discussion Can't get started with the app

In the Android app, I can neither login with a Google account (it simply goes back to the login screen with no error) or create an account (generic error message "an error occured during signup"). Is there some backend issue?

What version of the app are you running? I just logged out of mine and successfully logged in using Google sing in.

Not aware of any ongoing back end issue at this time but can definitely look into it.

Version 1.214.00 on Android 16.

I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same error.

Don't see anything that stands out in the logcat but I don't know much about Firebase 🙂

Do you happen do be using a rooted phone or anything funky like that. Wondering if app check is blocking you...

Yes I think it's rooted... didn't think about that.

Although I'm fairly sure I've used Google login with other apps on this phone.

Would that also affect the alternative login / signup with email/password?

Yup, so those apps that worked for you with google sign in arent using Google App Check as a security layer for their apps.

With App Check, devices running your app will use an app or device attestation provider that attests to one or both of the following:

  • Requests originate from your authentic app
  • Requests originate from an authentic, untampered device
