Hey @MrZhang123, can you try adding userAgent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.91 Safari/537.36" in login.screen.js line 259 ?

Let me know if it works 🙏

@machour Thanks for your help , add this code

userAgent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.91 Safari/537.36"

can fixed the not support in your browser, but not use in button disabled.

I guess my Genymotion run slow cause this problem , when i run client in android device for develop , the button can touch and login . github authorise just once and then can develop , so I can give authorise and then login the Genymotion to fixed this problem.

@MrZhang123 i had this problem and tried a lot of things.
The only solution i found was installing chrome and fix it that way.

@FlorianTaut was that on a real device or an emulator? I'm a bit worried by the problem :/

[MrZhang123]

@FlorianTaut I installing chrome x86 in Genymotion , but not fix it , I have to use real device.

@MrZhang123 should I go ahead and close this issue?
You got me a bit worried about old (real) devices.. is there a way you can test on a physical device with an old OS ?

@MrZhang123 @machour i had this issue on Android emulator. Searched the hole internet and even asked github for support.

They told me the same as the browser. Its not supported and i should use chrome instead.
Downloaded the apk and installed it with drag and drop to the emulator.

Then set the default browser in settings and it should work.

❗️ This has nothing to do with gitpoint it self. You will have this issue with every app which needs authorization from github.

Closing this for now, as it seems to only affect the emulator
