Gmscore: New install: Do goog accounts work at all now?

[Lanchon]

hi,

i just installed L4M (lineageos for microg). self-checks everything green. added a google account; i got the standard security alert via email. installed the gmail app, gave it all permissions. when i open it, it doesn't see the account configured on the device. if i use it to add a new account, the add works, but then the gmail app continues to not see any account.

i got my GSF ID and added an exception for it on goog. but nothing changed.

too much is happening lately with play certification and i couldn't really keep up.
is this the dreaded #510 ?

also, i installed yalp store, and it cannot log in with the bundled credentials. i did not want to try me real credentials. yalp store on my other device, which is gapps-enabled and where it used to work fine, now says "no network connection".

any pointers? thanks!

The problem of yalp store is unrelated, see here: https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore/issues/447

[Lanchon]

thanks! ok, i got fdroid's version, i need to wait for the fix. (waiting for fdroid builds gets me on my nerves :) .)

and the gmail issue?

[Lanchon]

what i want to know is: does gmail fails for everyone these days? or only for me?

[ildar]

Is it time to create a chat channel at Matrix.org or gitter or IRC?

(@ale5000-git, f-droid updated yalp store and now it works. gmail issue, i'm still lost about.)

[AreYouLoco]

That would be good to have irc channel. It would clean up a bit the issues at github from unexperienced users.

So vote up for IRC +1

Though beware that IRC is very outdated hence on 3rd place after Gitter and
Matrix.

[ArchangeGabriel]

Matrix would allow to bridge with an eventual IRC channel for people that prefer that.

[Lanchon]

thank you guys for your work here! i really mean it.

now could you please not hijack this thread and stay on topic? now i might need to close this issue down and open a new one to get a response to my Q.

(btw i've used microg before years ago and read through all the docs more than once, and i feel this question is warranted here. i would not have used any chat to post it.)

[ale5000-git]

@Lanchon
Gmail is still working for me but I logged in the account before the "certification thing" so I'm not sure.

Have you tried to manually grant contact permission to Gmail?
Have you tried an old version of Gmail?

[Lanchon]

hola ale,

thx! as i stated in OP all gmail apk permissions are granted. i havent tried an older app. i dont really have time to investigate or randomly poke at stuff at this time unfortunately. this time around if i cant get stuff to work on a recipe ill have to go gapps again and leave microg for next phone change... :(

[Catfriend1]

@Lanchon does the solution from https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/505#issuecomment-386449145 help you with the gmail issue?

[Lanchon]

hey @Catfriend1,

thx! weil i had read that thread, but the symptoms are very different. i can successfully add accounts (i have 2 now). the login step does not hang. furthermore, mine is a completely clean install: deleting the account db files probably will just put me back exactly where i started. this looks like a completely different issue. thank you!

[ale5000-git]

Currently I don't have time to test a clean flash but I will do some tests next week.

PS: Did you tried to install microG using my installer?
I have put a lot of code to automatically fix problems, in most cases it does work.
I have created the installer because there are a number of things that can cause problems that checking them at hand everytime I flash a new ROM would be annoying.

[Lanchon]

i didnt. but im using microg's lineage build and i expect it should work or to know whats wrong. plus i want to keep as L4M-stock as possible, so that updates just work and problems i find down the line are shared by others.

It's broken on playstore for me as well. It's constantly showing the "An app on your device is trying to sign into a Google account" prompt, even if I'm signed in. Pressing "sign in" causes a login prompt to show up, which fails because the account already exists on the device.

@Catfriend1 doesn't resolve the issue for me.

[ale5000-git]

For some people the access problem is fixed by enabling access to less secure apps here.

[Lanchon]

i've been accessing email via imap for years now, so this is already set in my accounts:

Allow less secure apps: ON

thx!

[drozdu]

I can confirm playstore showing constantly the ""An app on your device is trying to sign into a Google account" prompt. Having access to less secure apps "ON" does not help.

[dot-gov]

@ale5000-git not an option for me because I have 2fa enabled. also, the I can see the phone as signed in recently (I had to log in after deleting the android accounts database), so I'm pretty sure it's not a sign-in issue.

[ale5000-git]

Maybe resetting the account files on the phone will help, I will add an option in my tool to do it soon.

[dot-gov]

resetting the account files

you mean this: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/548#issuecomment-391504070 ?

I tried that too

[ale5000-git]

Yes, I haven't yet tried but maybe it help someone.

[Lanchon]

im running microg 0.2.4.111-.....b48. is this what i should be running?

i continue to have this issue and unfortunately it looks like ill be back to gapps until i swap phones again next year. i can't really do the migration unless i have a new phone to work with; i can't afford to be disconnected for an unknown length of time while doing the work.

[ilikenwf]

I too have the issue with play not recognizing the login.

[ildar]

we'd better have all the "me too"-s in a chat :(
@nailyk , adding +1 to the top post would indicate your "too" allright

[MarcoWilli]

I am also having issues now after updating microG core to some unofficial version. Somehow my Google account got lost (while others remained) and I can't re-add it but with different error:

I can succeed each step (mail address, password, policy) but at the end it says there is a problem connecting to Google servers. Also with firewall off it does not work.

Read about deleting some account files but I guess that does delete all accounts? As my problem seems different I'm not sure if I should try this while there is risk of need to re-add all other accounts, too.

[Lanchon]

deleting account files doesnt work anyway. nothing works.

[LuccoJ]

@ildar @AreYouLoco we have an official IRC channel, even though it's not used very much (clearly because not many know about it). It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, #microg on freenode.

Since it was mentioned that Matrix may feel more modern, I've now bridged the channel at #microg:outcasts.win as a Matrix room.

[ale5000-git]

The problem should be fixed in the new version of microG GmsCore released yesterday, please try it and report back.
