Streetcomplete: OAuth Fails

[ralph-schleicher]

Installed version 3.5 yesterday on a LG G4 running LineageOS 7.1.2.

OAuth behaviour is similar to #731.
The error message is as follows:

Webseite nicht verfügbar

Die Website unter
https://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth/authorize
konnte nicht geladen, weil:

net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

There are multiple StreetComplete items listed on the OAuth details page of my OSM account. Seems as if a new one is generated whenever StreetComplete tries to authenticate.

Are you using the default browser of LineageOS (Jelly) and did you tried to autheticate with other browsers (e.g. Firefox or Chrome)?

[ralph-schleicher]

Yes its Jelly. Haven't tried another browser.

I just searched the syslog for StreetComplete/OAuth related messages and the only thing I could find is this:

Mmhh... Okay, It seems like Jelly can't handle the OAuth callback URL for StreetComplete... Instead it tries to search for a result using google which results in a 404 error... I would consider this as a problem of LineageOS's Jelly browser, but could you please download Firefox and then tell me the result to make sure that this issue is not related to StreetComplete?

[westnordost]

You need to use another browser for that. See https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/413#issuecomment-328339064 for more details.

I wonder if it would be possible to report this problem to the Jelly developers somewhere. I did not find any repository with a bugtracker.

[ralph-schleicher]

I installed Firefox Klar and now it works. Thanks for your help.

Since this is not the first issue related to StreetComplete's OAuth mechanism it might be a good idea to document this problem more prominent so that new users don't quit immediately.

[westnordost]

Okay well, I put it into the wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete/FAQ

Best solution would be if people who maintain the package would fix it, but it seems there is no way to reach them.

[ENT8R]

I finally found their bugtracker and opened a new issue for that!
It can be found at https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1393
BTW: their bug reporting system is IMO completely weird... You can only report general bugs/issues from Midnight UTC on Friday through Midnight UTC on Monday... Why???

[quite]

Btw, Lineageos's Jira now redirects here: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues and I can't find that bug there in the Android project. @ENT8R

[westnordost]

I will change the authorization (back) to using an internal webview to avoid being dependent on buggy browsers in the future.

This change doesn't work in latest version, sorry to say: "Unable to reach the authentication server" it says. Should I open another issue ticket?
