icloud-for-linux cannot access Apple

[pcoreyster]

Starting Wednesday, June 6, 2024, the following image (graphic) was experience as the app was starting up

I am using POP!_OS 22.04 with Firefox installed via flatpak. This configuration has been working for about two years, but recently (for the last 2 days) all the snap apps (shipped via snapd) launch without any web page.

I can access the site directly via icloud.com using the same system/browser/operating system.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04. Installed iCloud app from the App Center, and all the various apps display the above error as well.

Dang. The day after I install Arch and start getting comfy this stops working. That sucks

[juergenbader-hh]

Same problem on elementaryOS - same picture. I would like to avoid using other browsers instead of icloud-for-linux

[lfhoward]

Same exact problem using the Brave browser. Had previously been working.

[WiteWulf]

Getting the same problem. Was on ubuntu 22, so upgrade to 24.04. Still getting the problem.

App Centre reports version 0.13 installed, which is interesting as that's no listed on this repo.

Same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish (x86-64)

Same on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. Worked initially a few weeks back, now doesn't. I have various browsers installed, but it's erroring whichever I make default. I have Firefox 127.0 (64-bit), Chrome 125.0.6422.141, Edge 125.0.2535.92.

I started having the same problems a few days ago. I was moved to web UI as a temporary solution. It would be great if this is fixed. I like the iCloud app on Ubuntu.

Hey guys, I'll have a look at this over the weekend.

[pcoreyster]

Marcus, thank you. I have introduced many of my friends/peers to this snap app as these individual switch from macOS to Ubuntu/Pop!_OS.

Fixed in 0.14

Fixed in 0.14

Thanks @MarcusTomlinson - interested in what caused the issue, if you've the time to explain. Otherwise, thanks for fixing it so quickly. :)

It appears Apple have decided to get smart about browser detection - beyond just reading the User Agent. Electron is clearly not a browser they want to support.

The fix was to move to a C++ app and use a system native webview instead. On the up side, it'll definitely be more efficient this way, on the down side, it'll likely have a bunch of new issues of its own.

I'm running 0.19 and still suffering from this problem.

I'm running 0.19 and still suffering from this problem.

Could you try re-installing like this:

snap remove icloud-for-linux
rm -rf ~/snap/icloud-for-linux
snap install icloud-for-linux

[jptraverso26]

I followed your instructions and get the same result

[MarcusTomlinson]

I followed your instructions and get the same result

Can't say what's wrong there but please try 0.20, see if it resolves for you.

Hi,

thanks for the instruction. It solved the problem.

Now everything runs perfect again.

Thanks again
