Sign in with Google fails #39

Closed nickgirga closed 1 year ago

nickgirga commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Accidentally reset my mcpelauncher's UI settings, so it signed me out of my Google account. Unfortunately, when I went to sign back in, the loading icon just kept spinning and the Google sign-in page never showed up. I even left it like that for about an hour and it just kept "loading".

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download the 0.3.3-683 AppImage release
  2. Run the AppImage and click "Sign in with Google"
  3. Observe infinitely spinning loading icon and no information given in terminal or logs

Expected behavior When you click the "Sign in with Google" button, the Google sign-in panel should pop-up in order for you to input your Google account details.

Screenshots mcpelauncher

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context I managed to start playing again by installing and running the version on the AUR instead. Google kept saying it was an "insecure browser", so I just kept restarting mcpelauncher until it stopped complaining and it eventually did. Once it worked, my login credentials were saved locally again, and the AppImage version could just auto-login without ever needing to load the sign-in page.

Because the AUR version can sign-in but the AppImage version can't, it leads me to believe that this is a version-specific issue regarding cooperation with Google's sign-in system. I only recently switched to the AppImage version a few months ago and it seemed to work as expected then, so I'm not sure what has changed since then.

The game itself also functions fine. Because I still have the version/profile files, I can run my old configurations using the command line tool mcpelauncher-client. They function perfectly. It would seem this is just a Google issue.

Workaround should be applied automatically in the AppImage v0.3.4 or later
