Ran adb and saw the following error upon creating a new goal:

It looks like there's a logfile created at /data/user/0/io.rosenpin.goals/app_flutter/goalsForGoogleCalendar.log. What's a good way to pull that? I will attach it to this bug.

Thanks for the detailed feedback
Firstly I'd check that you are logged in to your Google Calendar app with the same account you signed into Goaly
Are you using the standard Google Calendar app?

Regarding the logfile, it would be very helpful if you can pull it using adb pull /data/user/0/io.rosenpin.goals/app_flutter/goalsForGoogleCalendar.log
But you might be have to be rooted to do so
You could do adb shell su followed by the previous command
Please let me know if this is relevant

[rosenpin]

I don't see any errors in our Firebase reports for your device, do you have any adblock/vpn guard or something like that that might block requests to Google's APIs/Google analytics?

[opie4624]

My phone isn't rooted, so I can't do the adb pull or the adb shell su.

There should be nothing blocking it. I just cleared storage and went through onboarding again. Is there a device ID I can provide you?

Notable thing: When I connect to Google Calendar, the "New goal created!" page never shows checkmarks next to the "View events" "Track your goals" and "Statistics" items. It just shows the wavy blocks forever.

Interesting

Please make sure that you're using the same Google account in both Google Calendar and Goaly

How long are you waiting for the "New Goal Created" screen to load? If it's more than a minute there might be a problem in the connection between your device and Google Calendar API

[rosenpin]

It's possible that no errors are recorded because technically no exception is thrown in the code.
Maybe it just loads indefinitely without getting a response from Google API
This could be because of internet connection issues, Google blocking the user, VPN/country limiting connectivity to Google etc.

For now, I would recommend reinstalling the app and using it without Google Calendar support (using the continue without Google button)
This will limit the app's functionality but will at least solve the connectivity issue

@opie4624 if you are willing to help investigate this issue further please send me an email and we will try to gather more information in order to solve it

[opie4624]

I am confident that internet connection issues aren't the issue. Last time I attempted it, the New Goal Created screen was "loading" for 10+ minutes with no progress. I'm in the US on Starlink, but I also tested from my cell provider connection (Verizon, solid 5G connection) with the same result. I'm confident that I've eliminated connectivity as an issue. Using the app without Google Calendar support does work, so I can always do that in a pinch. I'll reach out via email and we can try to coax some more details out on what's happening.
