Login Loop

[zoglesby]

After the last update my phone is stuck in a loop logging into my site. The app asks for a URL again, I provide it, login in, auth, get the message that it was good, and then I am taken back to the page asking for a URL. It was working fine prior to the most recent update, and is still working on another device.

The device that it is not working on in a Note 8 with Android 8.0 with the May 2018 security patches. Let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot this.

So the other device works fine .. interesting. I'll see if there are known problems with Note 8.

Couple of questions/tests:

• can you try clearing the data in the Applications overview screen for Indigenous, maybe it's stuck because old data is still around.
• Also, when you authenticate, and everything is fine (as in the message 'Authentication succesful' is printed), do you see an account in the accounts overview screen on your device (where you would also see your google accounts or instance) ? That's the major change at the with the latest release.
• one last thing: do you have a microsub endpoint too, or is it only for posting ?

1. I have tried this and I did not help
2. The account is in the systems accounts list
3. I also have a microsub endpoint, running my own instance of Aperture

Ok, good to know that the account is in the accounts list, that at least gives me a good pointer to figure out the problem, or a solution :)

Thanks for that information!

I'm experiencing the same issue described here. It seems like I auth successfully but I end up back on the authentication screen.

I see the messages:

• Validating code
• Authentication successful
• Syndication targets saved (I think, something similar anyway!)

To answer the previous questions:

• I have cleared the app data but it didn't solve the issue
• I see the Indigenous account in the accounts overview screen
• I don't currently have a microsub endpoint (I plan to add one soon though :) )

Interesting, so for some reason the user is not saved in the user data accounts.

Emulator tests don't fail on this, but I /think/ I have a workaround, will ship a potential solution over the weekend normally.

[swentel]

So I've added something that hopefully fixes the issue.

When you open the app, on the sign in screen you should see a button which allows you to set an account. You should also see something like 'No default account was set, you can select one by pressing the "Set account" button'. If that isn't there, something else is wrong, but then I have no idea atm.

New release pushed, should be available in a couple of hours.

It worked! Amazing, thanks so much for resolving :)

Awesome!

I've added this to the README - I should probably add this to the site as well.
