Good project

I am having issues with the redirecting part. Idk why the browser isn't redirecting me back to the app even when I click on the link. When I try to close the web page, it doesn't actually sign me in.

I am having issues with the redirecting part. Idk why the browser isn't redirecting me back to the app even when I click on the link. When I try to close the web page, it doesn't actually sign me in.

I successfully signed in and followed the redirection back to the Github app, but it showed there's an error and the login is not completed. So what's wrong? I opened the login link in Edge.

what's the fu** PITA login process not working on the GitHub apps on Android device... ?? No issue from login web interface, chrome, firefox , but not working at all in GitHub apps even if redirection to chrome it's not working at all....

I think I found the problem. The problem is in the redirecting link. My browser (Brave) doesn't accept it as a correct link for github app.

I have a same problem too.

This is still not helping me sign in..

This is what happened to my GitHub when I tried signing up to my GitHub mobile

What am I supposed to do??

Signing in, switching, and signing out of accounts

You can sign into GitHub Mobile with all GitHub.com account types, including GitHub Enterprise Cloud and Enterprise Managed Users (EMUs), as well as all GitHub Enterprise Server users running GHES 3.2+. 1

When you sign in for the first time, you'll be presented with a screen where you can choose to sign in with a GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise Server account.

Interacting with the account switcher

After your initial sign-in, you can log in with additional accounts by long-pressing the Profile tab at the bottom of the app or by navigating to Profile > Settings > Accounts to bring up the account switcher. From there, you can tap Add Account and proceed with the regular login process.

To manually swap between accounts, return to the account switcher and tap on the desired account. Similarly, to sign out of an account, return to the account switcher, tap Edit, then either the sign out icon or Sign out of all accounts.

The account switcher will indicate which accounts are Enterprise Server accounts, and include the notification count for each account at a glance.

When you're logged into multiple accounts, the app will also show you which account you're using to view, comment, or interact with all content, including push notifications, UI in comments and in the tab bar, and informative popups from URLs that open within GitHub Mobile.

Troubleshooting the login flow

Occasionally, you may experience unexpected issues while attempting to log in. Here are some tips and guidelines for troubleshooting common sign-in issues:

Make sure that you have the latest version of the GitHub mobile app installed on your device.

To ensure you’re always on the latest available version of GitHub Mobile, enable auto updates in the Google Play Store or App Store.

Check your browser's capabilities and settings.

Some browsers have custom settings to allow app links to open outside the browser. These settings may be disabled by default, and need to be actively turned on. There some instances where these settings may also cause redirection to GitHub Mobile when trying to log in or out of GitHub.com in your browser. This loop can be interrupted by adjusting your browser settings for opening links in apps to 'ask before opening'. Here's how you can do this:

Open your default/preferred browser. Scroll through the available settings to see if there is a toggle to open supported links. The process may vary depending on the browser you're using.

For example, on Android devices:

In Firefox, this setting is under Advanced > Open links in apps > Ask before opening.

In Brave, this setting is in Brave Shields & Privacy > Allow app links to open in apps outside of Brave.

Changing this setting to ask before opening will prompt for your permission before it opens a link in an app. When a dialog box appears, asking if you want to open the link in the GitHub Mobile app or stay in the browser, choosing to stay in the browser will avoid a redirection loop.

Note

If your default browser does not have similar settings, try logging in using a different browser to see if the issue persists.

Try clearing the cache and cookies of your browser and the GitHub app.

Check if there are any updates available for your browser or device.
