Cannot Login Client w Google

[4o4R]

Been running fine for months, but just updated client to latest version on Windows 11. When running for first time and setting up (no changes to server that has been fine), I click on the Sign in with Google button and a blank window pops up but never loads. Using the windows exe from github. Separately, the Windows store version doesnt even run on my machine.

Potential dupe of #2640. Check if the solution in that thread works for you.

Also, for the store app issue, does it not run, or does it not show a window? If the latter, have you tried the solution mentioned in this comment?

Thanks; neither fix works for this issue.

The store app doesn't run even if you clear the app data?

Right; I delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueBubbles" fully and then installed the exe from the github release files for the google login error (google popup box doesnt load). I then deleted that folder agian, and I then tried to install via MS Store and nothing happens. It does show in task manager, but nothing on screen.

The correct folder to delete is %localappdata%\Packages\23344BlueBubbles.BlueBubbles_2fva2ntdzvhtw\LocalCache\Roaming\BlueBubbles

That folder does not exist since I only installed for all Users.

That's where the store version should be reading/writing its AppData. Not sure why it doesn't exist for you.

You can work around the Google issue on the github version by using the manual entry option. Will leave this issue open as it seems like a new problem

To get the "bluebubbles_app.exe.WebView2" folder created, first run BlueBubbles as admin and then get to this same step, trying to login with google then cancel that out. Now the folder exists but empty.

Then set "bluebubbles_app.exe.WebView2" folder permission for users to everything.

That fix worked! I can now see the google login box and then login! Thank you! Could this be fixed in the code going forward?
