Could you sign in to this app before upgrading to v0.2.23?

Nope, Same issue with setting up WhatsApp backup, I did work once, cant remember on which version though.

I have the same issue on 0.2.24.214816 (trying to log into Webtoons app with google account, which is unfortunate as their non-social login has been broken for 4 years but they don't care as everyone uses social sign-in) If logs would help I can add some, but it's that same com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.service.START they're complaining about

It should work with the latest code (not released yet); for those that want to try there is the official nightly build.
