App

Thunderbird for Android

App version

8.2

Where did you get the app from?

Google Play

Android version

13

Device model

Samsung Galaxy S20FE

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Tap "Add account"
3. input a gmail address
4. Thunderbird says "Configuration found", then tap "Sign in with Google"
5. Thunderbird either crashes or returns to "Settings"

Expected behavior

Be able to continue with OAuth 2.0 and add a gmail account.

Actual behavior

Thunderbird either crashes or returns to "Settings".

The problem I'm experiencing is different from #8598, as I can't even see the "Sign in - Google Accounts" screen.

The logs below suggest that somehow it couldn't find a browser, despite the fact that my device has Firefox and Brave installed (but Google Chrome is disabled). Enabling Google Chrome also didn't help (same behavior and same fatal exception in the logs). This seems to be related to #8250.

I did some further digging online, and this seems to be related to an old issue in AppAuth-Android. According to the discussion there, Samsung devices are particularly affected by that issue.

Following one of the comments there, I installed Opera and now I can finally complete the OAuth and add a gmail account to Thunderbird. I didn't have to make Opera the default browser. Just having it installed is good enough.

It's a surprise that none of the major browsers worked except for Opera, and it feels weird to have to install a 3rd-party browser just for the purpose of doing OAuth.
