Hi there! I see you're running into a "Google sign in abort" error when trying to set up your BitePal account. That can definitely slow down getting started. To help me assist you best, may I ask—what kind of Google account are you trying to sign in with? Is it a personal Gmail account, or maybe a work/school account? Also, have you tried any different sign-in methods yet, like email or Apple ID?
Meanwhile, here are some helpful steps based on what we know about this error:
1. If you are using a Google Workspace (work or school) account or a child account, sometimes these have restrictions preventing the app from signing in via Google. Using a personal Gmail account often avoids this issue. 2. The app could be in test or limited release mode, meaning only certain Google accounts authorized as testers would work for sign-in right now. 3. Google no longer allows "Sign in with Google" inside embedded browser windows (called WebViews), so if the app doesn't open the proper external Google sign-in page, it may fail. 4. If you previously created a BitePal account without Google sign-in and now try to sign in with Google, that might cause conflicts too.
So to try next, you could:
- Attempt signing in with a different Google account, ideally a personal one. - Look for alternative sign-in options in the app, like manually creating an account with email or Apple sign-in if available. - Make sure the app is fully updated to the latest version. - If none of these work, reaching out directly to BitePal support at [email protected] can help since some issues may need their backend or account permissions fixed.
Let me know what you’ve tried or what kind of Google account you have, and we’ll get this sorted step-by-step!
