Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4657

Originally assigned to: @appflowy on GitHub.

Bug Description

The login process via Google gets stuck after feeding credentials and pressing "Continue".

How to Reproduce

open appflowy (using AppImage) for the first time
press "Log in with Google"
a browser opens, I feed my credentials
I get a page saying "Sign in to AppFlowy cloud", with the text:
By continuing, Google will share your name, email address, language preference and profile picture with AppFlowy Cloud. See AppFlowy Cloud’s [privacy policy](https://appflowy.io/privacy) and [Terms of Service](https://www.appflowy.io/terms).
and the buttons "Cancel" and "Continue".
I press "Continue"
the click is registered, and the status bar briefly shows some activity. Yet nothing happens.
The AppFlowy login window is still animating, showing that the login process is in progress, but no progress is made.

Expected Behavior

expected login to complete and the app to start working

Operating System

Linux, 6.6.10-1-MANJARO

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.4.8

Screenshots

Additional Context

No response

After updating to v0.4.8 faced with the same issue - app log out after each restart and then can't log in. Similar behaviour both on mobile and desktop apps. Exactly as were mentioned:

Yes, looks like it fixed - after upgrading to 0.4.9 there is no such problem.

@micklat This is what I added and liked to the app location. The mimetype helps recognize the app. Now the app works fine.

cat /usr/share/applications/appflowy.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=AppFlowy
Icon=app_flowy.svg
Exec=/home/justkelvin/AppFlowy/AppFlowy
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/appflowy-flutter;

@justkelvin what xdg-desktop portal are you using out of curiosity ? I haven't been able to sign in on a number of different browsers even after modifying the .desktop file and adding the association to my mimeapps.list file

I'm still having this issue with version 0.56. Linux Mint. Is there a preferred browser to use?
