faulty "App wants additional access to your Google Account" prompt

[vonovak]

Describe the bug
Upon repeated sign in, the SDK shows a prompt that reads "App wants additional access to your Google Account" even though no extra access is being requested. This is highly confusing for users.

Issue is reproducible in the sample app.

Expected behavior

I don't expect to see the "App wants additional access to your Google Account" because I'm not asking for extra access.

Screenshots

Environment

• Device: iphone 17.4 simulator

Yes, this is a big deal and a regression compared to months ago where it unnecessarily scares users into thinking something funny/risky is going on. +1 for this being an important fix!

Thanks for the issue. We are investigating. I will update here as I learn more.

It's clear at this point that there's an issue, and people are looking into it. Let's please not spam the issue and wait for actual updates.
Thank you

Hi @mdmathias thanks for looking into this. It's been over 2 weeks now - do you have any updates to share?

Same here when using SwfitUI. Any updates?

[mdmathias]

Hi all. Sorry for the delay in responding. There are some moving pieces in the background that make this a little complicated. The video in the original issue above isn't playing for me any longer; so, I can't be quite sure what we were seeing there.

Nonetheless, if no new scopes are being requested, we shouldn't see "App wants additional access to your Google Account" any longer.

I've verified this in a sample app. I'll keep this open for a bit for y'all to let me know if you're seeing that too.

👋 thanks for response, does this video link work?

[mdmathias]

Sadly no: "This private-user-images.githubusercontent.com page can’t be found"

hello @mdmathias,
Just flagging that it's been a while since the issue was opened, and it would be nice to get an update on this :)

Thank you!
