I downloaded the SN app and am trying to log into it, but when I "Request magic link" via my email, the email I receive only lets me open my account via mobile browser (even if I have the SN app open & active) [...]

Hello, @benwehrman!

I just found this post and by reading [Problem #2] it seems you are using the unofficial Stacker News client for Android that I developed. For now, it's just an alternative client I've been working on my spare time but development has slowed down recently. I'll keep fixing bugs and adding features but I do not recommend it for new users unless you are ok dealing with bugs (and reporting them too if you have the time! That would be much appreciated :).

But first I need to be able to log in 🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Okay, then! Now you are officially part of the alpha team, @benwehrman!

I created a new issue about this problem. Do you have an account on Github? Can you provide more details (like android version, device, etc) there, please?

Just if you want to create issues.

I'm implementing a workaround to allow people with devices on Android 12+ to login by pasting the magic link and clicking a button. It's not ideal but it should work for now.

I'm also working on a much better way of signing in by reading a qrcode but it's going to take awhile to implement.

Awesome, LMK when the magic link field is ready to roll. Excited to be a test dummy!

Just published it on Google Play. It's still being processed and should be available in a couple hours.

I also publish the APKs on GitHub. You can install it a package manager for Android like AppManager or equivalent

I just edited the app's page on Google Play to add unofficial to the title to avoid confusion. I should have done it sooner.

The change is still being processed by Google. It might available in a couple hours.
