Google drive app & microG won't connect

[tvdjolla]

REPRODUCIBILITY: After latest google drive app update (15/12/24) always when starting the app.
OS VERSION: 4.6.0.15
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 III & Xperia 10 II
UI LANGUAGE: Dutch
REGRESSION:

DESCRIPTION:

When starting the Google drive app a login screen appears from microG. When having entered email, the window answers that the account is already registered on the device. From here, one can create another (new) account, but that is not what one needs when wanting to access one’s own account.

PRECONDITIONS:

MicroG installed on both Xperia 10II & Xperia 10III.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1)When starting the Google drive app a login screen appears from microG. When having entered email the window answers that the account is already registered on the device. From here, one can create another (new) account, but that is not what one needs when wanting to access one’s own account.

EXPECTED RESULT:

I should be able to enter my mail, password and subsequently my double auth code and be able to acces my Google drive.

ACTUAL RESULT:

I cannot get beyond the login screen of microG because the only option is to create a new account.

MODIFICATIONS:

Patchmanager installed with some patches:
-android support button
-launcher icon for android settings

In the /e/OS and microG forum other users report that with the latest update of any Google app, operation in conjunction with microG stopped working.
