google disables sign-in for CEF clients since a few years ago
not really anything that can be done about it, and even if something is done about it from our end, it's probably gonna violate google TOS or smth

Is this something we can get around with a different user agent?

Is this something we can get around with a different user agent?

It is, working example:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 MCEF/2

It only works if you append the app to the end ie MCEF/2

huh
does CEF know the apps name?
also that "/2" should probably be "/2.0.1"

Not sure about how the logic works. And yeah should be 2.0.1 if we implement a fix for this in code

Should be fixed with 78503c5
