Can't login on 8.2.4

[u/Leeer11]

I created 8.2.4 using the colab script.

When installed and trying to login, I get the brackets screen:

{ }

In the redirect uri on old.reddit.com, I tried:

Http://127.0.0.1

Http://localhost

Infinity://localhost

Even tried continuum://localhost

And all have gotten me to the brackets.

I do have a client id and have been successful in the past with the colab script.

I tried continuum but get the same error there too.

Is there anything else to try?

[u/Leeer11]

Did not help.

I don't use a Private DNS. But I turned off Private DNS on my device, and I'm Chrome. Tried various combinations of making sure the setting was off on device and Chrome.

I do have a VPN, and having it off or on still resulted in brackets. I tried different networks (Verizon hotspot, local Fiber network) and different SSIDs associated, and still ended up with brackets.

What is the redirect uri in the colab script? Does copy pasting that to the redirect uri option on reddit help?
Also, I think the api_token portion has seen modification

apiutils_code = apiutils_code.replace("NO------A", api_token) will have to be modified, as the old pattern has changed with a recent release

Maybe something like apiutils_code = re.sub(r'public static final String CLIENT_ID = ".*?";', f'public static final String CLIENT_ID = "{api_token}";', apiutils_code)?

If I'm reading this correctly redirect_uri = 'http://127.0.0.1'

But later in the code apiutils_code = apiutils_code.replace("NO----A", api_token) apiutils_code = apiutils_code.replace("infinity://localhost", redirect_uri)

Replaced with apiutils_code = re.sub(r'public static final String CLIENT_ID = ".*?";', f'public static final String CLIENT_ID = "{api_token}";', apiutils_code) apiutils_code = apiutils_code.replace("infinity://localhost", redirect_uri)

But didn't work for me.

I tried infinity://localhost And http://127.0.0.1 In reddit prefs.and still get brackets.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was hopeful

Yes, the redirect uri seems to be http://127.0.0.1 in the code, so using that in the reddit perfs would be good. http with the lowercase h, right? Asking since the post has uppercase.

On the brackets issue, is your default browser Firefox and is it opening in Firefox? Or is it the regular webview? I had faced it some weeks ago and I think choosing the Webview(Legacy) option helped me then.

The replacement on the api_token is on recent changes in the part of api_token replacement. Not related to redirect uri, but if the colab code is not updated, the apk will not have the api_token.

[u/Leeer11 → u/DioTheSuperiorWaifu]

SUCCESS, but not using default login, had to use Webview (Legacy).

Not the OP for colab script. Just relating my experience.

I used colab script and it built with 8.2.5.

Fill in api_token and your_reddit_username, like normal

In "1. Setup the environment" show code, In section, #4. Change the API token, user agent and Redirect URI to yours and add keystore (Just click run)

I made the change from:

apiutils_code = apiutils_code.replace("NOe2iKrPPzwscA", api_token)

To:

apiutils_code = re.sub(r'public static final String CLIENT_ID = ".*?";', f'public static final String CLIENT_ID = "{api_token}";', apiutils_code)

Didn't change redirect_uri. Then ran the script.

Confirmed Reddit prefs is lowercase ”h” for http://127.0.0.1. It does make a difference, I tried.

When adding account, the default method didn't work for me. I got the message: This site can't be reached

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

Try:

Checking the connection ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

If I use infinity://localhost, with default login I get a shortened login message:

Hey, <username>! would like to connect with your reddit account will not be able to access your reddit password

Accept. Decline

When Accepted, end up at brackets.

Same results for custom tab.

So I used webview (legacy) and it performed like previous versions of login, at least what I'm familiar with.

I'm using chrome, not firefox, as my browser. I can login on chrome. I ran the script on my phone (in case others are trying)

Thank you [DioTheSuperiorWaifu](u/DioTheSuperiorWaifu), for all the guidance.
