I see, thanks for reporting. It seems like there's no new Pixelfed version release with the fix for this yet. The latest release was v0.11.13 (March 5) and the fix was added on March 18. This probably means that pixelfed.social (the instance I'm testing on) is running on the latest changes instead of stable releases.

CORS issue (Cross-Origin Request error) is something that client-side web apps can't fix, so will need to wait for a new Pixelfed release for pixelfed.fr to upgrade to, then the login should work.

Sorry for prematurely announcing Pixelfed support on Phanpy 🙇‍♂️

Don't be sorry. 🙏 I wouldn't have thought that Pixelfed.social was not running on stable either. They seem to like risk. ☺️

Thanks for your work on this excellent client!

I can now report that I was able to add my pixelfed.fr account in Phanpy! Congrats and thanks for the good software!
