Signin redirect does not work

[sdahdah]

Problem:
Cannot sign in to Slack because the browser sign-in redirect does not work.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install com.slack.Slack from Flathub
2. Launch application and click "Sign In"
3. Sign in through web browser
4. Click "Open with xdg-open" when prompted by browser
5. Slack app opens, but the screen is still stuck on the original "Sign In" screen
6. I can click "Sign In" again, and it re-opens the browser etc...

Workaround:
Downgrade to commit 810ae703189dd439c5a7059accf33af495d415e2d46545a3bfcccf445ab7c092

Seems the regression is in commit 892db0196ca1971b772f37df2bf4dad021e5579486454069808be7fabdbdd393 but I don't know what it is yet.

Should be fixed in newest commit.

Seems that the problem is there again.
For me it's currently not possible adding a workspace to the slack App. It only works in Browsers

@AmineKh14 @syerad

Works for me. What version do you have installed? What browser? What exactly doesn't work?

Also having the issue and i used 3 different builds of the App:

• latest flatpak
• latest build from slack-desktop and slack-electron on the AUR

Tried with Brave & Chrome, i can login on the browser but the redirect to the App is not working

Same as @DoppleDankster mentioned.
I've tried all available builds (AUR,Flatpak and Snap).
With Chrome it is not working but I found out that in Firefox it is working...

I am having the same problem.
Any solutions yet ?

It still doesn't work. I have presently the newest version that snap can retrieve. I am signed in in the browser (Brave, Chrome clone) and viewing the slack workspace there, and when I select the "Open the Slack App", the Slack app opens through xdg-open, and... requests me to sign in. If I click this button, it redirects me to the browser where I am already signed in, so it asks me to open the Slack app ... and so round-robin.

@ethouris
This is not for the snap version.

Is anyone experiencing this on only the flatpak version? If not, I will close this as an upstream issue.

[Saijin-Naib]

Currently experiencing this on the flatpak version only, yes.

[YoavNordmann]

I am experiencing this on the flatpak version.
Using Firefox works, but Brave doesn't.

I am experiencing this issue too. Looks like a regression.
