Soundcloud(com.soundcloud.android): cannot Login as Recaptcha at Email Sign-in is not showing

  • Third party app iconicon
  • /e/ version: 1.0-q
  • Device model(s): all

Summary

I thought to file https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/1654 here too and re-test, if microg Devs have a look or /e/ users search for com.google.android.gms.recaptcha.service.START. The issue came up in the forum at https://community.e.foundation/t/cant-login-in-soundcloud/38377

Affected app

  • Name: Soundcloud
  • Package id: com.soundcloud.android
  • Version: 2022.06.27-release

Describe the bug

Cannot use the Email login. The App responds with an error

Something doesn't sound right. Try signing up at Soundcloud.com

Logcats message is refering to the dummy intent

D GmsDummySvc: onBind: Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.recaptcha.service.START pkg=com.google.android.gms }
D GmsDummySvc: bound by: GetServiceRequest{serviceId=RECAPTCHA, gmsVersion=12451000, packageName='com.soundcloud.android', extras=Bundle[{}]}

That having a swift look at the code, com.google.android.gms.recaptcha.service.START is filtered by org.microg.gms.DummyService.

To Reproduce

  1. install Soundcloud
  2. choose "I already have an account"
  3. Sign-in with Email authentification (no SSO)
  4. get Error

Expected behavior

  • Sign-in succeeds

microG

  • microG Core version: 0.2.24.214816-3
  • microG Self-Check results: All ticked

Solution

com.google.android.gms.recaptcha.service.START needs to be implemented, maybe can use recaptcha code from safetynet where it is already implemented.
