Error on login webview

[Ilario17]

The problem seems gone without the need for changes :)

[amanolar94]

@superandrew213 seems promising. I can't test it at the moment. I will let you know when I have an update!

[hungdev]

check your redirect URIs in your code and https://instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/, tab Security. If it still errors, you can remove app and rerun again.

[superandrew213]

@amanolar94 are you located in a European country?

@hungdev I think this issue happens for European users and is being caused the GDPR updates that Instagram had to make on their website.

Maybe they are trying to notify European users that they are using cookies on their website. They probably didn't test these changes on their login form.

[amanolar94]

I also think it's because of that. I used VPN to connect outside Europe and everything was working fine

[superandrew213]

@amanolar94 can you try to login in on your Instagram app?

Would love to know if this issue is with this login form only or with the Instagram app too. I'm pretty sure Instagram is using a WebView for their login form on their app too.

I'm in Australia and it's working fine for me.

[amanolar94]

@superandrew213 Instagram connects normally. I think something is wrong with Instagram though since we have both Android and Instagram app and they both broke the same time

[superandrew213]

Thanks for testing. I think there could be a way we could fix this.

Can you try going to this link on your browser, try to login and let me know what happens. Do you get any accept cookies pop, etc?

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?force_classic_login=&client_id=XXXXXX&next=/oauth/authorize/?client_id=XXXXXX&redirect_uri=XXXXXX&response_type=code

Please replace XXXXXX with your client_id and redirect_uri.

If it works, make sure to logout and, then try to go to this link (replace XXXXXX with your values again) and try to login again.

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?client_id=XXXXXX&next=/oauth/authorize/?client_id=XXXXXX&redirect_uri=XXXXXX&response_type=code

By removing force_classic_login from the url params we can use the new Instagram form to login.

[amanolar94]

@superandrew213 OK i tried both but I seem to get the following error: {"error_type": "OAuthException", "code": 400, "error_message": "You must include a valid client_id, response_type, and redirect_uri parameters"} I noticed though that the url on the browses is the following: https://www.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXX which i guess means for some reason the parameters don't pass after the redirect from the login

[superandrew213]

@amanolar94 you have to replace the XXXXX in the url with your values.

Are you still getting the login issue when you try to login with Instagram on your app? I think Instagram might have fixed it.

[amanolar94]

@superandrew213 No they have not fixed it yet. I have replaced the XXXs with the values but for some reason after the login the parameters don not pass along with the client id.

[Ilario17]

@superandrew213 I've the same issue and your first link return me the same error message.

[amanolar94]

@Ilario17 are you also located in Europe?

[Ilario17]

@amanolar94 Yes, wait Instagram is the only solution?

[amanolar94]

@Ilario17 It's not the only but we had it as a signup method and it does not seem to work

[superandrew213]

Ok. Let's try this link:

https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=XXXXX&redirect_uri=XXXXX&response_type=token

Please don't forget to replace XXXXX with your values. Once you go to this link you will be redirected to this url:

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?force_classic_login=&client_id=...

Try to login and let me know what happens here. Do you get some sort of error, cookie pop up and also check console output.

I tested using a VPN to make requests from France, Germany and UK but didn't encounter any issues. Tested both through browser and iPhone simulator. But I can confirm that EU users are still having this issue.

[superandrew213]

@amanolar94 and @Ilario17 did you guys have a chance to do the test above?

[Ilario17]

Hi,

when I login from Simulator with the first link, I encounter the same issue:

[superandrew213]

@Ilario17 thanks! Can you please try it on the browser too.

[Ilario17]

@superandrew213 I tested it in Safari inside Simulator

[superandrew213]

@Ilario17 please try one last thing. Go to the login link above but don’t login. After the login form loads, go to the URL and remove this part force_classic_login=& and then press enter and try to login.

[Ilario17]

Hi @superandrew213 there isn't force_classic_login . When I try with both links, the redirect happens on this link:

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/oauth/authorize/%3Fclient_id%3myclientID%26redirect_uri%3Dmycallback%26response_type%3Dtoken

[superandrew213]

@Ilario17 interesting! That's not the form I get. They must be redirecting some users to this new form. I am getting the old form.

Please try adding force_classic_login=& to the url of the new form you are getting. Like this:

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?force_classic_login=&client_id=...
