I can login to the site but when I try to login to the plugin I get this message popping up and disappearing soon after:
Then im still logged out. Any idea?
When login through the plugin the browser should pop up where you need to confirm the login on openstreetmap.org. (i think this process is called OAuth)
You can then check if this is succesfull on https://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth2/authorized_applications
You should see OsmAnd there and how many days the login procedure was performed.
If this is succesfull, then its a problem with OsmAnd. If you have another old Android you can maybe try around several times with reinstallation?
Hmmm I went to the page and it seems I need to manually register the app to be able to make api calls. Would I be wrong in assuming the redirect uri needs to be the one I got in the error message popup when trying to sign in through the app?
Edit: seems it doesnt work. I registered an app in openstreetmaps.org with that and nothing changes.
No, there is no need to manually register an app. This is the feature when develope a new app by yourself to make it known to openstreetmap.org
not sure. If you don't have another phone to test, maybe you can try testing the login with another openstreetmap app like StreetComplete, Vespucci or Organic Maps?
I just downloaded streetcomplete and the login works there. It might be a good idea to file an issue on the github for osmand at this point. Thanks for all your help! :)
