Status of MitID app
When I tried to login with MitID ,after clicking open the app I was not prompted with insert the password and no qr code.
Thanks, i was thinking it was an app issue too since there were a lot of negative reviews the past week with the exact same issue that I had. Pretty insane that this is the case tho...
lbschenkel do you know if it started working again?
donovxn The message from mitid.dk
has disappeared and I was able to log-in, so... yes? Didn't you try yourself?
My MitID app doesn't work on my main profile (no GSF and SPS installed). When I try to sign-in with MitID from my PC and open my MitID app on my phone it never receives the request to authenticate the session. It just stays on the "Ready to use" screen for about one minute and then crashes.
Does anyone have any ideas to thinks i coul'd / shoul'd try.
MitID is installed with the following settings:
Allowed permissions:
- Camera
- Network
- Notifications
- Sensors
Not Allowed:
- Phone
Other settings:
Alarms & reminders: Not allowed
Exploit protection compatibility mode: Enabled
Hardened memmory allocator: Disabled
Native Code debugging: Allowed
Phone: Pixel 7
GOS version: 2024012600
MitID version: 3.2.3
And there's a new version of MitID in the Play Store: 3.3.1. Do we have any volunteers that are willing to risk their installation and upgrade to this version? Please report your findings.

lbschenkel I just updated to 3.3.1 and hence my post above yours, I still hare trouble getting MitID to work in my main profile without Google Play.
In my second profile with google play services, MitID version 3.3.1 works.
Vanadium: 122.0.6261.43.0
GOS: 2024020500
Update: Actually it seems that 3.3.1 partially solves my problem in my non-GSF profile. Now I can at least approve login requests made from another device. Still no luck with login requests made from vanadium though.
I upgraded mine to 3.3.1 and I can confirm that authentication is working when using either Vanadium or Firefox.
Updated gist.

trilogy6202 I never attempted to use MitID without Play Services, so I can't really help. Another user did try and it looked like Play Services was only needed for activation, and not authentication, but it's also possible that things have changed since then or there will be bugs due to being an unsupported/untested configuration (from MitID perspective).
lbschenkel This is still true. I installed GPS to make MitID work, then after signup, I uninstalled GPS and the app works for authentication. Last time i updated the app though, with GPS installed, it broke the app.
So my conclusion from tests are that GPS is needed for initial launch/after update - but not in general use
The jump from web to app though does only work sometimes, which is why it makes sense to set method to numbers instead of QR code
Hope this helps
@lbschenkel I don't need to use this app but I just have to say big thanks for putting in this amount of commitment to solving this problem.
lbschenkel To tell the truth my MitID app hadn't been working for months (I would get an error saying "Bad connection to MitID").
Fortunately I had followed your suggestion of getting a code viewer long before this happened.
But Duckduck 's advice of temporarily reinstalling GPS after updating the app has restored it to life. Thank you very much!
It does however seem that now (unlike what was the case when I posted my previous comment) the Google apps need network permission when you first open MitID after installing/updating. As soon as MitID is in a working state the Google apps can be uninstalled / have their permissions revoked (like Duckduck said).
A new version of MitID is out: 3.3.5. Is there anyone who wants to be the guinea pig and try it and then share the results here?
lbschenkel Sure. Will be back with the results.
Well, the app definitely launches.
lbschenkel tried to login with MitID
Works

I can confirm the findings by others. GPS needs to have Network Permission while setting up the MitId-app, but GPS does not need Network Permission after initial setup**.
** Scanning QR-codes to authenticate on another device, e.g. desktop or laptop, works without Network Permission to GPS. Swiping to authenticate on the same device the MitId-app is installed on (phone with GOS in this case) only works for me when GPS have Network Permission. Without Network Permission for GPS I'm offered to scan a QR-code (which I can not do on the phone's screen, with the phones camera ...). The swiping issue might the issue mentioned by lbschenkel

lbschenkel Hi again, after a while. I have now all my apps running on my GOS phone and only MitID to go. I have received the (made in China :( ) code dongle. And will activate that in the next 48 hrs, as they have a 24 hr cooldown on adding/changing the MitID device options. But, during my trip through the website, I noticed that it is apparently now possible to have MitID active on 3 different devices. (they write the option of own phone, tablet and your workphone. I seems to be just a matter of applying now on their website and 'add' an extra phone. So my plan is to activate my code dongle (As a back up device), test that for a bit. Then I will attempt to apply for adding the MitID app on my GOS phone. I will post my results here in this thread, as I go along.
