Garmin connect app

Upwind3

Hey all,
I can't seen to get my Garmin connect app working,
It seems to get a SSL error connecting to GoDaddy,
I've tried switching networks and switching DNS but I can't seem to solve the issues
The error is:

Connection Error
primary error: 3 certificate: Issued to: CN=static.garmincdn.com;
Issued by: CN=Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2, OU=http://certs.godaddy.com/repository/, O=GoDaddy.com, Inc., L=Scottsdale, ST=Arizona, C=US;

I don't know what's going on with your connection error, but I have Garmin Connect on one of my GOS devices - running in it's own profile that has GmsCompatConfig installed and it works fine.

It's loaded from sandboxed Google Play owner profile and transferred over.

I got the log file and stuck it in chatgpt, this is what is spat out:

From the provided logcat output, it seems the issue stems from Android's SELinux policy enforcement, which denies specific access permissions for the Garmin Connect Mobile app (com.garmin.android.apps.connectmobile). The log repeatedly mentions avc: denied errors, which indicate that the app is trying to access restricted files or resources that the Android OS is blocking.

Key Issues Noticed:

Permission Denials:

The app is being denied access to various properties, such as userdebug_or_eng_prop, odsign_prop, and build_attestation_prop.

This might indicate that the app is trying to access debug-specific properties or files that are unavailable or restricted on your device's SELinux configuration.

Untrusted App Context:

The app is running with the untrusted_app context. If you are using a custom ROM like GrapheneOS, enhanced security measures may block some behaviors that Garmin Connect Mobile relies on.

App Behavior:

It seems the app is unable to proceed with authentication, as the AuthenticationActivity does not complete its intended function

This seems odd considering yourself and other users seem to have to issue with the app :/

Ok it seems to work on a separate profile but not on my default owner one, I don't understand why:/

Upwind3 Works just fine for me in owner profile, with VPN on and exploit compatibility is toggled off. Are you using the same network settings and permissions in each profile?

OK so where did you get the app from? PlayStore or Aurora? If Aurora, maybe see if you can do your own burner PlayStore account and get it from there. It can take a couple attempts to get it done without a phone number sometimes.
Did you set it up with Storage Scopes?
What's the state of Exploit Protections in App Info? Are you on defaults? You could try flipping toggles there.

It might just also be a weird bug. Could delete the app, reboot your device and load it up again.

Upwind3

Exhort14 yes same network

Upwind3

c86 turned exploit protection off and same issue, also tried deleting, reinstalling rebooting etc, also tried installing from play store and Aurora

Upwind3

I've tried everything in the app info tab

Upwind3 In continuationto what @Exhort14 wrote, have you enabled "Open external links in incognito" in your vanadium settings > Privacy and Security on your main profile? This setting can sometime prevent some apps that require webview for sing-in from working probably.

Exhort14

Since CDNs are commonly ad blocked, I was wondering about your network setup (DNS was my first my guess, but you already tried it). Could it be your browser? I don't recall if webview is required for login. Perhaps set Vanadium as your default browser and try again?

Upwind3

So I tried it with vanadium, still didn't work, I never really use vanadium, normally use Firefox

Upwind3 Did you check whether "Open external links in incognito" was enabled in Vanadium.
