@Darren_Murphy I am currently making a Glide App in the US. I originally intended it for my US colleagues, but am currently trying to use it for my colleagues in China too.
My app is setup to limit access via email. I am not using âAllow sign in via a Google accountâ.
They are unable to login. It doesnât appear to be an issue of getting access to the Glide App servers, but rather the email access feature isnât working. I donât want to make my app public - it is intended to be used for internal purposes only.
According to my contact, this translates to, âthis email account canât use this APPâ.
Any help or insight on this issue would be appreciated!
Okay. Iâm not sure what else I can suggest.
An interesting test might be to create another very simple app, and make it public with email, and then ask them to test that. That would at least rule out the possibility that itâs anything to do with your app thatâs preventing the sign in.
Another thing that might be worth a try would be to register a domain in China (youâll need somebody in China to do this for you), and then use that as a custom domain for your app. No guarantee that would work, but could be worth a try. If that did work, then youâd probably end up needing two separate versions of your app - one for China, and one for the rest of the world. But you could have both apps using the same tables/sheets at the back end.
@Darren_Murphy my contact in China got back to me after I made a few trial apps. He gets the same error with all the different sign-in options. Looks like the functionality is blocked completely due to IP address of the server?
mmm, I think thatâs a reasonable conclusion to make.
Are you intending to try the custom domain option?
I guess another thing that might be worth a try is to work with a CDN provider such as Cloudflare (there are many more). It depends how much trouble you want to go to, and how much time and money youâre willing to invest to find a solution.
A last resort option would probably be VPN, but thatâs almost certainly illegal and would be very risky, especially if youâre operating a business in China.
Other bug. If I use one of main Styles (not Details style), for example Tiles, and click+ctrl (so in select mode) on Tiles it anyway goes to open details. But I expect to open inline list options.
