We are already overriding user agent

google-chat-electron/src/main/features/userAgent.ts

Line 7 in 76318c7

export const userAgentString = `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:${firefoxVersion}) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/${firefoxVersion}`

We are using Firefox user agent string here.

I have merged your commits locally, but with Firefox user agent.

But the issue still not fixed for me, i am still getting same error upon login.

Uh, the user agent I used works for me.
Confirmed on Windows 7, macOS, and Linux.

Follow these steps:

• Quit from app completely.
• Remove the cache folder of this app; for example on Linux

/home/ankur/.config/google-chat-electron

• Now launch the app, This should be first launch of the app.
• Enter your personal gmail address (not an organisation one)
• Notice you wont be able to login now.

Looks like google is also checking several other things not just User Agent. There is no easy way to spoof Google.

Ah I see the issue. I didn't full test.

I "resolved" the issue on my end though, I originally came to this thread from Hamsket:

Follow up: I weirdly got it to work now!

I first tried just reloading the tab and then restarting Hamsket a few times, which didn't help. Then I tried clearing the cache and restarting Hamsket, after which I entered the full email address (including @gmail.com, which I don't think I did before).

Not sure what precisely the magic step was, but probably the clearing the cache, restarting Hamsket, and entering the full address procedure taken together (possibly several times) is a tip worth trying.
