Antigravity App Sign-in Fails: Checking Your Google Workspace Account Settings
Antigravity App Sign-in Woes: Is Your Google Account the Culprit?
Users attempting to sign into the Antigravity desktop app on Windows are encountering a persistent and frustrating error: “There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. Please try again later.” This issue, reported across both Google Workspace and personal Gmail accounts, has left many unable to access the application.
Initial Suspicions: Google Workspace Account Eligibility
Initially, discussions in the Google support forum pointed towards potential limitations with Google Workspace accounts. It was suggested that Antigravity might have limited support for these accounts, with success often tied to whether a Workspace administrator has enabled specific features like “Gemini Code Assist.” For Workspace users facing this error, a crucial first step is to verify their organizational settings. Administrators can check these configurations by navigating to the Google Admin console, which can be accessed via the url https workspace google com dashboard or the legacy g suite google com dashboard. Ensuring that third-party app access and relevant AI features are properly configured is essential for seamless integration.
The Problem Extends Beyond Workspace Accounts
However, further replies in the thread quickly revealed that the issue is not confined to Google Workspace users. Numerous individuals reported experiencing the identical “unexpected issue” error even when attempting to sign in with personal @gmail.com accounts, including those designated as “pro” accounts. This indicates a broader problem, suggesting that the root cause might lie beyond individual account eligibility or Workspace-specific settings.
Troubleshooting Steps Attempted by Users
Frustrated users have diligently tried a range of common troubleshooting steps, none of which have proven successful:
- Turning off VPN/proxy services.
- Using incognito or new browser profiles for sign-in.
- Disabling adblockers and privacy extensions.
- Clearing browser cookies and site data.
- Changing the default browser (e.g., Chrome to Edge).
- Not running the Antigravity app as an Administrator.
- Restarting the system and reinstalling the application.
The persistence of the error across these varied attempts, and over periods spanning multiple days and even weeks, suggests a more systemic issue.
Unanswered Questions and Community Call for Resolution
The community is still seeking clarity on several fronts:
- Is this a known backend onboarding outage affecting Antigravity’s services?
- Are there region-based restrictions contributing to the problem?
- Is there a specific known issue with Windows OAuth callbacks that could be causing the sign-in failure?
Without official confirmation from Antigravity support, users are left in limbo. The consistent nature of the “unexpected issue” message, regardless of account type or extensive troubleshooting, points to an underlying service-level problem rather than a user-specific configuration error. Users are encouraged to monitor official Antigravity channels for updates and consider reaching out to their support directly, providing detailed steps and any logs available.
