Hi Antigravity Support Team, I’m experiencing a persistent authentication error on the Antigravity desktop app (Windows 11) and need assistance. \*\*Issue:\*\* After completing Google OAuth login in the browser (which succeeds), the app displays: “There was an unexpected issue setting up your account.” \*\*What I’ve already investigated:\*\* - Google account permissions: Antigravity is listed and authorized at [myaccount.google.com/permissions](http://myaccount.google.com/permissions) (access granted on February 6th) - App data reset: Cleared globalStorage (storage.json, state.vscdb) and restarted - Alternative launch: Tested with --password-store=basic flag, same result - Log analysis: The Antigravity.log shows the following critical errors immediately after startup: E0223 14:07:03 Failed to get OAuth token: key not found W0223 14:07:03 failed to set auth token W0223 14:07:04 Cache(userInfo): Singleflight refresh failed: key not found W0223 14:07:04 Cache(loadCodeAssistResponse): Singleflight refresh failed: key not found The language server starts successfully but fails to retrieve the OAuth token from storage, suggesting the token is never persisted after the browser auth flow completes. \*\*Environment:\*\* - OS: Windows 11 - Antigravity version: installed at C:\Users\Paulo\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity - Account type: Personal Google account with Google AI Pro subscription Could you please advise on how to resolve this? Is there a known issue with token persistence on Windows, or does my account require additional provisioning on your end?

Hi @Paulovbb ,

Welcome to the Forum!  
Thank you for flagging the issue.  
This is a common issue where the browser login is succeeding, but the redirect back to the Antigravity desktop app is failing.  
Please try the below steps:

- Fully quit Antigravity and reopen it.
- Disable VPN temporarily.
- Set Chrome as default browser and retry.

Let us know if still the issue persists.
