Antigravity v2.0.0 account setup fails after Google OAuth: Code Assist backend 500/502 and daily-cloudcode timeout

Hi Antigravity team,

I’m unable to finish signing in to Google Antigravity. The app launches correctly, opens the local Antigravity UI, and the Google sign-in flow starts, but account setup fails with:

There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. failed to make code assist backend request

Environment

OS: Windows Antigravity version: 2.0.0 Install type: user-local Windows install Launch command: antigravity . Workspace: local project folder

What I tried

  • Reinstalled Antigravity.
  • Confirmed Antigravity.exe launches correctly.
  • Reset local Antigravity state by moving these folders aside:
    • %APPDATA%\Antigravity
    • %USERPROFILE%.gemini\antigravity
    • %USERPROFILE%.gemini\antigravity-browser-profile
    • %USERPROFILE%.gemini\antigravity-ide
  • Relaunched Antigravity with a clean profile.
  • Tried signing in again.

Basic network reachability to these domains works; HEAD requests return normal 404, not DNS/TLS failure:

  • https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com
  • https://daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com
  • https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com

Expected behavior

After Google OAuth, Antigravity should finish onboarding the account and load available models.

Actual behavior

The account setup screen fails with:

There was an unexpected issue setting up your account. failed to make code assist backend request

Relevant logs

From %APPDATA%\Antigravity\logs\main.log:

Starting app (v2.0.0) with dynamic port… Spawning: [Antigravity install dir]\resources\bin\language_server.exe --standalone --override_ide_name antigravity --subclient_type hub --override_ide_version 2.0.0 --override_user_agent_name antigravity --https_server_port 0 --app_data_dir antigravity --api_server_url https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com --cloud_code_endpoint https://daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com --enable_sidecars

Update for version 2.0.0 is not available (latest version: 2.0.0)

From %APPDATA%\Antigravity\logs\language_server.log:

URL: https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:loadCodeAssist

Failed to make code assist backend request (onboardUser): { “error”: { “message”: “Internal error encountered.” } }

Failed to make code assist backend request (onboardUser):

Error: Post “https://daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:loadCodeAssist”: context deadline exceeded

This still happens after a clean local profile reset, so it looks like either a backend issue, account eligibility/onboarding issue, or something specific to the Code Assist backend endpoint.

Could someone from the team check whether this account onboarding is failing server-side, or whether there is a known issue with daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com for Antigravity v2.0.0?

Thanks.

me too blud , lets give an hour or two i think it might work

Same issue. for IDE and Antigravity both.

I, too, have shed tears many times during the implementation of Google’s authentication features at crucial moments! To everyone at Google, please continue your amazing work!:yellow_heart:

I’m having the same issue, but interestingly, signing in with my workspace business account works (although it turned each of my previous chats with agents into their own project folders.

I’m having similar problems, and all the conversations seem to be about the project. The application isn’t working properly.

Exactly Same issue with 2 different computers and Pro Accounts

i am also facing the Same issue. Auth succeeds in browser but app shows failed to make code assist backend request. Tried reinstalling, clearing all app data, nothing works. Please fix.

After attempting to install the Antigravity 2.0 update, I am stuck in an account setup loop. The application consistently displays an “Unexpected issue setting up your account” error message, specifically citing: “failed to make code assist backend request.” I have attempted to restart the application, but the issue persists, preventing me from accessing any models or functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Initiate the installation/setup process for the Antigravity 2.0 update.

  2. Upon launch, the account authentication/provisioning flow begins.

  3. The interface displays the “Unexpected issue setting up your account” screen.

  4. The error “failed to make code assist backend request” appears.

  5. Attempting to “Continue” or re-authenticate does not resolve the state.

Yeah same issue. I cleared cache, changed browser, reinstalled antigravity. It seems is a google issue right?

Yo guys, try connecting via ‘Google Cloud Project’. Right after you log in and it prompts you to create a project, just cancel it and use the DEFAULT login button. It works

My workaround was to clear the chrome cache for “gemini apps,” close the browser and make sure it’s not resident in memory, then try again.

This worked for me, but you know the usual caveats apply: YMMV

when do I cancel?, I tried and nothing happened

Right after it prompts you to create/open your cloud project

You are great!
I was able to log in using that method.:revolving_hearts:

You’re not actually in the IDE… They separated the apps
You must run Antigravity IDE app

That worked for me too! Although it didn’t ask me to create a new project thankfully. Probably because I already have several of them.

i am not a developer or coder i am video editor who loves to vibe code and try to automate things using this tool so can you navigate me what should i do how they seprated it ??

Install the previous version.

They actually split it into two separate apps now:

Antigravity IDE.exe is the full developer version.
Antigravity.exe is the “full vibe coding” version—it has no terminal, raw code, or clutter, so that’s probably the one you want to use :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
