Stuck in "Further action is required" verification loop – Cannot complete SMS to short code

Google Antigravity
1

Hello Antigravity Team,

I am stuck in the following loop when trying to use Antigravity:

“Further action is required to use Antigravity.
Please verify your account, then sign in again to continue.”

Details:

  • Personal Gmail account
  • Country version on policies.google.com/terms: United States
  • Age verification: completed
  • 2-Step Verification is enabled (Google Prompt + Authenticator)
  • Gemini web works normally with the same account
  • Browser authentication completes successfully and shows “Authentication successful” with Antigravity listed as authorized
  • After returning to the app, it always goes back to the Verify screen

When I click Verify, it shows a QR code. After scanning, it requires sending an SMS to a Google short code (244444 / 96831).
Unfortunately I am unable to successfully send this SMS (the message fails to deliver).

I have already tried:

  • Revoking all Antigravity / Gemini Code Assist / Cloud Code access from myaccount.google.com/connections
  • Reset Onboarding
  • Clearing local folders (%APPDATA%\Antigravity and %USERPROFILE%.gemini)
  • Testing with a second personal Google account (same result)
  • Clean reinstall of Antigravity

Could someone from the team please check the account and manually reset/clear the verification or entitlement flag so I can complete sign-in?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @kamus_damsaz,

Welcome to the Forum.

Could you please try the following:

  • Use "Device check" on an Android Device & Trigger Verification via Antigravity 2.0 / CLI:
    • Instead of scanning the QR code to send an SMS to 244444 / 96831, open the verification link directly on an Android phone or tablet already signed into your Google account and select “Device check” instead of SMS. Also clear any pending prompts at Google Account Security and Notifications.
    • If Antigravity IDE (v2.5.5) still loops, sign into the latest Antigravity 2.0 (v2.18.1) or Antigravity CLI (v1.2.11) (Download / Changelog), send a prompt to trigger and complete verification, then sign back into Antigravity IDE.
  • Disable VPN / Proxy & Use Incognito: Routing to US short codes (244444 / 96831) across multiple accounts usually happens when a VPN/proxy is active or your physical carrier differs from a US network/account region. Disable any VPN/proxy, verify your location is in the Geographical Availability FAQ, and sign in via a fresh Incognito window.
  • Share Diagnostic Logs: If the loop persists, please share the logs from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console and View > Output > Antigravity Language Server along with your physical country and IDE version.
