Hello, I don’t know if it’s already an issue somewhere, but Google authentication won’t work. I have mailspring everywhere and never had a problem, today I tried to add a Google account to my new laptop’s mailspring, but I got an error page in the browser saying "This app is blocked - This app tried to access sensitive information from your Google account.

In 2023 they didn’t ask us to do anything, and this year there’s a new process involving some automated code scanning and review.
I’m optimistic that Gmail OAuth will be restored in early September, but their proce…
Hey folks! Thanks for your patience - it looks like we’ll be through the CASA security audit with TAC Security in the next couple days, and you should be able to add Gmail accounts again very soon. Sorry for the hassle. I’m hopeful that Google sticks with this new process for a few years now that we’ve aligned the app and documentation.
I honestly don’t know what the status is as of now. Hopefully @bengotow will update us soon.
