Since the last update of the app I can’t connect to sites anymore. It looks like the app does not get the access token. I can see it in my user preferences, but the app still shows the “Connect” button after pressing “Authorize”.

I can use the sites without any problems within Chrome itself, so it’s just a problem with the app.

Also, notice that it now shows “Discourse - Unknown” instead of “Discourse - \<Device Name\>” when it asks for authorization.

Tested on Android 7.0 and Android 8.1 with Discourse app 1.2.0 and Chrome 63.

Probably you should alert @j.jaffeux since he just released a new Android app.

Ah, that seems to be it. I’m always adding `meta.discourse.org` which leads to the described problem. It works when I try to add `https://meta.discourse.org`.
