Description
I upgraded RedReader v1.21.1 on f-droid yesterday and the app prompted re-authentication, so I tried re-login but re-auth process stalled without redirecting to the app after login from the internal web browser.
I found related discussions on /r/redreader subreddit [1], [2] and the issue tracker. @QuantumBadger said the issue was fixed in those threads, but it still affects me.
Deleting cache and reinstalling RedReader and revoking the app permission on my reddit preference don't work. Any suggestions? I'm using Android 7.1.2.
