Description

Describe the bug
Normally this would not be an issue for most devices, because they're standard ROMs and not a large VR operating system. The problem in this case is with logging in. When I attempt to log in to my account with GmsCore, it refuses and throws an error like: "There was a problem connecting with Google's servers."

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. On any application, or in the GmsCore settings, find an "Add Account" button.
  2. Navigate through the menu and try to log into your Google account as you normally would.
  3. See error.

Expected behaviour
When attempting to log into your account, the process should be handled properly and you will be logged in.

System
Android Version: 12.1
Custom ROM: Meta Horizon OS

Additional context
This issue is to be expected, considering the strange use case. I am trying to log in to YouTube ReVanced. The issue is present on ReVanced's fork, and this version of the GmsCore.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Add Account flow in GmsCore settings or another application on Android 12.1 running Meta Horizon OS on Quest 2, then inspect the authentication path reached by that flow. Done means Google account login completes without the reported server-connection error on this platform.
