Description

I have just installed the latest nightly of LineageOS, and the microG suite (via F-Droid repository) on a OnePlus3T.

However, if I try to add a Google account in settings -> accounts, the page never loads. It just has the 'Just a sec...' loading screen indefinitely.

I installed Play Store, and the same thing happens.

I have disabled AdAway, rebooted, and given microG gmscore every permission available.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the indefinite “Just a sec...” screen when adding a Google account through Settings → Accounts on the reported OnePlus3T setup, with microG GmsCore and Play Store installed. Check whether disabling AdAway and granting GmsCore permissions changes the result; done means the account page loads or the failing component and reproducible cause are identified. No files or tests are named in the issue.
