Description
I have installed microG core and Services Framework.
I try to sign into Google Photos using my account.
I get a dialog saying "No connection. Couldn't connect to the server"
The logcat output looks something like this:
03-29 13:36:27.169 W/AccountManagerService( 1877): caller uid 10187 is different than the authenticator's uid
03-29 13:36:27.179 E/HttpOperation(15890): [getphotossettings] Unexpected exception
