Desktop HTML Viewer and Google Map app

General

I’m building an app for a friend. Its goal is to simplify a process that involved going to two websites.

The first part works fine on both Mac and Windows. The second part requires using the Google Maps site.

This works fine on the Mac, but on Windows I get the following:

Couldn’t sign you in
This browser or app may not be secure. Learn more
Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in.

Anyone have any clues?

any clues?

i remember google maps need https connection to secure location data from user.

to use google maps in a app you need valid api key and settings with credit card at google developer account.

i guess if you call google maps in xojo html viewer it send other user agent in http header.

do you really need google maps? maybe is openstreetmap an option for you.

You may need to put in a custom user agent to pretend you are an actual browser.
