Google or Social Login Not Working in Base44 App
You have enabled Google login (or another social OAuth provider) in your Base44 app, but clicking the social login button results in an error. Users may see a Google error page, a "redirect_uri_mismatch" message, or get redirected back to the login page without being authenticated.
This issue is particularly frustrating because social login often works perfectly in the Base44 editor preview but breaks in the published version of the app. The OAuth flow requires precise URL matching that can easily go wrong between environments.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- The OAuth redirect URI configured in your Google/social provider console doesn't match the published app's URL
- Client ID or client secret was copied incorrectly or contains extra whitespace
- The OAuth consent screen has not been published or is still in testing mode with limited test users
- The app's published domain changed (e.g., custom domain added) but the OAuth provider wasn't updated
How to Fix It
Double-check the redirect URI in your OAuth provider's console (e.g., Google Cloud Console). It must exactly match the URL Base44 uses for the callback, including the protocol (https) and any path segments.
If using Google, make sure your OAuth consent screen is configured for production use, not just testing. In testing mode, only explicitly listed test users can log in.
OAuth configuration involves multiple systems and precise URL matching. If you've verified the basics and the issue persists, a developer experienced with OAuth flows can quickly identify the mismatch.

Iâve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decadeâfrom the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causesâlike significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Why does Google login fail in my published Base44 app but work in preview?
The published app uses a different URL than the editor preview. You need to add your published app's URL as an authorized redirect URI in the Google Cloud Console.
How do I fix redirect_uri_mismatch in Base44?
Go to your OAuth provider's console and add the exact callback URL your published Base44 app uses. The URL must match exactly, including https and the full path.
