The "Google hasn't verified this app" warning

Why you see it, why it's expected, and why our Meta authorization doesn't make it disappear.

§V · Connecting Gmail

When you tap "Connect Gmail," Google shows a warning — "Google hasn't verified this app." This surprises members who've already seen our verified Meta authorization. The two are unrelated.

Why the warning shows

Google's app-verification process is its own program, separate from Meta's. Google reviews apps that request access to user Gmail data; the review process is comprehensive and takes several months. We've submitted; verification is pending.

Why it's still safe to proceed

  • The OAuth flow is Google's official one — we never see your password
  • The scopes we request are documented and minimal (gmail.send, gmail.readonly)
  • You can revoke access at any time from your Google account
  • Our Meta authorization is unrelated; Google verification is independent

How to proceed past the warning

  1. 01On the warning screen, tap "Advanced"
  2. 02Tap "Go to thenexusclub.org (unsafe)" — Google's wording, not ours
  3. 03Approve the named scopes on the next screen
  4. 04Done — you're back on your dashboard
