I’m having trouble with my OpenInviter setup and need some help. I installed version 1.8.1 and everything seems to work fine with most email providers like Yahoo, Hotmail, and others. However, Gmail is not working at all. When I try to import contacts from Gmail accounts, nothing happens or I get errors.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I’m wondering if this is a common issue with Gmail specifically or if there’s something wrong with my configuration. All other email services are importing contacts without any problems, so it’s really strange that only Gmail is failing.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be really helpful. Thanks!
I encountered similar issues with OpenInviter when trying to integrate Gmail. It appears that Gmail has updated its security protocols, which can cause compatibility problems with older versions of OpenInviter. I recommend checking the configurations in the gmail.php file to ensure that the authentication methods and SSL settings are correctly set up. Additionally, confirm that outdated IMAP settings aren’t being used, as they can disrupt the import process. If the problem persists, consider upgrading OpenInviter or switching to the official Google Contacts API for a more reliable solution.
Yeah, Gmail’s been a pain with OpenInviter lately. Hit the same issue last month - Google changed some OAuth stuff that breaks older versions. Try turning on “less secure app access” in your Gmail settings. Fixed it for me, but don’t count on it lasting since Google keeps locking things down more.
Gmail integration with OpenInviter is broken because Google tightened their security. The main issue? Google killed basic authentication and now requires OAuth 2.0, which OpenInviter 1.8.1 can’t handle. I ran into this same problem six months ago - the library just isn’t keeping up with Google’s API changes. Check if you’ve got two-factor authentication turned on too, since that’ll also mess with the connection. OpenInviter development is basically dead at this point, so you’re better off switching to Google’s People API or finding a library that’s actually maintained.
