Joined, still, This account already exists on your device

@gz83 Since thorium uses official api keys now, adding oneself to that testaccount group is no longer necessary.

I have not tried sync on the android builds, I will test for myself.

If it still doesn't work, then I can try to debug with ADB, to get the cmdline output of thorium as it's running.

Noticed the same thing, it doesn't check the accounts on the phone, it just tries to add account

I can confirm the same issue on the latest build.

Is there a possibility that this is a limitation of the Google Services Framework, which may not allow authorization of package names/signatures outside of the whitelist

Once this issue is fixed, the only feature it lacks in android is extension support or advanced adblocking settings

@barnir @People-11 @carissimopaul Yep, it is because of what @People-11 said. It is not something I can fix from my end without paying Google out the whazoo for a whitelist. However, I am still including the API Keys for Sync because without them google location services doesn't work. I will make a note on the next release linking to this issue, to let users know that it will not work.
