Gmail and Google Plus webapps not working in webbrowser-app

[valmar]

I followed the guidelines give in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libunity-webapps/+bug/1036726, and I am trying to use webapps with a webbrowser-app wrapper

I tried in two apps: Gmail and Google Plus. When I open the Gmail webapp, the webbrowser app comes up with the gmail login screen. When I try to login, by entering login name and password, a tab *in my main broswer* opens, asking again for the password. If I type it, I log in to Gmail *in my broswer*. Nothing happens in the webbrowser app.

With Google Plus, I just get a blank screen in the webbrowser app.

I am currently on Saucy, with all updates installed

PS: I really like this idea of running webapps in the webbrowser-app, and I hope to make it work.

Some additional info. This is what you see when you start the googleplus webapp in a terminal:

/.local/share/applications$ unity-webapps-runner -n 'R29vZ2xlKwA=' -d 'plus.google.com' %u

Hi,

It seems I have similar issues. I set up my Google account in Online Accounts long ago and I didn't have any problem. I tried the GMail web app about 2-3 weeks ago on Ubuntu 14.10 (not much before it has officially released) and it didn't work, I got a Web browser app with a blank, white page. Then I tried the Google+, YouTube and Amazon apps as well. Amazon worked fine, it was loaded into a webbrowser-app window properly but the other (Google-related) apps were blank.
Screenshot attached.

Cheers,
Zsolt
