Hi everyone
I just upgraded to a new iPhone and have run into a brick wall trying to set up my Gmail account. All my other Google account elements (YouTube, my Google account, etc.) are set up just fine but not my Gmail account.
The problem seems to lie with their 2 factor authentication.
I get the prompt on my iPad to confirm that it's me trying to sign in and this works OK. But soon my phone the app is stuck with a spinning wheel and the caption "one moment please..." on the screen. So I tried doing the 2FA via a text to my phone and after confirming my number, well no text ever arrives!
I've deleted Gmail from my list of mail accounts and re-installed it, but the same thing happens. I can access my mail on both my computers and my iPad with no issues. Any help greatly appreciated!
