" Check your home-assistant.log file for any errors about indieauth . If it also mentions a OS Error, you most likely have a broken IPv6 implementation. You can confirm this by running curl -v6 https://home-assistant.io/iOS/beta-auth from the machine you run Home Assistant on. If you receive a error about not being able to connect to the server, your IPv6 stack is broken and you should disable it."
Why does Home Assistant need the AAAA record? I don’t have a public IPv6 address.
I’m guessing bug. I’m sure it’ll be fixed in a subsequent release. Seems to only effect broken IPv6. Agree it should be falling back to v4 probably but this is where it is.
IPv6 is part of every modern OS and it tries very hard to autoconfigure. If the ISP does not support IPv6 or changes addresses dynamically this can lead to a state where a machine believes it has IPv6 and thus fails to connect anywhere.
By now the default in most network applications is to try IPv6 first - the problem is that not everything falls back to IPv4. It’s outside our control as home-assistant.io needs to support both obviously.
The only IPv6 enabled on my network are link-local addresses which (auto-enabled by most linux distros). Therefore, I don’t allow AAAA resolution on my DNS servers. Just because there’s a link-local address doesn’t mean the application should be trying to use IPv6 for WAN connections, link-local addresses are L2 only.
Well if you know how to do dns filtering for your network you should not have any issues here 
@switchtower,
I also am running Home Assistant on a Mac, no virtual machines, just a simple single use setup. Ive been struggling to get this to work. Ver 1.5 worked flawlessly, the two days ago 2.0 appeared on my mobile devices. I have read literally dozens of posts of folks have a similar issue albeit on slightly different instal platforms. You are one on the few who is on a Mac like me, so I was hoping you may have come across a solution.
@everyoneelse
For the sake of completeness here is the error I see in my log:

I believe I have all the necessary parts and pieces in my Config file. I have restarted HA several times.
I’ve seen the thread about previous beta testers. I was not one, so no beta versions ever installed. 1.5 to 2.0 directly.
I’ve also seen the thread about installs on Mac with the certifi issue. I checked my python directories and see the certifi is there.
At this point I’m at a total loss. There are lots of install variations and some answers seem specific to a RPi3/4 install and therefore not relevant while others are for docker/VM installs.
Anyone with success in getting 2.0 the run with HA installed on a Mac, I’d love to know what you did to make it work. If you spot either an omission or an improper setup in my Config, please let me know.
I too am at a total loss as for what to do next. I love HA and what it can do but this is a very frustrating setback.
Apologies for such a long post but wanted to be as complete as possible for anyone who may read it through.
Have you actually run certifi or did you just check if the file exists? I am 100% sure you missed a step there. If possible reinstall python from python.org. I literally spent two days during the beta trying to reproduce your error including getting a mac to test.
@olbjan,
Yes, I did run certifi and it responded with the path to the .pem file. I don’t think I need to paste that path anywhere but I may be wrong. I will try to reinstall python tonight. Can you give me an idea of what you think I missed? I really don’t remember anything out of the ordinary when I installed it months ago, but if you have any suggestions I would certainly appreciate them. I would not want to miss something two times in a row.
Thank you. I appreciate your quick response.
The error is clear: the root certificates must be missing.
I don’t remember my exact steps (reproducing this was months ago) but it was fixed for the person that ran into it by a reinstall of python.
I remember the hint about adding certs in the macos installer was easy to overlook, which is how I reproduced it at first…
I’m not sure what you mean. Disabling link-local IPv6 is a silly solution to a problem that probably shouldn’t exist. Let’s see if enabling AAAA resolution helps, I can live with that.
@ olbjan,
I did a full re-install of the latest version of Python (now 3.8) and was very careful to document each step. I did see the notification about downloading the certificate from certifi. Yes, I probably did miss it last time, but even after making sure each step was completed I still get the same error in the mobile app. Screenshots below show the completion of Python install and the selected “install certificates.command” just after double-clicking it.
The response I got back was:

Any additional thoughts or ideas? I’d really hate to have to abandon the mobile app but Im at a loss.
Thank you for you help so far and I hope we can get this solved.

I’ll take a shot at reproducing on Monday when I have access to a Mac again.
Hope you can hang onthat long
@olbjan,
Any luck trying to reproduce the error I described several days ago? Despite all my efforts, I still can not get 2.0 to allow me to log in. Thanks again for al your help so far.

Hi all. I’m new here and first off all i desire thank all for the grat job that can bring me at this point, i can know better HA with all the great post on this community.
I’m affected to this problem too.
My installtion is a CentOs 7 Virtual Machine and Home Assistant 0.103.3 up and running. All works good.
I use IOS App in my previous Hassio installation. Now, i change to Home Assistant, update the Home Assistant version ad UPDATE THE IOS APP.
From my first try in connect IOS App with Home Assistant i exprinced the first error:
OS error while looking up redirect_uri https://home-assistant.io/iOS: **Network is unreachable**
Read in all tread, i completely disable IPV6 on my CentOs virtual machine.
Now my machine not have IPV6 available.
But i still not able to connect with IOS App … but the error change:
OS error while looking up redirect_uri https://home-assistant.io/iOS: **Address family not supported by protocol**
If i try ping i can reach it:
# ping home-assistant.io
PING home-assistant.io (104.25.25.31) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 104.25.25.31 (104.25.25.31): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=12.5 ms
64 bytes from 104.25.25.31 (104.25.25.31): icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=12.5 ms
64 bytes from 104.25.25.31 (104.25.25.31): icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=12.5 ms
64 bytes from 104.25.25.31 (104.25.25.31): icmp_seq=4 ttl=55 time=12.2 ms
So … in your opinion why Home Assistant try to reach with “an address not supported by the protocol”?
At this point i not think that is a “Machine IP Layer problem” … in my machine Only IPV4 now is enabled and IPV4 address is reacheable.
Have any suggest?
Thanks all and have a Good New Year!!!
Mauro.
It’s quite likely you either missed something about turning IPv6 off - which unfortunately is rather hard to do - or you may have other broken dependencies on your install.
Unfortunately it’s rather hard to help with this because of the multitude of different ways one can install linux…
But as you’re already running a vm - why not use hassos inside a vm? Saves a lot of headache as all dependencies are managed for you.
On the other hand network is unreachable sure is a new error and you may want to take a look at possible firewall rules keeping your ha from communicating with the outside world.
I installed the 2.0 version on my iPhone this morning. It has this same connection problem. Fortunately, I still have the 1.5.x app, and it is connected and working.
Hardware: Intel NUC7i3BNK - Core i3 8GB RAM, 512GB NVME m.2 SSD
Operating system: Debian Buster 10.x w/AppArmor and Docker-CE
Home Assistant flavor: hass.io
Home Assistant version: 0.103.6
I suspect I’ll need to setup the new app while at home on my LAN, instead of trying to hit it from the wild and woolly internet/WAN.
EDIT: Yup, initializing/setting up the app on my LAN worked like a champ. 
Hi,
Were you able to solve this problem ? I am having the exact same issue.
I solved this. It was ipv6 issue. If you have not played around wiht ipv6 defaults (like me) I just had to reboot the modem, router and haas in that order and it worked.
Glad you got it fixed and apologies for a delayed response.
Hi there,
I have had the very same problem with logging into my Hass from both iPhone and Android. It worked fine using Safari or Firefox on my iPhone, but using the App was a no-go.
My situation:
Running Hass (NOT Hassio) on a MacBook Pro osX Catalina in a Python virtualenv, I followed the instructions from the link below just for clarity:
(Have to me nation, I’ve runed Hass previously on Linux (which physically died) and then in Docker on Mac, but 2 million issues later I’m here where I am)
The issue I had was the annoying error message on the phone ”Error invalid client id or redirect uri”. I just could not get it to login.
I’ve struggled for a couple of days now, but found a solution that worked for me. I checked what Hass said in the log, and I spotted something strange about SSL… and recalled something I’ve read about Python and certificates. So I fiddled around a little, and found it.
In the last step after using the binary installation package with its Wizard for Python, it says something about installing certificates. And in that box with text, there is links… and one of them takes you to the Finder window - and I checked under ”Python 3.7” and found a ”mysterious” script called ”Install Certificates.command”. And guess what it does? It installs some certificates… and I restarted Hass - and it all worked just fine! I can now login from both my iPhone and Android phones.
Maybe this can help someone else.
Marcus
