Unable to Register Application - Android

Hi
I am trying to get the official HA Android app set up on my phone and run into the following error:

Unable to register application. Please check to ensure you have mobile_app integration enabled on your home assistant instance.

In the logs I see:

I am running Home Assistant 2021.3.4 in Docker on a Synology NAS and my phone is a stock Samsung Galaxy S8. Additionally, the official IOS app works fine on my old ipad. It doesn’t make any difference if I add the mobile_app: line.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone help?

In case anyone else comes across this problem: if i add a new user and then log into the app as that user all is well. However, this was not a suitable solution for me and so I ended up starting again by deleting the .storage folder in /config
