I get the same hanging dialog with the Android 4.3 system browser. It does work with Chrome, but not everyone has it installed. Using AccountManager seems to require Google Play services, so it wouldn't work on devices without them, like Amazon Fire tablets.

chrisgch I'm afraid the Android 4.3 system browser (which seems to be based on Webkit 534.30) isn't officially supported either, given how old it is. I recommend having your users upgrade to a more recent version.

    You cannot update the system browser. But I could show a warning that users should install Chrome or Firefox for Android.
