Cannot login: "forbidden"

I have Nextcloud 18.0.4 installed on Ubuntu 18.04 as a snap, with nginx as a SSL proxy, and forwarding it unencrypted to localhost:81. I can login fine from the web, but when I try to connect the iOS app, it says

Error
It is not possible to connect to the server at this time.
forbidden

The web login method doesn’t work because the Log in/Grant access (app token method) button simply doesn’t work.

I ran nextcloud.occ log:tail but no new log errors came up. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.

No real idea. Perhaps the ssl certificate is not correct?
Test the ssl certificate in your browser? Do you use Lets Encrypt?

Yes - logging in through the browser works just fine, so it can’t be the SSL.

I just opened the app, and boom, I’m apparently logged in.

That’s so buggy.

Thanks to this post, I just tried to reopen the app. Worked!

Really annoying bug!
