Can't log in when not connected to Google?
I recently picked up, during a trip through Dubai, a Huawei phone which isn't allowed to connect to Google play store (I didn't think about it when buying, and I regret having bought it. But well, that's it now and I thought I might just as well use it). So, I've downloaded the Wikipedia app from the Aurora store. When I want to log into my Wikipedia account on the app, I get logged out after few seconds. After 3 times having logged in and being logged out, it says password or username incorrect. I assume, it's because the app tries to connect to the Google play store (I have the same issue on that phone with a couple of other apps from the Aurora store). However, as Wikipedia specifically claims to be open to everybody, I feel it's contradictory to its claim if it doesn't allow user to log in when not connected to Google. I don't find it particularly important to stay logged in, but I'd be very disappointed if it's true that the Wikipedia app requires access to Google. If so, I will stop supporting the foundation with my regular donations. I write this being logged in from my Google connected android phone.
