Google blocks authorization

[goliF]

Hi,
Thanks for the great work.
I have an issue and really appreciate any help.

On step 1 (Making Google Apps Script), when going through the deployment procedure as mentioned in the guides, after clicking on the "Authorize access" button, I see this error in the opened pop-up and I cannot continue the procedure:
"This app is blocked. This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access."

OS: Windows 11

Thanks

Hi, thanks for the report.

That Google dialog usually means the Apps Script authorization flow is being blocked by the Google account policy, not by Windows or mhrv-rs itself. A freshly-created Apps Script project normally shows an “unverified app” warning where you can continue through Advanced, but some accounts are stricter and show “This app is blocked” instead.

Please try this path:

1. Use a personal Gmail account, not a Google Workspace / school / company account.
2. Create a brand-new Apps Script project yourself.
3. Paste the current assets/apps_script/Code.gs from this repo.
4. Set your own AUTH_KEY.
5. Deploy as Web App with:
   • Execute as: Me
   • Who has access: Anyone
6. Authorize from the same account that owns the script.

If you are using a Workspace account, the admin may block unverified Apps Script OAuth flows entirely. In that case the practical fix is to use a personal Gmail account or ask the Workspace admin to allow the script.

Also make sure you are not authorizing somebody else's shared Apps Script project. The project should be owned by you; mhrv-rs only needs the resulting Deployment ID.
