I think we need 2 things first :

1. a reliable way to reproduce the account credentials renewal process;
this is where the cookie renewal happens

2. Additional logs and tools to trace down the various redirections and
cookie operations that the renewal process requires

3. Once we are there, the solution should be clearer. It may take
relaxing the url pattern policy even further, or manage the redirection
/ overlays in a different way

#1 For reproducing, I think it is key to be able to store valid "old"
cookies and account configurations, taken from different places in the
system (the OA central base, the  OA cookies, also the app cookies, the
OA/app permissions), and be able to save that into an archive that can
then be re-injected on a new device. Because we have to re-install our
phones quite frenquently, it has been difficult to reproduce regularly,
but really there is nothing preventing us from restoring cookies from 3
months ago, and get forced by Google to re-authenticate as a result.

#2 For tracing the redirection and cookie operations, it will take a few
more log statements. But that should be the occasion to remove the
remainder of the other useless debug lines that end up in the webapp-
container logs

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  MX4 running rc-proposed 167

  I ran the gmail webapp which I have done in the past.
   I had a google account configured, and gmail was permitted to use it

  Open gmail, get directed to login with ubuntu one
  login into ubuntu one
  redirect to a webbrowser instance with my google account home displayed and no option for mail
  Close the browser
  the ubuntu one screen is still up but has no navigation available, so close that too
  close the gmail webapp

  I repeated that entire thing more than once, but third time I reopened
  the webapp it showed me the mail using my account.
