An advice from Grandma(feddit.nl)

i still don’t understand how logging in to Miru with Appimage works, i authorized it and Anilist lists Miru in the Apps section but it’s still not logging me to Miru

I think it’s a bug. I can’t login either. I’m on manjaro.

okay i figured it out, you have to create a .desktop file for miru in .local/share/applications and it must contain this line:

MimeType=x-scheme-handler/miru;

you can use Gear Lever which adds Appimages to the applications menu and creates the .dekstop file automatically for you so you don’t have to do everything manually even the line above, it also has an update mechanism too

it’s preferable to Temporarily use Brave or a chromium browser as the default for it work properly if Firefox is your default

Try logging into anilist in a browser that has been installed as a native package. Then temporarily set it as the default browser and open Miru then try ‘login with anilist’ .

This worked for me.
