Google Talk - XMPP

Hi, since Google disabled this option: https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
Google Talk - XMPP is unable to login.

This is not the canonical repository, we (the actual pidgin developers) have nothing to do with this repository. As for the google talk situation, we made an official announcement on our official website https://pidgin.im/posts/2022-05-google-talk-shutdown/

Is Google Chat replacement of Google Talk? If yes, I followed the YouTube video to get the OAuth code, but the page is never loading. In other words, make no sense to continue with Google Chat. Google Talk is just fine.

The blog post I linked, links to this page from google that states:

Switch to Google Chat
Important: If you try to sign in to Google Talk on or after June 16, 2022, you'll get a sign in error.
We recommend switching to Google Chat.

Yes, as I said previously I followed the YouTube video to get the OAuth code, but the page is never loading. Which means I can't login to purple-googlechat too.

Ok, but then this is an issue for puple-googlechat and should be in their issue tracker as they're not going to see it here.

Where is the official repository of pidgin? I thought it was here.

Where is the official repository of pidgin? I thought it was here.

Pidgin in hosted on our own servers and uses Mercurial not git for the version control system.

There is a landing repository here on github at https://github.com/pidgin/pidgin that has links to everything.

That said, the issue with purple-googlechat needs to be filed at https://github.com/eionRobb/purple-googlechat as that is not part of Pidgin itself.
