Issue

The user chooses to Sign in Later on the login screen to work offline in Studio Pro, but the Sign In page intermittently reappears, prompting for sign-in once more.

Environment

• Mendix Studio Pro 10.12.x or later
• Version Controlled app

Cause

Even though Mendix Studio Pro is configured to operate offline, the Version Control service persistently attempts to fetch data automatically from the remote repository, prompting the user to authenticate.

Solution/Workaround

To prevent the Sign In screen from repeatedly popping up, you need to turn off the background task Enable automatic fetching from a remote repository, that enables automatic fetching from a remote repository. This feature requires you to be signed in, which is why the screen pops up.

You can find this setting under the path Edit>Preferences>Version control tab, then Background tasks tab.
