How can I get the Google Avatar of the user that signed in with Google?

TL;DR

To get the Google Avatar of the user who signed in, you need to use the listIdentities() method with the access token. Log the result to check where it is. For setting up Appwrite on a VPS, refer to https://book.appread.io/. Match the current Appwrite version for better performance. It's possible to use Nginx with Appwrite, but if you need further help, create a new support thread.

Use the provider access token to fetch user detsils from google.

I use React Native Expo and selfhost, the providerAccessToken in mine is empty. const currentSession = await account.getSession('current'); console.log('Full session:', JSON.stringify(currentSession, null, 2));
