Describe the bug
Trying this integration for the first time (only got my Enyaq today) and I can't login. After supplying my credentials I get a popup with just 'Error' as a title but no other content. In the logs, I see this:

---

This error originated from a custom integration.

Logger: custom_components.skodaconnect.config_flow
Source: custom_components/skodaconnect/config_flow.py:117
integration: Skoda Connect (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 22:50:31 (2 occurrences)
Last logged: 23:08:36

Fetch vehicles failed with error: Invalid token "None"

Is this working in MySkoda app?
I can connect fine through 'MySkoda' Android app but I cannot connect through 'MySkoda Essentials'. I cannot add my car in the essentials version of the android app, it gets stuck - the car thinks I have logged in, but the app doesn't. I cannot access Skoda Connect via the web portal, if I try to register my car it tells me to use the app. Logging in to the essentials app seems to be common workaround, but seems to me they are phasing out that app?

Yep this seems to be a new change on the API side affecting new accounts/vehicles. Other cases skodaconnect/skodaconnect#126 and #279

No solution for this at the moment but being discussed in #homeassitant on Discord.

@dvx76

hello, I confirm that it is exactly the same problem as @MarcelMertens and @ChrisZ32

To centralize progress and updates I'm going to close this as a duplicate of skodaconnect/skodaconnect#126 since it has the best level of detail so far.

Hi,

Most users have now received the same email wrt the Essentials app EOL. We also know that for new vehicles/accounts the Essentials app, and consequently this integration, is already not working.

There are only a few active developers working on this integration but we are aware of this and we are (slowly) working on making the integration compatible with the new MySkoda app/API. There are no timelines and in fact no guarantee we will get this working. Please be patient and do not open new issues reporting the same thing.
