Describe the bug
When I opened Sprout for the first time, it appeared to auto-log me in using an existing Nostr identity already available on my Mac. After opening Settings → Profile, the app showed a red error banner that says: “parse failed: error decoding response body.” The profile fields did not appear to load correctly.
To Reproduce:
Install and open Sprout on macOS
Allow the app to launch with an already available/logged-in Nostr identity on the machine
Open Settings
Stay on or navigate to the Profile tab
See error: “parse failed: error decoding response body”
Expected behavior:
I expected Sprout to load my relay profile successfully, or at minimum handle any auto-login/profile-loading issue gracefully with a clearer error message and usable profile settings.
Supporting Material
Screenshot attached showing the error in Settings → Profile:
Red banner message: “parse failed: error decoding response body”
Identity shown as npub1t2vge...pk0e
The app appears to have auto-authenticated me, likely because I was already logged in to other Nostr clients on my Mac
Environment (please complete the following information):
OS: macOS
Version: Tahoe 26.4
Additional context
This was my first time trying the app. I was already logged in to other Nostr clients on my Mac, so Sprout may have automatically picked up an existing identity/session. I am not sure whether that is expected behavior, but it may be related to the error. The issue appeared immediately when I opened the app and viewed the Profile settings.
