Unable to login via softphone

While trying to test a solution for a customer's answer today, I discovered that I was unable to login via my RingCentral Softphone on Mac using any of my accounts (production or sandbox). I wanted to share an experience that I had today in case other people ran into this issue, what the conditions for the issue are, and how to resolve it:


The scenario: I had my RingCentral soft phone installed, and it was configured to use my Development (Sandbox) account of RingCentral (as documented here: https://developers.ringcentral.com/library/tutorials/test-account.html). Earlier in the day, I installed the most recent update (as recommended) to the software. When I tried to login later, I was unable to do so (no matter what account I tried using, or if I modified/removed the config.ini which allowed me to use my RC-Sandbox account). I kept receiving an error message "Invalid Credentials". I tried using the SSO (Single Sign-On), but that failed too.


The fix: I simply uninstalled the RingCentral for Mac software from my MBP (Move the Application to the trash), and downloaded the latest version from the web (http://downloads.ringcentral.com/sp/RingCentralForMac) and re-installed. Then all was well with the world and I was back to developing.


Hope this helps if you run into the same issue.

Hi, 

Did you follow the instructions to setup the Softphone for the Sandbox environment. Kindly take a look at our developer community post here :

Developer sandbox tools

Using the RingCentral Phone for Desktop, you can dial or receive test calls, send and receive test SMS or Fax messages in your sandbox environment.

Download RingCentral Phone for Desktop:

Tip: switch to the "sandbox mode" before logging in the app:

  • On MacOS: press "fn + command + f2" keys
  • On Windows: press "Ctrl + F2" keys
