The issue is using the remote connections on the codex app on macos and linux vm (ubuntu 22.04) installed with codex cli latest version using npm install -g @openai/codex@latest today. After logging in with device auth code or headless login. Even after successfully login, the codex macos app working in remote project giving error message "Your access token could not be refreshed because you have since logged out or signed in to another account. Please sign in again." 5) When you come back on codex app and try to send message to continue work in remote project for that vm. The below error message is shown

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by re-authenticating with the Codex App after a successful login with the device auth code or headless login.

Guidance

• Verify that the remote_connections flag is set to true in the Codex App settings to ensure remote connections are enabled.
• Try signing out and then signing back in to the Codex App to refresh the access token and resolve the authentication issue.
• Check if the issue persists after deleting the codex auth json file and relogging in, as this may help to reset any cached authentication data.
• If the issue still occurs, try using a different account to isolate if the problem is account-specific.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to authentication token refresh, and re-authenticating may resolve the issue. However, without more information about the Codex App's authentication mechanism, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-authenticate with the Codex App after a successful login with the device auth code or headless login, as this may resolve the access token refresh issue.
