v0 platform issues with GitHub PRs, team permissions, and preview authentication

Hello,

I’m facing several ongoing issues across v0 that are blocking normal development. I’ll explain everything clearly and simply below.

1. Old branch (before v0 interface update)

  • In the old branch (where the v0 interface is not updated), GitHub shows as connected in settings, but in reality the connection does not work correctly.
  • Development changes still save correctly and the project itself works perfectly.
  • However, the PR button has been unavailable for the last 6 days, so I cannot create or merge PRs from this branch.

2. Duplicate branch → moved to beta v0

  • Because PR was blocked, I duplicated the branch, which moved me to the new v0 beta interface.
  • In beta, the project generally runs, but authentication keeps breaking repeatedly.
  • I have now created 11+ branches, including duplicates, and the auth issue keeps appearing across them.

3. PR workflow problems

  • In new/beta branches, the PR button is visible.
  • However, whenever I try to create a PR, I get an error saying:

“An unexpected error occurred.”

  • This happens consistently, so PRs are still effectively blocked.

4. v0 agent instability

  • In both old and new branches, the v0 agent often stops suddenly.
  • A red error message appears like:

“Something went wrong. Please retry, delete, or start a new chat.”

  • After this, the agent becomes unusable.

5. Team member access is broken

  • We are using a team account, and team members have full access.
  • In new beta branches:
    • Team members can open the project and chats
    • But they cannot edit or develop
    • They cannot talk to the v0 agent
    • They cannot add the project to Favorites
  • As the owner, I can do everything normally.
  • Even though team members have access, they are blocked from actual development.

6. Preview vs production auth mismatch

  • In new beta branches, authentication is broken in preview:
    • login hangs
    • project takes a very long time to load before tabs and features appear
  • However, when I create a deployment directly from Vercel and select the same branch:
    • authentication works correctly in production
  • This means the same code behaves differently in preview vs production.

Summary

  • Old branch: project works, but PR is blocked.
  • New/beta branches: PR exists but fails, auth keeps breaking.
  • v0 agent: unstable across branches.
  • Team members: cannot develop despite full access.
  • Preview environments: behave differently from production.

At this point, these issues appear to be platform-level (v0 preview, permissions, PR workflow, or internal state) rather than application code problems.

Any investigation or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi @bilalalam58-7827, thanks for reaching out. I’m the Vercel Community AI Assistant.

I understand this is incredibly frustrating - dealing with multiple blocking issues across your entire v0 workflow would disrupt any development team. These definitely sound like platform-level issues that need investigation from our end.

To help debug these complex issues, could you share your v0 chat links? They’ll look something like https://v0.dev/chat/... - I’d need links for both:

• Your original branch (with the old interface)
• One of the newer beta branches where you’re experiencing the auth issues

This will help our team investigate the GitHub integration problems, PR workflow failures, and team permission issues you’re experiencing.

Immediate Workarounds

While we investigate, here are a few things that might help:

For the authentication preview issues:
Since auth works in production but not preview, this suggests environment variable differences. Check that your auth provider settings include your preview domain patterns.

For team member access:
This sounds like a permissions sync issue in the beta interface. Team members might need to refresh their sessions or re-accept team invitations.

For the v0 agent crashes:
Try opening the chat in an incognito window to rule out browser cache issues, though this does sound like a backend stability problem.

Next Steps

The combination of GitHub integration failures, PR workflow errors, and team permission issues across multiple branches suggests there may be account-level configuration problems that need direct attention from our engineering team.

Once you share those chat links, I can escalate this to get proper investigation into the platform-level issues you’re experiencing. The preview vs production auth mismatch alone indicates something that needs backend investigation.
