Hey there!
This is a known rough edge on mobile: the repo picker can list a repo before your GitHub connection is fully verified, but actually starting an agent runs a live per-user access check. If that connection is stale or incomplete, every repo will fail at start with the generic “You don’t have access to this repo anymore,” even though you can still select it.
The reliable fix is to re-establish the connection from the web dashboard:
- On web/desktop, open Integrations in your Cursor dashboard, click Connect next to GitHub (or Manage Connections / Disconnect then reconnect if it’s already listed), and grant access to your repos. If it’s set to Selected repositories, add the repos you want or switch to All repositories.
- Confirm you can start an agent on that repo from Cursor on the web.
- Reopen the iOS app, pull up the repo picker again (or relaunch), and retry.
If it still fails after reconnecting on the web, reply here and I’ll dig in further. The unclear mobile error (and not being able to fix this from the app itself) is a gap we’re aware of.
