As the title says. This is impacting my app because I want to use the Scan Barcode action for mobile so when the session transfers to Safari the Scan Barcode action doesn't work. I saw a similar bug report but have not found anything related to solving the issue. Best regards, ---

Your identity provider should redirect you back to your app after auth. So the barcode scan function will still work. I found this post because I am wondering if the IOS app is using Safari in the background? I wonder because it impacts certs. Thanks, Jake Geers ---

It self-resolved. I was messing around with it with the security group and it started working, so no issues with the weird redirect now.
