Here’s a bug with an iOS app that I have never seem before. An app for a Spanish clothing retailer called #sivasdescalzo becomes unresponsive if the user cancels out of the Apple Sign-in pop-up menu.

I’ve seen wonky error messages before but not this!

Screenshot show the Apple App Store detail page for an app called SVD. Screenshot from inside of an iOS app called SVD. Cancelling out of an Apple sign in pop-up menu results in the SVD app becoming unresponsive.

Odd error message of:

“ITXCoreView.FacebookLoginError error 1.”

Appears after the user cancels out of in-app sign-ins inside of the #massimodutti iOS app.

As you can see in this screenshot, instead of displaying a relevant app name, a name related to Amazon’s login services is displayed. Not a great end-user experience.

Here’s a Tumblr link detailing the same issue: www.tumblr.com/googleoauth-...

UPDATE: this problem was quickly fixed. The two in-app links are now working.
This is a screenshot from inside an app called “Phissy” - two links, the “Privacy Policy” and “Terms and Conditions” links were not working a few days ago. Now, these two links do work correctly.

Here’s a common #GoogleOAuth problem with iOS consent screen the app name will occasionally show on the consent screen. A default “project-number” is displayed - not user friendly and any ambiguity with these screens is a recipe for trouble.

Here’s an issue with the #AWSreInvent app - the “Cookies preferences” link does nothing. It doesn’t activate a “Customize cookie preferences” pop-up.

Could this be a #GDPR problem?
