Ask HN: Instagram oauth login broken from within their app webview?
Hi, I am working on a product where I need to let a user to signup/login via instagram (thus verify account ownership). All is working fine in the webapp in safari/chrome, but when signup link is opened directly from instagram app, it opens the link in a webview and for some reason that webview is not able to open https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/ URL on iOS 10 (and latest app version). Works fine on android though, but iOS users are the main target group.
Does anybody else have this problem and knows a workaround? or a way to 'escape' the webview and open link in safari?
