  1. investigating Sep 19, 2025, 06:40 PM UTC

    We've have received reports of the google sign in flow failing to redirect back to the mobile app successfully, and have been able to reproduce the issue We are currently investigating the problem

  2. investigating Sep 19, 2025, 08:08 PM UTC

    We have isolated the issue to iOS devices, Android customers should be unaffected Continuing to investigate

  3. identified Sep 19, 2025, 10:51 PM UTC

    We've identified the issue, and are still working on a fix. In the meantime we have identified a workaround that appears to be working on some clients - by navigating directly to https://app.frontapp.com/oauth/google-signin?client_type=universalLink in Safari on iOS and signing you should get redirected to the app in a signed in state

  4. identified Sep 23, 2025, 02:13 AM UTC

    We've released a new version of the app (5.69.1) that fixes the behavior in some cases, but does not fully address the issue. We are in progress on a full fix. For clients still unable to login we have identified a workaround that appears to be working on some clients - by navigating directly to https://app.frontapp.com/oauth/google-signin?client_type=universalLink in Safari on iOS and signing you should get redirected to the app in a signed in state
