Description

The login flow works, but the Chrome Tab doesn't close itself after the app scheme callback.
Adding the NO_HISTORY flag leads to the callback not working correctly: the app receives it, but the browser activity stays on top requiring the user to manually close it after which the flow finishes successfully.
