Description

Describe the bug

Hi people, DDGo long user here.

I'm using the Heron Bluesky Android client, and for some time now I haven't been able to authenticate. The process proceeds as before until the last step, which should launch Heron back, but instead goes to the Heron website.

Please fix it.

I set Chrome as the default browser temporarily to log in. That worked as expected.

Kind Regards,
Eugen

How to Reproduce
  1. Open Heron
  2. Press login
  3. Enter your credentials
  4. Copy/paste code from email
  5. Press "Authorise"
Expected behavior

Heron app opens with the token

Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.291.1
- Device: Pixel 10 XL
- OS: Android 17

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the login flow using the listed steps and environment, then trace the final OAuth redirect from the browser back to Heron; done means the app opens with the token instead of the Heron website.
