Research direction

Start by reproducing the invalid or incomplete URL flow during third-account creation on iOS, then follow the startup and account-creation entry points involved after the “unsupported URL” notification. Confirm that the app offers a way to correct the URL or continue instead of showing an empty loading screen, and retest after restarting the app.
