Description

Hi!
I am part of a team of students who are developing a chat application based in the Solid principles.
We have a problem with the application and it is because we have made it to work fullscreen on iOS just adding two meta tags to the html documents in Angular.

The thing is that we are unable to use the application in this mode because when we try to do the login, the Solid login page doesn't implement these tags and hence it redirects the user to the browser, resulting in the application not getting the session.
I was wondering if I could add these tags to the head element of the file in node-solid-server/default-views/auth/login.hbs.
The specific tags would be these:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="default">

I am not 100% sure this will solve all the problems running the application fullscreen on iOS, but I thought it was worth a try.

Thank you!

Research direction

Start in node-solid-server/default-views/auth/login.hbs and compare its head element with the Apple Safari meta-tag documentation linked in the issue. Verify whether the login page retains the session when opened from an Angular application running fullscreen on iOS; done means the requested fullscreen login behavior is confirmed or its remaining limitation is documented.
