Description

I would like to develop an solid app using Android or iOS app's WebView.
However, An error "could not connect to main window" occurred at popup.html when I try to log in to my pod in solid.community or my private v5.0.1 node-solid-server.
The error does not occur when I log in by chrome or safari.
Could you give some advices to login to my pod using WebView ?

Research direction

Start with popup.html and reproduce the login flow in an Android or iOS WebView, comparing it with Chrome or Safari. Investigate the reported “could not connect to main window” error when logging in to solid.community or a private v5.0.1 node-solid-server; done means WebView login works or the incompatibility is clearly documented.
