Description
I am creating a macOS app.
NOTE TO MAKER: With all the "iOS" names (including logos), I avoided this library for ages.
When a user chooses to authorise with Microsoft, my app is directed to (what seems to be) a new browser window that is near center with size about 600x1000pixels. Then the usual auth process happens...
How can I cause, when asking to authorise other API providers (eg. Google, Dropbox), to open a window of specific dimensions? Similar to how MS does it.
I believe the app developer can specify a user agent... I can open a web page inside a certain frame, but I heard that OAuth2 cannot be done in this way. (But I don't want to monitor the window .. only set it's size and location.)

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the macOS authorization flow and its browser-window presentation handling, then determine whether provider authorization windows can have their dimensions set; done should establish and document the supported behavior for Google, Dropbox, and similar providers.
