Description
This comes from: https://github.com/owncloud/android/pull/3074#issuecomment-789682250
If a redirection happens, user must be notified and approve explicitly the issue (a similar way to do as in a self-signed certificate)
iOS example:

AC:
- When the URL is checked, if a redirection happens, a dialog/alert/whatever is displayed to notify the issue
- When the user accepts, auth flow goes on
- In case the user does not accept the redirection, the auth flow stops
NOTE: this is the same way to do as in a self-signed/not secured server certificate

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing URL checking and the authentication flow, then compare the existing self-signed or unsecured certificate handling. Done means a 301 or 302 redirect shows an approval prompt, continues authentication after acceptance, and stops the flow when declined.
