Expected behavior

After tapping the Like link from a WP.com Post email notification, the post should be Liked.

Actual behavior

The post opens in Jetpack, but not Liked.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  • Have the Jetpack app installed, and logged in with the same account on the browser.
  • From your email client, open an email notification for a post.
  • Tap the Like link.
  • Observe that it first opens Safari and then redirects to the Jetpack app, opening the post.
  • Observe that the post is not Liked.
Tested on any device, any supported version, Jetpack iOS 23.8

Research direction

Reproduce the flow from a WP.com post email: tap Like, observe the Safari redirect, and follow the handoff into the Jetpack post screen. Trace where the Like action is expected to be carried across that handoff; done means the post opens in Jetpack and is visibly Liked.
