vscode: Can't sign into vscode.dev PWA on iOS

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.71.0
  • OS Version: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/15.6.1 Safari/605.1.15

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. “Install” vscode.dev as a PWA on iOS (“add to home screen” in safari)
  2. Click on Sign in to turn on setting sync
  3. Allow the pop up
  4. Sign in to GitHub/Microsoft (happens with both) if not signed in already (I am in the video)
  5. Pop-up closes
  6. PWA reloads, not signed in

The whole process: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29828269/188931228-f2cf44aa-cb13-4ac5-8984-cdf6bfb7bbff.MOV

The output log after (it is visible for a frame or two before the PWA reloads): image

None of the other log messages I managed to catch seemed of note

I think an MDM policy is probably involved here. Since I do contract work for a company that is very inconsistent at what policies they apply, and I jumped from an A series processor to an M series processor, I likely just got a different set of policies that are not causing a problem.

Apologies, I’ve been out of the office as well. In my case, it did magically resolve itself because my company swapped my iPad out for a new one and presto, no more issues. So apparently the workaround is to get yourself a new M2 iPad Pro 😃

Ok. We will have a new stable vscode.dev mid-next week. Let’s wait for that and see if the issue persists. It’s possible that it’s a stable configuration issue so it might still repro… but let’s see.
