I further investigated into this and discovered more issues that may help to narrow down the actual cause. Our app incorporates google synchronization that requires to sign-in to google via a popup (using window.open(...) in angular typscript). This popup is suppressed, essentially disabling this feature Various elements link the user to our website. Blocked as well As written in this post, it seems like assistive access blocks external urls. However, as our app requires this to login via apple or google, this appears to be a rather strict limitation. Some of our users rely on assistive access and we are committed to offer them the full feature set. Is there any way to enable opening specific URLs or another workaround to solve this issue?
