Managed Home Screen Issues with Android Web View
I came across an interesting issue with managed Home Screen and apps that use the Android web view for federated authentication with Entra ID. After signing into MHS when you click on a managed app that invokes Entra ID as a web view, Edge fires up as a Webview and takes the SSO from the initial signin without an issue. Just a note, the new cross site forgery request interrupt is in the flow so the user has to click OK. When a second federated app is clicked on, edge opens as a browser and the user doesn’t see the web view. If you hit the Android back button on the Webview then comes into view and the user can continue.
Anyone else see this? This is with the newest Edge browser and Android 14 as the OS.
We're seeing this issue too. We're using Android 14, and have replicated it with Edge (v127), Edge Beta (v128) and Edge Dev (v129). Chrome doesn't have this issue, but SSO isn't possible with Chrome (please let me know if this is possible.)
Pressing back once isn't always enough to show the WebView. If the user has access to any web apps, it depends on how many pages they've navigated to. They have to keep pressing back until the foreground Edge window closes.
We're instructing people to "close all tabs in Edge and press back once to show the authentication prompt".- Yes you are correct with Chrome it isn’t possible. This really puts a damper on the use of this launcher as it really is superior to what is available with Omnissa Workspace One launcher.
