Bug Report: OAuth Redirect Freezes Kick Mobile App

Summary

Opening the Kick OAuth authorization URL on a mobile device redirects to the Kick mobile application, where the app becomes stuck on the Kick logo and the OAuth flow never completes.

---

Environment

• Platform: Mobile (Android / iOS)
• Application: Kick Mobile App
• Browser: Any mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.)
• OAuth URL:
  https://id.kick.com/oauth/authorize?...

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the following OAuth authorization URL on a mobile device:
   https://id.kick.com/oauth/authorize?...
2. The browser redirects automatically to the Kick mobile app.
3. The Kick app launches.
4. The app freezes on the Kick logo screen.

---

Expected Behavior

• The OAuth authorization flow should complete successfully on mobile, either:
  • Fully handled inside the Kick mobile app, or
  • Completed in the mobile browser without redirecting to the app.

---

Actual Behavior

• The Kick mobile app opens but remains stuck on the logo screen.
• OAuth authorization never completes.
• No error message or fallback behavior is shown.

---

Suspected Cause

• The Kick mobile app appears unable to properly handle OAuth authorization URLs from:
  id.kick.com
• The app may only support deep links under:
  *.kick.com
• This causes the app to intercept the OAuth link but fail to continue the OAuth process.

---

Impact

• Mobile users cannot authenticate using Kick OAuth.
• Third-party integrations relying on Kick OAuth are broken on mobile.
• Users are blocked and unable to continue authentication.

---

Suggested Fix

• Add proper OAuth handling for id.kick.com within the Kick mobile app, or
• Prevent OAuth URLs from opening the mobile app and allow the browser to complete authentication, or
• Implement fallback logic if OAuth handling fails inside the app.
