Pinterest app for iOS: Bad Terms Link on the FB Authorization page

 iOS 16.3.1

Pinterest app for iOS (version 11.6)

Date: 02/27/2023

Description:

There's a bad "Terms" link on the Pinterest Facebook authorization screen. It leads to:

https://about.pinterest.com/en/terms-service?fbclid=IwAR0LJBi8gD_JYOPucqw1-9wu2dycWS-Gf4prmMwaW92MCzTNFf7jxEbmIZA


The same problem reproduces on a laptop. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Pinterest app for iOS
2. Select "Log in"
3. Select the "Continue with Facebook" option 
4. From the "Pinterest" Wants to Use" option select "Continue"
5. From the Open in Facebook option, select "Open"
6. From the Log in With Facebook option, select "Terms"

Result: The "Terms" link on the Facebook login for Pinterest leads to an Access Denied page 

Expected: The "Terms" link on the Facebook login for Pinterest should never lead to an Access Denied Page

This is the "Terms" link on the Facebook in-app authorization for Pinterest. It leads to: https://about.pinterest.com/en/terms-service

The error message.

Vylo app for iOS: App crashes if camera switcher activated while camera permissions disabled

 iOS 16.3

Date: 02/12/2023

Vylo app for iOS (version 1.1.20)

Description:

There is an easy to reproduce crash with the current version (1.1.20) of the Vylo app for iOS. This app happens if the user declines camera access and then enters into the Record Video screen and selects the camera switch option. 

I always attempt this with every app that I download, and this was the rare (perhaps only) time that it crashes an iOS app. Here's a link to a video of the crash. 

Download the Vylo app and set it so that the app does NOT have camera access. 

Screenshot of the crash dump. 






Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a Vylo account

2. Decline camera access 

3. With camera access declined, select "+ Create"

4. Select "Record Video"

5. From the AVCam prompt, select "OK"

6. Select the Camera Switch option in the bottom right corner of the screen

Result: The Vylo app will crash if the use selects the camera switch option with camera access declined 

Expected: App should not crash if the camera switch option is activate with camera access declined 

With camera access declined, select the "+ Create" option...

With camera access declined, select "Record Video"

Select the "OK" option...

The app will crash after the camera switch option is activated. This is a rare crash, as I do this with every app I download and have never seen this particular crash, to my recollection.

Vylo app for iOS: Facebook login screen has non-working Privacy and TOS links

 iOS 16.3

Date: 02/10/2023

Vylo app for iOS (version 1.1.20)

Description:

The Vylo app for iOS has an option to use Facebook credentials to create an account. One minor problem: the login confirmation page displayed inside of the Facebook app has non-working Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links. 

Selecting either the Privacy Policy or Terms of Service links will land the user on a page that says, "The page you requested was not found."

Take a look:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Vylo app for iOS (version 1.1.20)

2. From the "Join the conversation." page, select "Continue with Facebook"

3. From the in-app prompt, select "Continue"

4. From the "Open in Facebook" prompt, select "Open"

5. From the requesting access page, select either "Privacy Policy" or "Terms of Service"


Result: The "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" links on the Facebook login confirmation page are not working/don't take the user to valid documentation 


Expected: Links such as "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Service" should always work 

Select the "Continue with Facebook" option...

Select the "Continue" option from this prompt...

Select the "Open" option from this prompt...

Select either the "Privacy Policy" or "Terms of Service" links...

No Privacy Policy or Terms of Service
