Sole Collector app for iOS: Awkward Error Messaging after Cancelling Out Apple Sign-In During Account Creation

iOS 13.5
Sole Collector app for iOS (version 1.7)
Date: 05/30/20

Description:

There's an odd error message displayed inside of the Sole Collector app when you cancel out of creating an account with the Apple Sign-in.

I've seen these mangled error messages for years when canceling out of the Facebook or Google prompts, but this is the first time I have seen it when canceling out of Apple's Sign-in.

It is interesting enough that I thought I should document it and grab a screenshot.

This is the error message:

The error messages reads:

"The operation couldn't be completed.
(com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1001)"

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the app
2. Select the "Register" option
3. Select the "Apple" option under "Or Continue With:"
4. Select "Cancel" and dismiss the Apple Sign-Up option
5. Note the error button that appears at the top of the screen

Result: A less-than-user-friendly error message appears after the user cancels out of the Apple Sign-In option during account creation. This red error message appears at the top of the screen and says:

Expected: Cancelling out of the Apple Sign-In should either result in no error message, or an informative one. I actually don't recall ever seeing an error message from cancelling out of the Apple Sign-in with any other app - and I certainly don't recall a jumbled error message

Launch the app...

Select the "Register" option...

Select the Apple Sign-In option...

Cancel out of this Apple ID Sign-In pop up...
