OLX: Pakistan app for iOS: Google OAuth Consent Screen: Privacy Policy and Terms of Service Links Do Not Work

 iOS 17.5.1

OLX: Pakistan app for iOS (Version 15.48772)

07/07/24

Description:

Here's another problem with a Google OAuth consent screen. A company called OLX: Buy and Sell Near You is a major e-commerce platform.

The iOS app has a consent screen that looks like this:

The Google OAuth consent screen for an app called OLX has a privacy policy and a terms of service link. Neither link works. Instead of taking the user to valid pages - or even 404 pages - the user just goes for a sort of loop.

The link to that particular consent screen can be found here


The "privacy policy" and "terms of service" links on this Google OAuth consent screen do not work. They do not lead to either valid privacy policies or terms of service. Nor do they link to 404 pages. Instead they just loop the end user back into a web version of the app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and launch the OLX: Pakistan app for iOS

2. From the "Log in to your OLX account" screen, select "Log in with Google"

3. From the "OLX Pakistan" prompt, select "Continue"

4. From the Google OAuth consent screen, select either "privacy policy" or "terms of service"

Result: The "privacy policy" and "terms of service" links on the Google OAuth consent screen for the OLX: Pakistan app do not work. They do not take the user to either valid privacy policies or terms of service - nor do they take the user to a 404 page

Expected: The "privacy policy" and "terms of service" links on the Google OAuth consent screen should take the user to valid privacy policies or terms of service 


From the "Create a new OLX account" screen, select "Join with Google"

Select the "Continue" option...

The "privacy policy" and "terms of service" links do NOT work.
