iOS 14.7: Mail App: App crashes if you exit out of Yahoo or Aol account creation and then return to the app

 iOS 14.7

Mail App for iOS

Date: 08/10/2021

Description:

This one is much easier to show than it is to describe. There is an extremely easy way to crash the native mail app.

Here's the crash dump:

This crash is easy to reproduce. It happens when the user first launches the native mail app for iOS. The mail app presents the user with multiple options. If the user selects either Yahoo or Aol. they will be presented with an option to use create a new Yahoo or Aol. account. If they exit out of account creation, and then re-launch the app, the app always seems to crash.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the native Mail app for iOS

2. From the "Welcome to Mail" screen select "yahoo!"

3. From the "Yahoo!" sign in page, select the "Create an account" option 

4. Press the home button to exit out the app

5. Wait 10 seconds and re-launch the app 

6. Select "Cancel" to dismiss the Yahoo! account creation option 

7. Wait 1 second - app crashes at "Welcome to Mail" screen

Result: There is an easy way to crash the native mail app - if you exit out of the app while it sits on the Yahoo! or Aol. account creation options, the app will crash if it is relaunched 

Expected: The native mail app shouldn't be this easy to crash

Select either "Yahoo!" or "Aol."

Select "Create an account"...

Exit out of the app - leave this screen...

Re-launch the Mail app after a while...

The app will crash after "Cancel" is selected. 

Native iPhone mail app: Yahoo and Aol account creation paths have dead Terms and Privacy Policy links

 iOS 14.7 on an iPhone 8

Mail App for iOS

Date: 08/10/2021

Description:

Here's an odd problem I just noticed. If you delete and then re-download the native iOS mail app, you will be presented with a screen like this after you launch the app:

As you can see, "yahoo!" and "Aol." are offered as default options to connect to the native mail app.

If you select either "yahoo!" or "Aol." there is also an option to create a new account. 

There are problems with the links displayed by Yahoo and Aol. that are accessible from this page. Both Yahoo and Aol. have an account creation path, where these links are presented:

The "Terms" and "Privacy Policy" links do not open when pressed. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Delete the native iPhone mail app

2. Re-download the native iPhone mail app

3. Launch the app

4. From the "Welcome to Mail" prompt select  "yahoo!" 

5. Select "Create an account"

6. Scroll down and select either "Terms" or "Privacy Policy"

Result: The "Terms" and "Privacy Policy" links do not work on either the Yahoo or Aol. account creation options accessible from the native mail app's "Welcome to Mail" page

Expected: Links to "Terms" and to a "Privacy Policy" for Yahoo and Aol. should always be accessible 

Re-download and launch the native iOS mail app...

Select either the "yahoo!" or "Aol." options on this screen...

Select the "Create an account' option...

Select either "Terms" or "Privacy Policy" - no access to either terms or privacy policies 

Facebook app for iOS: Canceling out of prompt after leaving the Previously Logged In screen strands user - certain apps!

 iOS 14.7

Facebook app for iOS (version 328.0)

Date: 07/27/21

Description:

There's a strange problem that I have started noticing with Facebook's login authorization process when accessed via a Facebook login for account creation in an iOS app.

This does NOT happen with all apps. I just spotted this with Flipboard and Etsy - and I assume that it happens with some other apps.

This leaves the user stranded inside the Facebook iOS app - and is really bad end-user experience. 

Take a look at Flipboard's "You previously logged in to Flipboard with Facebook" authorization screen. If the user cancels out of this page:

And then selects the "Cancel" option from this prompt:

The "Cancel" option in the upper left will disappear. This leaves the user...

Completely and totally stranded here. There doesn't appear to be any way to "Cancel" out of anything, and the user is forced to restart the Facebook app. This is a new problem, that I spotted with apps such as Flipboard and Etsy. I don't ever recall seeing this happen before.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have a Facebook account that has previously logged into Flipboard 

2. Download and launch the Flipboard app (version 4.2.111)

3.  Pick the three topics to follow and advance to the account login screen

4. Choose the "Continue with Facebook" prompt

5. From the "Flipboard wants to use Facebook" prompt select "Continue"

6. From the "Open in Facebook" prompt select "Open"

7. From the "You previously logged in" page select "Cancel"

8. From the "Facebook wants to open Flipboard" prompt select "Cancel"

9. Watch the "Cancel" in the upper left disappear 

Result: The user gets trapped on a page after canceling out of a Facebook authorization prompt - user is stuck with the Facebook app being unresponsive, cannot exit from a white screen

Expected: User should not be trapped 

Like I said: this seems to be happening with some apps - not all. 

They will now sometimes be stranded!

VRBO Vacation Rentals: iOS Share Sheet: Missing AirDrop icon

UPDATE:

I've checked this bug periodically over the years, and this finally looks fixed. 

 

iOS 14.7 on an iPhone 8

VRBO Vacation Rentals (version 2021.14)

Date: 07/26/21

Description:

Here's an odd problem that I don't believe that I have ever seen before. An app called VRBO Vacation Rentals is not displaying the icon for AirDrop in the iOS share sheet.

Take a look at these screenshots:

As you can see, the icon for the AirDrop is missing.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the VRBO Vacation Rentals app

2. Head to the detail page of any listing 

3. Select the share option 

4. From the iOS Share Sheet, notice that the icon for AirDrop is missing

Result: The icon/image for AirDrop is missing from the Share Sheet when it is activated by the VRBO Vacation Rentals app

Expected: The icon/image for AirDrop should always display - the iOS share sheet should never display a blank or missing icon 

Choose the share option from any listing inside of the VRBO Vacation Rentals app.

The image for AirDrop is missing. 

Note that the icon for AirDrop is missing.
