My web app is a Progressive Web App: [Progressive Web Apps &nbsp;|&nbsp; web.dev](https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/)

When I am using it and trying to authenticate through a social account. It redirects but does not actually authenticate. It works fine in the browser.

Below is a video of the issue:

As you can see using a progressive web app and accessing it by means of the home screen causes the redirect to not work properly to log in. I show at the end that it works fine via the Chrome browser.
