Solution

Details on how to resolve this issue are detailed in How can I disable the login alert box?

  • Auth0.swift uses ASWebAuthenticationSession for web-based authentication (an Apple-based API). This API stores the session cookie in the shared Safari cookie jar, and according to Apple, this requires user consent.
  1. If Single Sign-On (SSO) is not required, use ephemeral sessions
  2. Use SFSafariViewController which requires a bit more setup but can support SSO
