Unremoved blank tab on redirect back to api.nango.dev on mobile

[henrymgarrett]

Hey team, hoping I can get some help on something we are seeing regarding Nango and universal links on iOS mobile. We are using @nangohq/frontend in a react app. The flow that currently is happening is:

1. User clicks "Connect" button in our webapp (this calls nango.auth) to connect to Garmin
2. A new blank tab is opened
3. If the user has the Garmin app installed on their phone, they are redirected directly to the Garmin mobile app
4. They complete the authorization flow
5. Garmin redirects them back to the browser (which seems to hit nango.dev ) but it is a redirection just to the blank tab from step (2), not our app.

How do I remove this blank tab, it is causing friction for our users, and dropoff on our signup journey. When the user does NOT have the Garmin app installed, they are correctly redirected to the Garmin web portal, and then back to our webapp. Thanks in advance!
