Unable to "Login to Github" via phone browser #27

My android phone using the google chrome phone browser is unable to properly authenticate on a posts comments.

Upon clicking "login to github" the phone opens a new tab to login to github.
It than asks for authentication.
After permission is given the tab stays open, and the comments page is not updated to show that a user is logged in.

Does anyone else have this issue?
Is this issue present on iPhones?
Is this issue present on other browsers on android?

I use Chrome on Android and I have the same problem:

  1. I click "Login to GitHub" and authenticate in the new browser window/tab.
  2. Once I'm done, I see the redirect page and the original page does not reflect my authenticated status.

However, when I use Flynx, I am able to successfully log in.

This appears to be a browser-specific behavior :-S

When I use remote debugging for Android Chrome, I see this error message:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'postMessage' of null

Which tells me the line

window.opener.postMessage(eventData, targetOrigin);

does not work in that browser :-( If window.opener is null, there is nowhere for the redirect to send the message.
