Auth0 Error Occurs When Launching Callback URL Without a Registered Handler
An Auth0 login implementation for an Ionic, Capacitor, and Angular application fails because the mobile operating system lacks the registered application identifier. Registering the application identifier on the operating system resolves the issue. The Ionic application displays an error message when it uses a callback URL in the format <appId>://<auth0Domain>/capacitor/<appId>/callback:
Failed to launch '{callbackUrl}' because the scheme does not have a registered handler
