For our GPT - signing in isn't prompted on the mobile apps (it works fine on Web)

Hey @tomking, that’s confusing, and you’re not the only one seeing web and mobile behave differently here.
Most likely, mobile isn’t surfacing the GPT Action OAuth sign-in challenge properly. For Actions, auth should be configured as OAuth in the GPT editor so ChatGPT shows the “Sign in to [domain]” flow. I wouldn’t rely on WWW-Authenticate alone to trigger login.
A few things to double-check:
- OAuth is configured in the GPT Action settings
- Both callback URLs are allowlisted:
chat.openai.com/aip/{GPT_ID}/oauth/callbackchatgpt.com/aip/{GPT_ID}/oauth/callback- Token response includes the expected fields like
access_token,token_type, and optionallyrefresh_token/expires_in
If all of that is set and mobile still only says “Stopped talking to api-url,” I’d treat it as a mobile client parity bug and open a support ticket with a repro.
