After successfully sign up an account with the mobile app, the app redirect the user to the BaiBai Web homepage instead of the Nearby mobile app page. Test device used: HTC Sense Version 3.6 with Android 4.0.3.

    Honestly I do not see the point in this. It creates a lot of problems from a UX & code perspective.

    If the intent is to create an attractive landing page as opposed to redirecting straight to the newsfeed, it should be thought over as it is an extra step for the user, and if done, it should be only in the mobile application.

    Sorry, didn't realize it was a bug report, so I re-worded the title. :)

    I'll check that out. By the way, redirecting the user to the nearby ads page after signing up by email is both not possible and not desired from a security perspective, so that will not be part of the solution. We must verify the user's e-mail address first, just like the web signup flow.

    The quickest way to solve this, is to check the URL after the user signs up. Something like that is already done to get the oauth authorization code. Either way we will dismiss the web view and show a message to tell the user they need to check their email.
