App Marketplace – Fixed app-installation failures due to Ad-blockers

**Enhancement to Address App Installation Failures**

We have released an enhancement that addresses app installation failures due to Ad-blockers installed on users’ browsers.

**OAuth 2.0 Standards Followed**

App Marketplace follows OAuth 2.0 standards during app installation. As per this, the last step in the installation flow entails a redirect to the developer’s page to initiate token exchange.

**Issue with Ad-blockers**

Multiple instances of installation failure were reported because the ad-blocker on the user’s browser blocked the redirect. Hence, the auth-code that is required for generating access-token never reached the developer.

**Resolution Process**

When an ad-blocker blocks the redirect, this event is detected by the product and notified to the user. The user may then click on the button to trigger the auth-code transfer to the developer and hence complete the installation.
