Yes, you can use the redirect_uri option for this. The redirect URI you supply doesn't actually need to be an HTML web page. You should use the PKCE option, and use a redirect URI that goes directly to your app, e.g., by using a custom URL scheme that you register for your app.

We access /oauth2/authorize in the app. The system browser is displayed. After the authorization is successful, we needs to redirect to the HTML page written by the us and then start the app on the page. shows the process is app --> system browser --> HTML page --> app. In this scenario, the app is running in the background. Is there any way to return the app after the authorization is successful ? The entire process is as follows: app --> System browser authorization --> After the authorization is successful, back to app . Omit the HTML developed by us start the app page. Greg-DB Thanks

thanks.
we used Custom URI scheme solved the problem. eg: com.example.app:redirect_uri_path. AppLink requires an HTML page to jump to start the app. However, the deeplink can directly start the app using the Custom URI scheme. The HTML page is omitted.
