Admin links not working properly in mobile app

Extensions
1

Hi everyone,

I noticed an issue while using an embedded Shopify app with an Admin Links extension to navigate between the app and Shopify order details, specifically in the Shopify Mobile App (iOS/Android).

Flow:

  1. Open the app’s Orders page

  2. Click an order → navigates to Shopify Order Details page

  3. From there, click the Admin link to redirect back to the app (/orders?orderId=XXX)

  4. The app uses the orderId param to fetch the order and open an edit modal

Expected behavior:

  • App initializes normally

  • Order data is fetched

  • Edit modal opens with the correct data

Actual behavior (only in mobile app):

  • Modal opens immediately but gets stuck in a loading state

  • App’s usual initialization/loading phase appears to be skipped

  • Using the back action from the modal navigates back to the Shopify order page instead of the app’s orders page

Additional context:

  • This flow works as expected on desktop and mobile browsers

  • The issue occurs only within the Shopify Mobile App

  • It seems like the app is not fully reloading when navigating back, and only the URL is changing

Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a reliable way to handle this flow in the Shopify Mobile App?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
