It’s probably using WebView, or whatever it’s called where an android app brings up a browser window. If you have Firefox as your default web browser, apps will use it instead of chrome. It’s usually pretty nice, because if you have adblock in Firefox you also get adblock in the app.
It’s possible that the sign-in webpage wants to talk to the camera before returning control to the app.
At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.
The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!
