Research direction

Start by reading the SC.Connect() flow and callback.html, then reproduce the iPhone 6 case with the SoundCloud app installed. Review the documented iframe workaround and its interaction with X-Frame-Options; done means the callback can close its window and return control to the original webapp.

Description

(iphone 6 only)
On iOS if you have the soundcloud app installed, you can't connect soundcloud on webapps:
The app open every soundcloud urls before eventually redirecting it, thus the window.opener of callback.html represents the app and not your initial window.

I Fixed it doing the auth manually and passing through an iframe to avoid the opening of the app

It seems you just set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN', the iframe workaround is not working anynore...
