Clicking shared Streamlit Cloud link shows “You do not have access,” but copy-pasting the URL works

Description
I’ve deployed an app to Streamlit Cloud and shared the generated URL with colleagues. When anyone clicks the link directly in their browser or in an email, they immediately see the error:

“You do not have access to this app or it does not exist

However, if they copy the exact same URL and paste it into the address bar of a fresh/incognito window, the app loads normally. This discrepancy happens on desktop browsers; on mobile it always opens fine. This is the app link: https://rectest.streamlit.app/

I’ve already verified:

  • The app is owned by my GitHub account (xuqingyu1999).*

What I’m looking for

  • Why does Streamlit Cloud require a different authentication flow when following a hyperlink versus manually entering the URL?
  • How can I configure my app or Streamlit settings so that clicking the shared link always opens the app, without needing to copy-paste or switch accounts?

Your link doesn’t wok for me either way.

sorry, I have solved the problem and delete this app, it turns out that I put the link in prolific but prolific will redirect the link if user direclty click the link, so I embed it in the text and it works fine.
