PeteK.41876 (Customer) asked a question.
From my early review of the auth workflow, both in sample iOS apps and in some web searches, the auth Okta screen appears during the auth workflow. We dont want to see an Okta screen, to prevent end user confusion (keep all branding to be as is, non Okta UI's).

Hi Pete!
Unfortunately, that's as expected and right now there is no way to change that behavior, however, that sounds like an interesting feature that can be created by our engineering team. I would recommend submitting a feature request too by clicking the "help and training" link in your admin console, going to community and clicking the "ideas" tab there. This area is regularly monitored by our Product Management team and if they find the feature request is popular, they might consider it as part of the product road map. Also other Admins might find it useful and up vote it which greatly improves the time response.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'm glad to help.
All the best,
Mihail
From a mobile device, I want to authenticate a user for logging in, but just use an API. The demos I got for iOS would launch a browser window to login to OKTA, that is NOT what we want.
I have since found another demo iOS app, from Okta funny enough, that just has the user enter user id and password and it authenticates without launching the browser window – just an API call through the Okta SDK client – perfect – just what we want.
Now … I am trying to setup MFA that would require the user to get a code (SMS) and use that after logging in, say for the first time, for that MFA auth part. I have tried setting it up in the okta console but don’t think its working – don’t get an SMS MFA text.
