Description
The /mobile command generates a QR code to continue a CLI session on the Claude mobile app. Scanning the QR code always redirects to the App Store page for the Claude app, even when the app is already installed and up to date.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
/mobilein Claude Code CLI - Scan the generated QR code with iPhone camera
- Tap the link — redirects to App Store instead of opening the session in the Claude app
Expected Behavior
The QR code link should deep-link into the Claude iOS app and open the active CLI session.
Actual Behavior
The link always opens the App Store listing for the Claude app, regardless of whether the app is installed.
Troubleshooting Attempted
- Confirmed Claude iOS app is installed and up to date
- Tried scanning with system camera
- Tried copying the URL and pasting into Safari
- Tried force-quitting and reopening the Claude app
- Regenerated the QR code with
/mobilemultiple times
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code CLI (latest)
- iOS (latest Claude app from App Store)

Additional detail: Claude iOS app version 1.260302.0 (updated 2 days ago, latest available). App is fully installed — App Store shows "Open" button. The QR code deep link still routes to the App Store listing instead of opening the session in the app.
iOS version: 26.4 (23E5223f) — this is a developer beta build.
