Appsheet Apps present web login page when it's un-necessary (already logged in)

I can reliably reproduce some strange behaviour as follows…

I have 4 Appsheet App Shortcuts on my phone: Let’s call them A, B, C and D

I’m using all of them by being logged in with my @hotmail account

A, C and D startup fine and the menu shows that I’m using my @hotmail account

B runs fine, however it always first shows me the signin screen below no matter how many times I log in using my @hotmail.com credentials.

I choose Microsoft and login as me@hotmail.com. The App (B) then works fine.

If I start up any of the other Apps (A,C or D), they work fine without presenting the above signin page. However if I open the menu I can see I’m logged in as me@hotmail.com

If I then exit A,C or D and startup B again … I get the signin page again.

If I startup A, C or D and then from within those Apps navigate to the menu and to my Shared Apps, I can see B, click it and it opens fine without presenting the signin page.

What is really wierd is that a few days ago, App C was displaying this behaviour and App B was running straight away when I clicked the shortcut. Told you it was wierd!

So here’s the question:
What causes this behaviour? (please resist the temptation to suggest it’s related to Google OAuth changes. No really … I’m using the Apps as me@hotmail.com.

Background info

  • I’m using all these Apps signed in with a hotmail account (like me@hotmail.com)
  • All the Apps have the same Google author (me on another account like me@google.com)
  • Apps A, B and C use a spreadsheet belonging to “me@google.com
  • App D uses a spreadsheet owned by me@hotmail.com
  • All the Apps have the same data settings as below:
