Installation URL for Google Apps Marketplace (GAMv2) not redirected

I created a test list for the Google Apps Marketplace (GAMv2) and provided the configuration URL. When testing with the "TEST INSTALL FLOW" button, the authorization screen opens and pressing the "Accept" button leads to a pop-up window confirming the addition of the application. On this second pop-up window there is a button “Launch application” and a link “Manage application”. The Run Application button goes to the configuration URL that I entered in the list definition.

Shouldn't the installation thread be redirected there automatically? I saw other issues in which this behavior works on and off:

There's also this page in the market documentation that says it should redirect: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/marketplace/eap/oauthwalkthrough

Do other people have this problem?

In v1 on the market, yes, installation links were automatically included in the linear installation stream. In the new installation thread, customized links are presented separately. They are presented to users, but there is no guarantee that the user will click on it. Even in V1, there were times when a user could bypass the installation link.

There are some improvements that can be made to encourage administrators to reconsider a setting if they missed it. In any case, applications should be tolerant of these cases and adapt.

My recommendation is to check the login and enter the installation stream, if it has not already been completed. You can use the licensing API to check if a domain is installed from the market or not. If you need to perform actions such as the required administrator permissions, you can add additional checks to find out if the current user is an administrator for the domain and give non-administrator users a polite message that the application is not yet ready for use.
