Title: Codex mobile pairing QR opens ChatGPT Android app but pairing never completes; desktop remains stuck on QR screen

Product: Codex desktop app + ChatGPT Android app / Codex mobile preview

Desktop environment:

  • Codex desktop app version: 26.513.31313
  • Codex desktop build: 2867
  • Bundle ID: com.openai.codex
  • OS: macOS 15.6.1
  • OS build: 24G90

Mobile environment:

  • Device: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
  • OS: Android
  • App: ChatGPT Android app
  • ChatGPT Android app version: 1.2026.125, Updated May 8, no latest update available
  • Account/workspace: Same ChatGPT account as desktop Codex

Issue: When attempting to use Codex mobile from the Codex desktop app, the desktop shows a QR code. Scanning the QR code on Android opens the ChatGPT mobile app, but the mobile app only shows a screen saying to follow the instructions on desktop. The desktop app does not show any additional instructions and remains on the QR code screen. This creates a dead-end pairing flow.
