Codex mobile pairing state becomes unrecoverable after connecting one iPhone to multiple Mac desktop hosts #23090

Closed

Description

@Q-rm

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.513.31313

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

Assuming that there would be different selectables for different devices, since the Codex app repositories are not synced on the cloud and each has its own project. Simultaneous login for both the QR codes resulted in a weird changing state(every time I open connections the devices randomly change). Unfortunately, because the mobile app has no session deletion for the desktop app syncs, unlike the SSH ones, I am stuck with a session issue.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Not reproducable from my end. Requires to qr scan both devices in a short interval I would assume.

What is the expected behavior?

Expected behaviourwould be that there are 2 different device names to be selected from(or n) and once you select one you have access to the worskpace content.

Additional information

Obviously all relogging/logging out of all devices and app reinstalling has been done. With no success

    Not the same issue, but the resolution to
    #22950
    would theoretically solve this one too. So closing the issue as the previous one has more detailed information
