How can I manually add a credential for an iOS app? When I tap "Bitwarden..." to autofill a password, it says "There are no items in your vault for the app". Then I click the "+" icon to add one and the URI field is automatically filled out with something like

http://localhost:8080/var/containers/Bundle/Application/CAFF654E-097E-4A62-BCEA-55F2E57DBD7E/Domotz%20PRO.app/www/index.html#/welcome

However, even after saving and then going back to the app to re-attempt login, BW again says "There are no items in your vault for the app". I guess the URI is not correct. How can we detect or determine the right URI?

This might be due to a bug that was recently fixed and should be available in the upcoming release in a few days. Stay tuned.

I just updated to v1.21.0 that came out today. Still seeing the same behavior. Anything else I need to do, or does this bug need some more digging?

I am not able to reproduce this issue. Does this happen on all websites or only a certain one?

Hmm you're right. It's definitely not affecting all apps. I guess maybe this is actually a bug with the app itself, that it's not declaring a URI. If I can gather more details I'll update here, otherwise I suppose we can close this.

I tried to save a password for the iOS app Synology DS File, URI was empty. Found the Bundle ID to be com.synology.dsfile but that didn't work as a filter.

Tried to save the password for the iOS app Canva, URL was filled out to https://www.canva.com I think indeed somehow apps should pass the URI but not all apps do. I also tried to manually just add "canva" but that didn't do the job either.

So I'd try adding the website as URI.

Should the scheme for an iOS app be iosapp://xxx... or app://xxx... ?

I ask because I was doing some cleanup in my vault, and I noticed some saved logins that were in this format, which seems wrong to me:

iosapp://app://com.foo.whateverApp
