Overview
Sometimes when users attempt to launch Harmonize from a Canvas course, especially from iOS devices like iPhones and iPads, Canvas will return an error message like the following:
LTI Platform Launch Error: 'login_required'
This is due to a bug in the Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher apps on iOS. We recommend using Safari on your iOS device or using a desktop or laptop device to access your course in Canvas and open your Harmonize discussions until Canvas is able to resolve this bug.
