iOS Companion App has too short of a retry window to actually allow a login attempt

[Ethan-Dankiw]

iOS device model, version and app version
Model Name: iPhone 11
Software Version: iOS 26.2
App version: 2026.1.1 (2026.1652)

Home Assistant Core Version
2026.2.1

Describe the bug
Home Assistant iOS Companion app has a very short window to connect before showing the "You're Disconnected" page.

I have home assistant setup externally through a domain, managed through a cloudflare tunnel. This allows me to have a login screen setup using Zero Trust to prevent traffic from reaching the Home Assistant login page on the public internet. The issue is that I cannot login quick enough before the "You're Disconnected" page boots be away from being able to login.

To Reproduce
Have the "You're Disconnected" page showing.
Click retry.
Opens Cloudflare access page
Attempt to enter email
Wait for one-time code
Before I get an email with the one time code the "You're Disconnected" page shows invalidating the login attempt

Expected behavior
Have the retry attempt wait longer before forcing an attempt (possible configurable delay in the settings).

When you reach the "You're Disconnected" page there is an X button in the top right corner of the screen. If your on iOS 26 with liquid glass it can by difficult to see. When pressed, it should display your last login attempt.
