Omniauth fails with invalid credentials only on iPhone Safari

Using 1.2.2 of Omniauth with Rails 4.1 - and all clients work perfectly with Google/Yahoo/LinkedIn - except iPhone Safari (iPad Safari works fine)

The error returned is always invalid_credentials and despite making dozens of changes relating to numerous google results/stack overflow threads/etc - I cannot find any way to get the iPhone to log in

The iPhone works fine in Chrome - only with Safari it fails

Our config is nothing more than provider :xyz, key, secret

We had HTTP BASIC authentication running on the site to keep it from public eyes for the moment

On all clients apart from the iPhone Safari this hadn't caused any issues - for some reason on iPhone Safari the request must have been processed differently, I suspect causing multiple requests to the site and triggering some kind of CSRF or authentication issue - by making a number of random changes I managed to get the error to be a CSRF error instead of an authentication error

Removing the HTTP BASIC authentication resolved.
