This is expected behavior since the desktop device wouldn't have a receipt. I don't think there's any path for the user to get to that screen on desktop anyhow, though, right?

The only scenario I could imagine them getting there is if the user tried to use Apple Handoff at that screen.

Yeah, this isn't part of a real flow - it's contrived but wanted to get it logged, just in case.

Thanks for logging 😄 I'll close as wontfix for now... but if we want to address this, we can probably have a better error on the account.brave.com side (ex: are you on the device you purchased the subscription on?)
