Should additional animations be shown *after* the first app-app transition?

On a new iOS device, when I try to open a special URL (app URL, universal link, or phone number), iOS will ask me if I want to "Open in X app"

enter image description here

When this occurs, a visual animation occurs that transitions from one app to another.

Sometimes, this visual transition is too much of a distraction, or irrelevant.

Question

  • Are there any visual techniques to minimize the transition to/from the apps?
  • Is there any visual technique I can use to "enhance" the transition, to show meaning in what's going on?

My case involves:

  1. AppA opens AppB using a universal link.
  2. AppB processes the URL parameters in the GET request of the link.
  3. AppB then redirects back to AppA

Assume that step two take almost no time (100ms). The result to the end user is a lot of transfers back and forth.

Is there any way to reduce or enhance the visual animation to that it is more relevant to my SSO action?
