Powerapps URL link taking a user to a completely different app

so here is the scenario,

 

I have two apps:

 

1. A learning app - where I test formulas, etc. in a TEST environment

This is NOT shared with anyone

 

2. Stationery Stock app - in TEST Environment

This is NOT shared with anyone

 

3. A REGISTRATION app, fully functioning - In Default Environment

This is shared with everyone in my organization, works fine, and they can see and use all the necessary connectors

 

A user scans a QR code OR clicks a link to "REGISTRATION APP", but for some strange reason, it opens up my "learning app" and obviously has no access to it. Sensing they are wrong, they close the browser (tried both on pc and phone browser). When they reopen the link, it goes to the Registration app correctly. 

 

Why is this happening? Do I delete all my apps from the test environment?

    @junbecks ,

    Every app has a unique ID regardless of environment, so you might firstly check the QR code and the link against the ID of your Prod App.

    The ID's all checkout. And I know the link is "correct" because when they restart their browsers, and try the link again, hey presto, they get the correct app.

    It only happens when they click the link for the first time.

    @junbecks ,

    Sounds like something cached in the browser, although I have never seen an incorrect app opened. I don't think there is anything wrong with your code that you can fix.

    could be. I'm going to save and export all my apps in the Test environment, then delete them completely from the environment, and see if any new users are taken to my test apps.  Not a solution, but just to see whats going on.
