Philips HUE app finds ha-bridge as HUE Bridge, but asks for me to press "the button in the center" to connect...

So, it does found ha-bridge correctly, but I can't proceed because I don't know how to simulate this "button in the center" press.

Does anyone had this problem before? any insight on how to proceed?

I tried to add it as a HUE Bridge V1 on the Alexa app, but that doesn't work... alexa can't find it.
To add in Alexa as a HUE Bridge V2, I need the Philips HUE app to add it successfully, but It never does because it requires me to "press the button in the center"... quite frustrating...

The ha-bridge is always in the push the button state. There is no testing against the philips hue app so I can't say it will work.

Same issue for me, would you please give the file where link is implemented ?

Philips doesn't use a new protocol (upnp ?) to link the hue ?

It's the same with me. The Philips HUe app did find the bridge, but asks to press a button. In third party apps, the bridge automatically connects.
