Is this a glitch? final mission impossible to complete!

So I'm at the final mission and got to outside of the big hall where the final battle with the 3 avatar takes place. I killed all the enemies but the cutscene was not triggered where you get teleported inside to fight the final battle.

I got to the door and it can't be opened. I figured I must have missed a pod of enemies so I sent my guys back all the way to the beginning of that map looking for missed enemies, but there are none.

Any ideas of what might be the problem?

I had this happen when a pod activation teleported one of the mechs under the map somewhere.

I ran laps of the whole map (Ironman so no way of loading to before the activation) but no way of resolving.

I used all my AOE damage on my own avatar and failed the mission - which allowed me to restart the final mission from the beginning.

Had this problem recently with the android version of Xcom enemy within. Not sure of a fix I was so frustrated I havent touched it since.

I was sick of that game anyway, just wanted to finish it and start a new one. Guess I'll just abandon it.

But it is a fucking shame to quit right outside the final battle.

They made it like this so people will have to fight the final battle inside that last big room.

I used to employ this trick where I would send in my fastest guy and trigger the first avatar, then run back out through the door. Outside was my squad all behind cover waiting!

That door/corridor acted like a bottleneck and it was a massacre! They all kept coming and kept getting smoked.

I'm just saying, if that fucking door wasn't "locked" I could go in there and fight the battle, even without killing all the aliens on the outside.
