Chrome hangs on createAuth0Client

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem

createAuth0Client hangs in Chrome when loading for a user who is already logged in. It does not hang if there is no logged in user.

What was the expected behavior?

If there is a user logged in, the page should load immediately.

Reproduction

Use the test application in this repository: https://github.com/modeswitch/auth0-test-app

Fill in your own Auth0 details in plugins/auth0.js near the bottom (search for FIXME).
Run npm run dev in the top-level directory and navigate in Chrome (Beta) to the URL provided (should be http://localhost:3000).
Log in when prompted. You should be redirected to the demo page. I’ve added a sign out button to make testing easier.
Reload the page. You should now see a loading spinner. The app is waiting on createAuth0Client to finish.

The problem is not reproducible in Firefox and some earlier versions of Chrome as far as I’ve checked.

Environment

Please provide the following:

Version of auth0-spa-js used: v1.12.1
Which browsers have you tested in? Chrome Beta Version 86.0.4240.68 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on Fedora 31
Which framework are you using, if applicable (Angular, React, etc): Nuxt
Other modules/plugins/libraries that might be involved:

With that particular version of 86 I was still having it, but after upgrading to 87.0.4280.27 it seems to be resolved.

Looks like this is only an issue with 86.0.4240.68 - I’ve just run it on the latest Beta that got released on Monday 86.0.4240.75 and it seems to work fine.

I can’t see anything in the changelog that might have caused the issue 🤷
