AuthSession fails to redirect back to Android Standalone app

See original GitHub issue

Doing an auth session on an android standalone app does not redirect back to the app. I have defined my scheme in app.json. On an iOS standalone auth session works perfectly fine.

It is also worth noting that I’ve tried detaching but then I encountered this exact same issue: https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/880. This issue might be related to that but I’m creating this issue in case this is a different one.

I’m hoping you could add this fix for SDK 27 as this auth session is an important aspect of our app!

Environment

Environment: OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 Node: 6.11.0 Yarn: Not Found npm: 3.10.10 Watchman: 4.7.0 Xcode: Xcode 9.3 Build version 9E145 Android Studio: 3.1 AI-173.4670197

Packages: (wanted => installed) expo: ^26.0.0 => 26.0.0 react: 16.3.0-alpha.1 => 16.3.0-alpha.1 react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-26.0.0.tar.gz => 0.54.2

Diagnostics report: https://exp-xde-diagnostics.s3.amazonaws.com/nupixo-122d8e85-2632-435a-a67b-1638914677ab.tar.gz

Steps to Reproduce

Fork this repo: https://github.com/expo/auth0-example
Make sure you have Auth0 client set up
Make sure you define a scheme in app.json
Change the redirect url to the defined scheme in app.json
exp build:android
Once installed, open the app
Login with Auth0, a browser should open and an auth session should initiate
Sign in with valid credentials

Expected Behavior

User gets successfully authenticated. AuthSession browser window will get closed and redirect back to the app.

Actual Behavior

Browser window does not get closed and does not redirect back to the app.

Reproducible Demo

A good reproducible demo is expo’s own example: https://github.com/expo/auth0-example but try building an android standalone apk

Hi @esamelson @brentvatne seems like this is still not fixed. I tried this with the same steps above but still it doesn’t redirect back successfully. Can this issue be re-opened please thanks!

@felipefs93 The work around that I did was to just implement the WebBrowser redirect manually. Pretty much the same thing here: https://github.com/expo/examples/blob/master/with-webbrowser-redirect/app/App.js

But the last time I checked this AuthSession issue I have was never resolved. Not sure for others
