Release Channel & AuthSession Redirect Error %2F

Environment

Environment: OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Node: 8.9.1 Yarn: 1.3.2 npm: 5.6.0 Watchman: 4.7.0 Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b Android Studio: 2.2 AI-145.3360264

Packages: (wanted => installed) expo: ^25.0.0 => 25.0.0 react: 16.2.0 => 16.2.0 react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-25.0.0.tar.gz => 0.52.0

Diagnostics report: If the core team needs this information, I can provide it, but there are many strings contained within that are business sensitive.

Using Expo client, loading my app. Fails on Android 7. Works on iOS 11 and in iPhone iOS simulator.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup project to publish with release channel defined.
2. Create an authentication flow with the AuthSession.startAsync, and AuthSession.getRedirectUrl as the redirectUrl for the OAuth flow.
3. In the expo client, launch a release channel build of app, trigger authentication flow.
4. Complete authentication flow.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior is that it launches the web browser, shows our oauth flow, when done, successfully redirects back to the release channel specific Expo client app.

Actual Behavior

Authentication flow completes, but fails to redirect back to Expo client release channel app, and instead returns an error such as the following:

Could not load exp://exp.host/@username/app?release-channel=dev%2F

Reproducible Demo

I can make one if there is activity here requesting a demo.

This has been documented by another fellow on the forums. I wanted to make this issue for better tracking and visibility.

Thank you for the consideration.

…currently figuring out how to use a custom scheme to deep link back to the standalone app, havent successfully done so yet unfortunately. But will be sure to post when it seems to be working!
