Authorization fails with error message "Errir: Error not specified"

Issue

When calling authorize, it raises an exception which, when printed to the console, only shows: Error: Error not specified.

Any idea what might cause this? I wonder if this error is even raised from this library, since I could not find “not specified” error message in the code. It feels like the system fails to open the Android web view component or something?

EDIT: It seems that this error can happen if the user does not have Android web view or any web browsers installed. However, the user who is having this issue, has Chrome installed and web view enabled. Also, web view works in other applications.

We needed to add to our app android manifest:

<manifest>
...
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
            <data android:scheme="https" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
</manifest>

I also tried the solution mentioned by @ball-hayden, but calling ‘autorize’ returns exc Error not specified.
