I have found the solution. Instead of connecting with “connect button”, use deep link:

await connector.createSession(); const encodedUri = encodeURIComponent(connector.uri); const href = 'https://metamask.app.link/wc?uri=${encodedUri}&target=_self'; //walletconnect use _blank window.location.href = href;

Walletconnect use target=_blank

We are also experiencing this issue in our own app. It has worked before
