What happened to seamless auth integrations with expo apps?
I'm using the expo-router and supabase. I want to implement google auth and I have two options:

1. expo-auth-session : the docs are not up to date, for implementing google auth with supabase the docs refer to the supabase docs which uses react-native-google-signin.

2. react-native-google-signin : the free/original version will be deprecated in 2025 so there's no point of using this and I do not want to use their paid version.

What should I do?

Expo on their page wants us to use expo-auth-session over expo-google-app-auth.

But,

• The expo-auth-session flow throws an ugly / scammy looking alert to the user before going into the google auth flow in an external browser, after showing a browser selection. Users are likely to drop off at this point itself, this is bad UX.

• expo-google-app-auth doesn't do this, it seems to load what looks like a webiew inline and shows a clean google account selection screen.

• However if you ignore this deprecation and continue using expo-google-app-auth, there is a runtime warning like "Deprecated: You will need to use expo-google-sign-in to do server side authentication outside of the Expo client" which I find confusing. Don't you have to do server side authentication (if you need to) regardless of which solution you use?

Thoughts around this? If you use the expo managed workflow, which one did you pick? I am at a bit of a dilemma...

I've been trying to set up google oauth for the android version of the application that I'm building. Below you will find a code snippet of the initial set up that I had. I have gone through several iterations of how I've been setting up the code to work with the android version however the error that I keep getting is a URI redirect mismatch. I understand what the error means but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

In the google developers console in the android section, there are 3 inputs where I can enter information.

name: this doesn't matter AFAIK
Package.name: I've tried to set this either the scheme in my app.json or the android.package name
SHA-1 Fingerprint certificate: I got this value from doing eas credentials.

I'm fairly certain that I'm screwing up the package.name input.

App.json scheme: com.john-doe.mobile-client

android.package: com.john-doe.appname_android

Im going to make the scheme and the package name the same then will rebuild. I will probably need to update the sha-1 fingerprint certificate also after a rebuild. Once the build is done I'll come back to update this but I'm honestly stumped.

import { useAuthRequest } from "expo-auth-session/providers/google";

WebBrowser.maybeCompleteAuthSession();
const [request, response, promptAsync] = useAuthRequest({
        androidClientId:
            "myadroid-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        iosClientId:
            "myios-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    });

    // refactor this to not use useEfffect.
    useEffect(() => {
        if (response?.type === "success") {
            const { authentication } = response;
            const accessToken = authentication?.accessToken;

            if (accessToken) {
                saveAuthToken(accessToken)
                    .then(() => refreshSession())
                    .then(() => router.push("/"))
                    .catch((error) => {
                        console.error("Error saving token:", error);
                    });
            }
        }
    }, [response]);
