I am having issue with WebBrowser.openAuthSessionAsync not opening on Android. We are using the webBrowser for user to login or create an account on the WebBrowser, but currently nothing open when I press on handlePressLoginAccount:

  const disabledDeepLinks = [
    'https://www.mydomain.com/app-login',
    'https://www.mydomain.com/app-signup'
  ];
const handlePressLoginAccount = async () => {
    const redirectUri = AuthSession.makeRedirectUri({ scheme: 'mtlblog' });
     console.log('Redirect URI:', redirectUri); 
    const loginAuthUrl = `https://www.mydomain.com/app-login?redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}`;
    const baseLoginUrl = loginAuthUrl.split('?')[0];

      try {
        let result;

        if (Platform.OS === 'android' && disabledDeepLinks.includes(baseLoginUrl)) {
          Alert.alert('android open webbrowser ' + 
disabledDeepLinks.includes(baseLoginUrl));
          result = await WebBrowser.openAuthSessionAsync(loginAuthUrl, redirectUri);
        } else {
          result = await WebBrowser.openAuthSessionAsync(loginAuthUrl, redirectUri);
        }

        console.log('Browser opened successfully', JSON.stringify(result));

        if (result.type === 'success' || result.url) {
          const { token, userId } = extractParams(result.url);
          if (token && userId) {
            await SecureStore.setItemAsync('token', token);
            await SecureStore.setItemAsync('userId', userId);
            setAuthenticated(true);
            setSkippedLoginUser(false);
          } else {
            console.log('Login Failed', 'No authentication data found.');
          }
        } else {
          console.log('Login Failed', 'Authentication was not completed.');
        }
      } catch (error) {
        console.log('Error', 'Failed to open web browser.');
        console.error('Failed to open web browser:', error);
      }
    };

We are not sure if this issue is due to how we configure the deep link for android:

"intentFilters": [
        {
          "action": "VIEW",
          "autoVerify": true,
          "data": [
            {
              "scheme": "https",
              "host": "www.mydomain.com",
              "pathPrefix": ""
            }
          ],
          "category": [
            "DEFAULT",
            "BROWSABLE"
          ]
        }
      ]

hi! Using the expo-web-browser package, I get this pop up when openAuthSessionAsync is called. Is there a way to prevent this? I understand why it's there, but terrible UX 🤣

I’m using Expo with React Native, and I have a login flow that opens an in-app browser using expo-web-browser.

Here’s what I’m doing:

• The user logs in via a web page inside the in-app browser.

• After a successful login, the web redirects to a URL like myapp://callback.

• When this redirect happens, I want the in-app browser to automatically close and return to the app.

I’m using WebBrowser.openAuthSessionAsync(authUrl, redirectUri).
This works perfectly on iOS — the browser closes automatically when the redirect happens.
But on Android, it stays open and never closes.

I realized my redirect URL (myapp://callback) is my app’s own scheme. Could that be the reason?
Is there a reliable way to handle this on Android - maybe by manually dismissing the browser?
