I'm trying to implement google auth using expo-auth-session in expo-router and testing with an ios simulator but it's not opening the google consent screen and giving this connection lost error.
When I open any site on the safari it works fine. Therefore, I think the issue is with the expo-auth-session which uses expo-web browser to open web pages.
Is anyone else facing this issue?
you can use the following library react-native-inappbrowser
follow the installation from the github page
import { Linking } from 'react-native'
import InAppBrowser from 'react-native-inappbrowser-reborn'
...
async openLink() {
try {
const url = 'https://www.google.com'
if (await InAppBrowser.isAvailable()) {
const result = await InAppBrowser.open(url, {
// iOS Properties
dismissButtonStyle: 'cancel',
preferredBarTintColor: '#453AA4',
preferredControlTintColor: 'white',
readerMode: false,
animated: true,
modalPresentationStyle: 'overFullScreen',
modalTransitionStyle: 'partialCurl',
modalEnabled: true,
// Android Properties
showTitle: true,
toolbarColor: '#6200EE',
secondaryToolbarColor: 'black',
enableUrlBarHiding: true,
enableDefaultShare: true,
forceCloseOnRedirection: false,
// Specify full animation resource identifier(package:anim/name)
// or only resource name(in case of animation bundled with app).
animations: {
startEnter: 'slide_in_right',
startExit: 'slide_out_left',
endEnter: 'slide_in_left',
endExit: 'slide_out_right'
},
headers: {
'my-custom-header': 'my custom header value'
},
waitForRedirectDelay: 0
})
Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(result))
}
else Linking.openURL(url)
} catch (error) {
Alert.alert(error.message)
}
}
...
you can check the example app here
for expo it becomes little bit complicated please check the related tutorial by Medium
if you want reading mode in ios please refer this link

The expo-web-browser package opens an in app browser.
This worked for me with expo. I tried react-native-inappbrowser-reborn first, but isAvailable() was throwing an error.
import * as WebBrowser from 'expo-web-browser'
...
WebBrowser.openBrowserAsync(url, {showTitle: true})
It is no longer supported.
Update July 25, 2022: [email protected] has been released with the web UI removed. The last release to include the web UI is [email protected].

To fix, launch expo directly as follows supplying the localhost option:
expo start —-localhost
See Expo CLI docs for expo start:
--localhost Same as --host localhost
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 🤣
