I’m working on integrating Google Calendar OAuth into my React Native app using Expo, and I’m running into an issue where the redirect URI returned by makeRedirectUri({ useProxy: true }) is wrong — it’s always exp://127.0.0.1:8081, even though I’m expecting the Expo proxy URI (e.g. https://auth.expo.io/@username/myapp) to be returned.

I’ve been debugging this for hours and would really appreciate any advice or insight.

Some Context:

I’m using expo-auth-session version ~5.5.2 My app is built with Expo Router and uses OAuth to Google Calendar I want to allow users to connect their Google Calendar and add events from our app I’m using web-based OAuth, not direct sign-in or server-side flows Running locally via expo & Android studio

This is my code snippet:

import { makeRedirectUri, useAuthRequest, ResponseType } from 'expo-auth-session'; import * as WebBrowser from 'expo-web-browser'; import { useEffect } from 'react'; import config from '@/config';

WebBrowser.maybeCompleteAuthSession();

const discovery = { authorizationEndpoint: 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth', tokenEndpoint: 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', };

export function useGoogleAuth() { const redirectUri = makeRedirectUri({ useProxy: true, scheme: 'my app name', });

console.log('[useGoogleAuth] redirectUri =', redirectUri);

const [request, response, promptAsync] = useAuthRequest( { clientId: config.googleClientId, scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events'], redirectUri, responseType: ResponseType.Code, extraParams: { access_type: 'offline', prompt: 'consent', }, }, discovery );

useEffect(() => { console.log('[useGoogleAuth] response =', response); }, [response]);

return { promptAsync, request, response }; }

And yes I added authorized uris and authorized test users in Google cloud console.

I also added the redirect URI: https://auth.expo.io/@myusername/myapp to google.

My questions: • Why is makeRedirectUri({ useProxy: true }) still giving me exp://127.0.0.1:8081? • Is there some config I’m missing in app.json, expo-router, or somewhere else? • Should I upgrade expo-auth-session or use a different method to get the correct proxy URI?

Thanks

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?

Hello,

I hope someone can help with this expo issue.

I am trying to use the expo-auth-session to implement SSO with Facebook and getting the following message. Looking at the URL, it seems like it's able to retrieve the access_token from Facebook but something is throwing it off...

I saw a couple of articles on this error and they suggest to use the proxy parameter. But this field was obsolete and removed from the version i am using...

anybody has any idea what's going on??
