Dropbox custom URL scheme
I am developing an expo app. It needs to redirect back to the app after users have given authentication. When I was using expo go for basic testing this seemed to work fine but now that I am testing ...
So it fails the first check. Here are the guides i have been trying to follow:
https://docs.expo.dev/guides/linking/#linking-to-your-app
https://docs.expo.dev/guides/linking/
According to the documentation all I need is to put a scheme in the app.json file which I have done:
Here is a snippet from the app.json:
"expo": {
"scheme": "myapp",
}
Then I use this in my authtnetication script:
Here is how I build my redirect URI:
import * as AuthSession from 'expo-auth-session';
export function StartupAutheticationScreen() {
const dropboxRedirURI = AuthSession.makeRedirectUri({path: 'Auth'});
console.log(dropboxRedurURI)
The console.log outptus "myapp://Auth", Is there something I am missing? Thanks again for all your help?

In such case your application cannot be launched and that's why your browser "freezes". At that moment the browser does exactly what you did - tries open the same URI - unsuccessfully. To be honest, I'm not familiar with your environment and cannot say what exactly is wrong or if is what you say enough. The only fact is that, as seems (according your words), the application is NOT registered as a handler properly. You have to check and fix whatever needed. The only thing I would advise is to check if all parameters are available in end package (for example, in Android manifest have to be registered an activity with appropriate intent filter, that matches your scheme). That would be a good start point, for instance. 😉
Good luck.
