Social Authentication not working on Ionic | AWS Amplify | Page 1

I'm currently configuring authentication for my Android mobile app. However, when I try to proceed with Google sign-in, it seems to be using the callback URL of the App Web Client instead of the native app's URL. From my understanding, the app client pool should be dedicated to the mobile app. Despite setting up the deep link and verifying its functionality, the issue remains: AWS Cognito appears to be returning the callback URL of the App Web Client rather than the desired URL scheme of the app cleint .

Testing environment: Android Studio Device Emulator
Framework: Angular & Ionic

Deep link set up: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/app - DONE & WORKING

@pastel juniper :I'm utilizing deeplinks to manage URL callbacks from the Cognito flow for federated login and sign-up. Initially, I assumed that using the app_client pool was necessary; however, I discovered that this pool is intended for use with the SDK. In my situation, I'm relying on the pre-built authentication library provided by AWS Amplify, which directs users to a web browser. Consequently, the appropriate user pool to employ is app_clientWeb.

At present, I've managed to redirect users back to my application, but the authentication process is encountering issues. Specifically, it's failing to log in any users.

#

I'm not getting any user signed in upon getting back to my application

No offense but, is it urgent?

#

Can you give me 2 days?

#

I am very busy now

pastel juniper No offense but, is it urgent?

No , but thank you. it seems this is a common issue in building mobile apps apps and relying on aws auth library.

#

I'll share my discoveries here, in the hopes that they might be beneficial to anyone facing a similar situation.

#

Cognito's authentication mechanism doesn't capture the code or token upon users' return from a web browser to the application. Therefore, developers frequently need to devise a programmatic solution to address this scenario. They retrieve the URL data from the web browser's return to the application and subsequently process the information before incorporating it into the authentication library.

@pastel juniper I apologize I was busy last week. I've been looking for a solution for this for now. I've found some plugins that might help me authenticate on Webview.

#

I'm encountering an issue where the OAuth flow isn't functioning correctly within a WebView.
I've been looking for alternatives or ways to make oauth flow work for Social Sign in https://docs.amplify.aws/lib/auth/social/q/platform/js/

it seems I might need to resort to using third-party libraries, which I've been trying to avoid.
