disallowed_useragent for Google on Android 9

[perry-mitchell]

Issue

I've gotten everything working on iOS - Google OAuth2 authentication - but I'm getting Google's disallowed_useragent error on Android:

I'm using Android 9.0 in an emulator to test - If I test the same code on Android 8 the browser loads and I can authenticate, but the redirection is never captured or acknowledged.

It seems like the browser that is being launched is somehow broken/incorrect on Android 9?

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the base OS? For Android 8 I'm using the "Google APIs" emulator, and 9 I'm not.. the UI looks much more simplistic on 9 (I'm not usually an android user), so I'm wondering if it would work differently if a different browser was installed?

any solution?

[perry-mitchell]

@juanriglos I used react-native-google-signin instead, which seems to work for me. I think the general requirement is also that the OS has Google Play software installed.

Thank you perry so you ejected from expo. There is any other solution?

Hi 👋 - sorry for the late reply. I'm glad you managed to solve your issue.

As for Expo - in order to use this library, you'll have to eject because it includes native code.
