Not redirecting properly when using in-app browsers
-
Hello! Before anything, thanks for the plugin mate!
But recently I noticed some issues with in-app browsers, like the one on instagram, or even facebook. As you all know, these lite browsers can’t handle multiple windows, so the redirect to FB for authentication happens within the very same parent window (which is the only one so I don’t know why I’m calling it ‘parent’ haha).
The thing is that when authentication happens in FB side, once it redirects again to our site, it doesn’t log in the user at all. Same happens when registering. The user gets back to the WP site and is logged out.
With a common mobile browser there’s no problem at all, because it opens a second tab, but as I said, the problem lays only on this in-app browsers. Maybe it is because those little browsers (I guess those are not browsers at all, but web views) don’t support cookies.
Do you guys know if there’s any workaround for this? Or is a common problem that cannot be solve yet because the reduced capabilities of those so called in-app browsers? Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance! Stay safe everyone!
