Question about the callback activity

[GroovinChip]

<activity android:name="clancey.simpleauth.simpleauthflutter.SimpleAuthCallbackActivity" >
            <intent-filter android:label="simple_auth">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="com.googleusercontent.apps.992461286651-k3tsbcreniknqptanrugsetiimt0lkvo" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Is this what will take the user back to the app once they've authenticated? I'm trying to make my ap deep-linked so that when a user authorizes the app to connect to their GitHub account they get returned to the app rather than stay in the browser.

So some providers like google require a specific callback. But for things like Github, you can create your own. foo.githubcallback.myapp or really whatever string you want! Not sure if github requires specific callbacks. But if it does, you just register that as a callback foo.githubcallback.myapp://

I tried using a custom string (I used my app's package name) in both the githubApi object and in the settings for my GitHub Oauth app. I got errors in the console like that. Any suggestions?

[Clancey]

Can you paste the console output?

Code:

  final simpleAuth.GithubApi githubApi = simpleAuth.GithubApi(
    "github", "***",
    "***",
    "com.groovinchip.fluttercommunitychallenges://",
    scopes: [
      "user",
      "repo",
      "public_repo",
    ],
  );

Does this happen when the UI is presented? Or after you login?

[GroovinChip]

it happens when I tap a button to log in

[GroovinChip]

Basically the button is supposed to launch the GitHub authorization, and once the app is authorize a FirebaseUser will be created with user information that returns. Haven't implemented that yet.

[Clancey]

My mistake on the redirect com.groovinchip.fluttercommunitychallenges:/ only one / vs //

[GroovinChip]

now a blank webpage shows up instead of the github authentication, so weird. Do I only use com.groovinchip.fluttercommunitychallenges:/ in my application or on the github side as well? Or vice versa?

[Clancey]

That shouldn't matter. Blank page cloud be internet issue. I tested on my emulator and I got the log in page even with bogus data

[GroovinChip]

What's your backend configuration though? Do you use the same string from the code on the github side of things?
