chainChanged event not detected with WalletConnect

[RiccardoBiosas]

When using metamask through the web3Modal walletconnect provider, if I change the network on metamask after successfully connecting to the dapp the client does not appear to detect the chainChanged event.

// Subscribe to chainId change
provider.on("chainChanged", (chainId: number) => {
  console.log(chainId);
});

I have tried networkChanged event too, but it only works when I change my wallet address and always gives undefined value.
If anyone know any solution can you please help.

connector.on("session_update", () => {}); doesn't work also

Looks like it's a MetaMask's problem.

In Test WalletConnect Wallet it works

Do you use ethers or web3js?

The web3js seems to have the events, but not ethers

We are using web3js

With stable version 2.0.0 of Web3Modal now released, we are officially dropping support for version 1.x
Due to this this issue/pr was marked for closing. It is highly recommended to upgrade as 2.x will be receiving further updates that will enable functionality for some of our newer sdks like auth and push as well as support for WalletConnect v2 (See this post about WalletConnect v1 being deprecated https://medium.com/walletconnect/walletconnect-v1-0-sunset-notice-and-migration-schedule-8af9d3720d2e)

If you need to continue using Web3Modal 1.x and require this feature/fix implemented, we suggest adding it via forking V1 branch.
