Cordova Oauth Google SignInWithRedirect doesn't work on my android device

[poodogB]

I followed all the steps in https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/cordova and I checked with Ionic Lab, it worked fine but it doesn't work when I ran it on my real android device.
It redirect to localhost:8080 and I get "localhost refuse to connect ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
it works on android device If I use signinwithPopUp but it doesn't work on IOS so I wanna use Redirect for signing in method.
can anyone help me???

I set up config.xml, app.module.ts correctly I just don't understand it doesn't work when my app runs on real device.

There is a known issue in some iOS versions where if Cordova uses localhost instead of a file environment to serve the files, it stops working. The reason is because for localhost it is treated as a regular browser app, whereas in a file environment with cordova enabled, it relies on the Cordova plugins documented. This is likely the reason why this is happening. To get it to work at the moment, you need to make sure your Cordova app serves from a file:// environment instead of localhost. You may need to downgrade to an older version until this is fixed.

This was an issue for iOS only. It seems like Android now uses localhost too for some new versions of Cordova/Ionic.

You mean I have to downgrade my cordova? or cordova plugins?

[poodogB]

nevermind, Thank you so much I downgraded my Cordova to 7.0.1 and android platform to 6.2.3 and it worked
just curious on how the version will affect on my app, Is there any compatibility issue on old version of cordova with development???

You are right, remote devices shows the app under localhost:8080.
I am using ionic 3 (ionic cli 4.1.2 & cordova cli 8.0.0 & cordova platforms 7.0.0) and am facing the same issue. However sign in with popup also does not work due to 'invalid user agent'.

poodogB do I need to downagrade the ionic CLI to get it work?

When the issue possibly be resolved and what are other options? probably only ionic-native plugins for each of social login?

Removing cordova-plugin-ionic-webview makes the app to run on on file:// instead of localhost. However after sucessfull login with ex. google account in the browser there appears a button "continue to ". After clicking it, it justs changes the location callback url and nothing happens.

However even though it still doesn;t work, idk the negatives of removing that plugin?

I am really not sure about this.
But In my case,

• Android Simulator is ok
• but real device is fail

So, I changed firebase link settings in config.xml

• before

<universal-links>
        <host name="wonyong.page.link" scheme="https" />
        <host name="checkin.wonyong.net" scheme="https">
            <path url="/__/auth/callback" />
        </host>
</universal-links>

-after : I've changed hostname to firebase address instead my custom url.

<universal-links>
        <host name="wonyong.page.link" scheme="https" />
        <host name="kopologinchecker.firebaseapp.com" scheme="https">
            <path url="/__/auth/callback" />
        </host>
</universal-links>

After applying above, both simulator and real device success to oauth login.
For your reference, My Cordova version is 10.0.0 and android version is 9.
