Auth-session leads to app refresh on Android 11

Steps to Reproduce

I don't see this behaviour on my other emulators (e.g. Pixel 2), so I'm assuming it's related to the emulator.

Expected Behavior

The oauth process should return to the emulator

Actual Behavior

It seems to open a new emulator window.

Reproducible Demo

Can't comment to how reproducible this is. I would so, give this specific emulator and Android config a go.

Can you provide a snack or code sample we can use to test the emulator?

I've tried a bunch of different things and cannot reproduce this error. Closing for now. Feel free to reopen if you find a reliable way to reproduce the error.

I can reproduce the bug when the application is published on a channel, for example expo publish --release-channel staging. I think this PR #7687 might fix it, but it seems expo-auth-session@1.3.1 is not compatible with expo@37.x.x.

from that thread @arnaud-zg:

this is available in expo-auth-session@1.0.1

Thanks @brentvatne, I'm currently using AuthSession.useAuthRequest, I guess it was introduced recently, so I need to use AuthSession.startAsync.

that should work as expected there as well - it works for me on https://github.com/brentvatne/hour-power - you can verify yourself by scanning the qr code at https://expo.io/@notbrent/hour-power?release-channel=lol and looking at the related code in the repo. (https://github.com/brentvatne/hour-power/blob/master/app/hooks/useSpotifyAuth.ts)

if you can provide a https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve and open a new issue we can look into it more!

Hey, I tried to reproduce the issue on a new project, but I can't. So maybe the problem comes from my app configuration (app.json).

After some publications and tests; I found the issue come from the expo client. On my home screen
I've created a shortcut of my app with the pin button. I guess the link wasn't valid anymore, I've deleted it and create a new shortcut. Now it works. 🥳
