[Bug]: Switching networks on the UI does not work consistently

[brad-za]

Describe the bug

When there are more than one networks, the connection approves all of them . Then when trying to sign a tx, if the network has been switched to a new one, for the first time, then metamask will open via the deeplink, it will show that its connected to the new network then show the tx to sign.

If we reject this tx and switch networks to something that metamask has already opened and confirmed, then the switching does not deeplink to metamask but the ui still changes. When trying to initiate a tx, metamask open, switches networks and then instantly goes back to the dapp, this doesn't sign the tx and doesn't throw an error, it just doesn't work.

Expected behavior

Metamask should either always deeplink when switching networks on mobile or it should handle the switching better and not kick back to the dapp so quickly.

Screenshots/Recordings

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. user connects with one network.
   metamask opens and approves all networks
2. user connects with the second network
   metamask opens to confirm new network
3. user switches back to the first network again
   metamask doesn't open as the network has already been confirmed, the ui does update and the new network is active
4. user tries to signs tx
5. deep links to metamask
   metamask opens to sign the tx, but switches networks and sends back to the dapp instead of switching then signing
6. metamask automatically returns to the dapp before the tx can be signed

Severity

This renders my whole dapp useless on mobile as the user cannot actually send and receive transactions on my multi chain dapp

Hi @brad-za

Can you please share a screen recording?

[brad-za]

What is the best way to do that? I think the file is too large

Hi @brad-za ! Is there a dapp we can test this on by ourselves? I'm assuming this happens while using WalletConnect/Reown, is this correct? If it is, can you try reproducing this issue using this dapp?

[brad-za]

@DanielTech21 yes. I've got a repo on my profile called reown where I have reproduced the problem.

I cannot get it to happen when using the renown lab.

I have also taken the video but don't know where to post it?
