[QUESTION] Does Amplify.Auth.singInWithWebUI with google provider open a browser on android devices ?

[stMerlHin]

Hello everyone, I am wondering if calling Amplify.Auth.singInWithWebUI with google provider really opens A web view on android devices. I read the documentation and it seems like it really opens a web view. I'm just still in denial 😅 and I need an answer from someone who has already used this method on an Android device that has an active Google account or someone who knows exactly how it works to get me out of this phase. Otherwise, if this is indeed the case and Amplify.Auth.singInWithWebUI opens a web view, it will mean that the user will have to first authenticate in this webview first even though there would potentially already be a Google account saves to and active on the device.

What I would like to see when I call Amplify.Auth.singInWithWebUI on Android device with active google accounts 😅

A dialog with all previously registered google accounts.

Thanks.

Hello @stMerlHin, we will double check the implementation and get back to you with the requested details.

As a heads up we have an open feature request to display this account selection screen when only 1 account is logged rather then auto selecting the account.

Hello @stMerlHin, sorry for the delay, this issue was not appearing in our tracking tool.

Amplify.Auth.singInWithWebUI will produce a page similar to this on Android devices.

Hi @tyllark, thanks for the answer. I think I will close this now.
