Hi @DevToDipesh, please provide more details about how to reproduce this issue. A example repo will help.

@shantanu-deshmukh - I have integrated linkedin in my app but...

App got rejected from playstore for below reason.
Authentication via WebView

Your app performs authentication via WebViews, which leads to security and usability issues. Please see this Google Help Center article for details.
