Issue

Being redirected to localhost to singin in production environment.

Solution

• Once the build is deployed, find the url to which it is deployed example https://anavrin-git-mxiv-integrate-auth-midasxiv.vercel.app/ (make sure to pick a URL corresponding to your branch name so that it doesn't change on redeployment)
• Add the url as NEXTAUTH_URL env variable in project setting.
• Navigate to Google developer console, set the following depending on your deployment url
• Not entirely sure if this helps but Redeploy your app.
