Venmo option not shown in Braintree Dropin on iOS

Issue description

The braintree dropin ui IOSv4 does not show the venmo payment option even though I followed the configuration docs at https://developers.braintreepayments.com/guides/venmo/client-side/ios/v4. Other payment options are shown and functional. I don't have the venmo app installed on the device, because on android it simply defaults to a webview if the app isn't installed so I assumed iOS would do the same. Now, however, after looking at the code in the repository I see this:

if (isVenmoAppInstalled || [BTDropInOverrides displayVenmoOption]) { [activePaymentOptions addObject:@(BTUIKPaymentOptionTypeVenmo)]; } Does the iOS sdk differ from the Android sdk here and require the venmo app to be installed on the device? The docs don't specify this, so I thought I'd ask for help here.

I launch the drop-in ui like this:

BTDropInRequest request = [[BTDropInRequest alloc] init]; BTDropInController dropIn = [[BTDropInController alloc] initWithAuthorization:clientTokenOrTokenizationKey request:request handler:^(BTDropInController _Nonnull controller, BTDropInResult _Nullable result, NSError * _Nullable error) {

Thanks!

Can you explain what you mean by the Android SDK using a webview if the Venmo app is not installed?

According to this snippet, it shouldn't:

https://github.com/braintree/braintree_android/blob/0eb267a56f24dd3875ddf058ae2b90db0e79c91d/Braintree/src/main/java/com/braintreepayments/api/Venmo.java#L127-L129

As far as I know, the Venmo app needs to be installed for either Android or iOS SDKs.

Interesting... let me double check. I was under the impression that it worked on android without the venmo app installed. However, if the intended behavior is to have the app installed then i'll close this issue. I thought it was supposed to work without.

Is there confusing documentation somewhere that suggests that? Can you post a link?

[deekay42]

The documentation is unclear about this. There is no explicit mention on whether it does app-switching or runs in a webview, at least as far as I can tell. For example, paypal will run in a webview if the paypal app is not installed. For consistency I assumed venmo would do the same.

Nothing happens when I click on Venmo option if Venmo isn't installed
