[TN-290] [URGENT] RN Login not opening success URL after usual login flow

[bastian-purrer]

See video, recorded in Helio app on 22 July 2024.

THis is a recurring user, not a new user for the Helio app.

Current behavior: After logging in, the user is seeing the "Success" notification, but is not logged in.

Expected behavior: Log the user in

Current State

The issue stems from the fact that the source does not persist when calling the weblogin or the wrong source is set in the web login url. The source determines which urls to call as the redirect url.

• If the source is web, the redirect urls set on the developer console are called
• If the source is mobile, the deep link url is called.

How does the app know if it is mobile or web?

the source is determined from s parameter in the web login url.

• If the s parameter is w, the source is from the web
• If the s parameter is m, the source is from a mobile app

Proposed Plan

There are 3 places to check: the React Native SDK, the Core and the Weblogin

• On the React Native SDK, we need to make sure the source is set to mobile when getting the web login url.
• On the Web Login, we need to make sure the right source is used when communicating with the core, and the source is persistent when navigating to another page.
• On the Core, we need to make sure the getRedirectUrl() function gets the correct source for each API call from the web login.

Aug 12: Short-term: Client is testing deepllink solution If it works, we need to define a bigger project to separate mobile links (???)
