Sign in with Google doesn't open app after sign-in

Browser Support Mobile Support

When I use Google sign in for an Android app, it logs in successfully in Brave, but then it doesn’t complete take me back to the app that originated the sign-in. If I close Brave, and go back to the app, the OAuth flow was left incomplete and I’m not signed in on the app.

  1. Brave is my default browser
  2. “Allow app links to open in apps outside Brave” is checked
  3. “Open external links in Brave” is not checked, but didn’t seem to make any difference.

This is the same issue as Brave on Android - Login for other apps fail.

Actually, this problem might be specific to the Dev Community (https://dev.to) app. I changed my default browser to Chrome and it still wasn’t working. It’s a WebView app.

I solved this by using a username/password login to the app instead of Google login.
