Expo browser redirects to login with a linkedin company page url

Hi,

when navigating Expo Web Browser to a Linkedin company page (with public URL such as https://www.linkedin.com/company/my-company), I’m being redirected to Linkedin’s login page.

If navigating to the same url on mobile or desktop in Chrome incognito mode (not logged into Linkedin), the url works fine, taking me to the page. But for some reason, opening in Expo Web Browser using:

WebBrowser.openBrowserAsync(
                    "https://www.linkedin.com/company/my-company"
                  );

…always redirects to login.

Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks

Hey @gmh, this seems odd and unintended. Can you let me know what SDK version you are running, as well as what platform(s) this is occurring on?

Cheers,
Adam

Hey @adamjnav I’m running SDK 41 and it’s occurring on iOS. I haven’t tested on Android. I already switched to using Expo Linking as a workaround but it would be good to know why this is happening as I prefer to keep the browser in app.
