GoogleAuth works on Web but does not on ExpoGo

Expo Development Tools
1

Hello,
I was following the https://docs.expo.io/guides/authentication/#google

I went with ‘firebase implementation’.

I copied that 1:1 (I had to add HTTP instead of HTTPS to googleCloud URLS), and run with ‘expo init’.
When I signIn in web browser under http ://localhost.19002, popup shows and I am correctly logged.

However when I try to run it on expo Go, I immediately get error after clicking signButton.

Hey @lunada, as the docs state, this is expected behavior. This is due to the fact that you can not customize the scheme for the standard Expo Go application.

Cheers,

Hello @adamjnav,
now I am confused. Dock states that:

Instead you must use web login during development.

and that is exactly what I have done in my code.
My implementation is similar to one inside ‘firebase’ section just under web apps section: https://docs.expo.io/guides/authentication/#web-apps

I also have added following code to app.json:

"expo": {
    "scheme": "myAppName://"

It seems to work now (except google popup not being shown at all), but I don’t get why it was required at all and not mentioned in the guideline.
