Is there any way to avoid entering my linkedin email and password if I have the linkedin app installed and running ? it’s possible to do it using the iOS linkedin sdk (https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/ios-sdk-auth) but I don’t know if I can do it using only webBrowser module (without implementing the linkedin sdk)
No, I didn’t succeed to do it without detaching my expo app. The only way to make it work requires the Expo team to implement Linkedin SDK on iOS & Android for non detached apps (like what they did for facebook auth).
@nirpeled@botmane we are working on a thing that will let you add more obscure modules like linkedin sign-in. @botmane is correct though, right now you will need to detach. It’s not too scary and everything works as usual for the most part. If you aren’t on a mac this could be problamatic
Thanks @bacon - I ended up detaching a few months ago anyway b/c I needed some other 3rd party integrations. With that said the Linkedin SDK for React Native (I’m using react-native-linkedin-sdk) is very limited, for example - it won’t allow opening the Linkedin app if available on the phone which gives a bad UX to users.
I know that Linkedin is the one to blame here for giving a bad SDK and therefore I was hoping that Expo might have a workaround for this
