Expo web app does not work on Safari UIWebView as Viva Connect app (browser: Mobile Safari UI/WKWebView)

Hi,

I am trying to understand why my app (react native that uses expo-router to render on web) does not redirect to the /sign-in page and stays in loading.

I tested it on all browsers and it works as expected, but when it renders as VIVA Connection app on iPhone inside a webview it doesn't. :(

Any idea how to debug and fix the issue?

Best regards,

Dimitrios

    Hey Dimitrios, I’ve seen this happen before with Expo apps inside iOS WebViews. Safari’s WebView can block redirects sometimes. Try debugging with Safari’s remote inspector and check if cookies or local storage are causing issues. Sometimes a full reload or tweaking navigation helps. Hope this helps!
