Question

Hi got a little issue with our Android app on react native for a few days it can log in and get an access token but when refreshing it logs us out this is what we changed before it started to happen supertokens node ^8 5 0 + supertokens node ^9 2 3 in the same deployment we also set the cookieDomain to a wildcard to allow subdomains the weird thing is ios is fine

Hey

nkshah2 · Answer

What version of the react native SDK are you using

teebot · Answer

supertokens react native 3 0 7

nkshah2 · Answer

Out of curiosity does it still work for Android if you dont use the wildcard Just to rule it out

teebot · Answer

we re testing it now

teebot · Answer

by the way for testing convenience is it safe to set an access token validity of 60 secs

teebot · Answer

it s not going to invalidate an access token that was normally valid for one hour after 60sec

nkshah2 · Answer

Yep that should work just fine

teebot · Answer

ok I think we nailed down something interesting here on staging poppy red => refreshing works on android with a cookiedomain set to poppy red but on poppy red => refreshing will not work

teebot · Answer

ios works in all cases

teebot · Answer

we gave up on setting up that cookieDomain to be safe we re redeploying without it

nkshah2 · Answer

That is strange

teebot · Answer

instead we will reissue a set cookie from the other domain if we submit it a valid JWT

teebot · Answer

I can t find it in the doc anymore but how can we create a new session and do a set cookie on a custom endpoint and not with a framework middleware

nkshah2 · Answer

Ah right you would have to do it manually this depends on what framework you are using on your backend

nkshah2 · Answer

What version of react native are you using

teebot · Answer

0 66 3

teebot · Answer

maybe we misunderstood the cookieDomain use is a cookieDomain set to ` poppy red` supposed to work for both `example poppy red` and `poppy red` or only for the subdomain `example poppy red`

teebot · Answer

web framework is fastify

teebot · Answer

how can I issue a new session for a specific user

nkshah2 · Answer

Its supposed to work for both subdomains and the domain itself android has had issues with cookie logic being different that could be the reason

nkshah2 · Answer

What do you mean for a specific user

nkshah2 · Answer

What I mean is does that specific user need to perform some action or do you just want to create a session for them on your backend directly

teebot · Answer

what I m planning to do is open a webview from react native and transfer its authentication there that webview lives on a subdomain Even if it was in the same domain it does inherit a session cookie from the app so the workaround is pass the JWT to the webview Make the webview post the JWT to an endpoint verify the JWT and then issue a new Session Cookie for that subdomain

nkshah2 · Answer

Ah so that endpoint that gets sent the JWT would call `createNewSession` explained here https supertokens com docs session common customizations sessions new session

nkshah2 · Answer

I assume you have some identifier for the user and you want to do something custom when creating a session for that specific user

teebot · Answer

yeah

teebot · Answer

awesome

nkshah2 · Answer

So then you could also override the createNewSession function https supertokens com docs session advanced customizations backend functions override usage and then simply do something custom for that specific user id
