Question

Hi I use supertokens sign in for my app I have a website for the sign in and the app opens it in the browser and redirect back to the app after login is successful When I m logged in in the browser but signed out in the app I click sign in the app I get to my sign in website and then get redirected automatically back to the app My question is what exactly happens on the automatic redirect because sometimes the auto redirect gets stuck in the middle but I m having a hard time debugging this

> what exactly happens on the automatic redirect Basically then sign in UI checks if a session already exists which it will in the browser and then redirects back to where you specify

If you want the app logout to also logout of the browser session you could Modify the app logout API to clear all sessions of that user And modify the webapp to first call some API on the backend to check if the session exists and if it doesn t clear cookies using the `session revokeSession` function on the backend This will now make the frontend not redirect anymorel OR Somehow manually clear all cookies in the browser that s opened by the app when logout is called from the app

It will solve my problem only partially forgot to mention another scenario is when I m logged in the web and only then download the app so the logout isn t relevant in this case I suspect it gets stuck only when the sAccessToken is missing if I m logged in the web for a few hours

in that case the web browser would do a session refresh yielding a new access token anyway

if the frontend on the web app doesn t do that then you might wanna see why It should be refreshing if you are using our frontend SDK on the web
