Problem

🐛 Bug Report Environment [code block] iOS Standalone AND iOS Expo Client Steps to Reproduce Must be logged out of Facebook in the browser, but logged in in the Facebook app Facebook.logInWithReadPermissionsAsync, doesn’t come back to our app after flying to Facebook app. This may or may not occur. For now it only occurs on iOS standalone. It’s pretty strange because it’s quite strange behavior and it hurts user acquisition opportunities. This is fatal for our app. Expected Behavior After logging in with Facebook, you are redirected to our app and the login process is executed Actual Behavior Even after logging in on the Facebook app, it behaves like staying in the Facebook app. The only way to get back to our app is to cancel, and of course the login process will fail. Sample code [code block]
