Summary

I followed the documentation for have a simple implementation of connecting wallet and switching chain (https://docs.reown.com/appkit/react-native/core/installation#expo). I can connect successfully to Metamask Wallet. And then I tried to implement switch chain from my app. I tried both from <AppkitButton/> and useSwitchChain hook from wagmi, it went to Metamask and change the chain. but when it went back to my app, somehow:

• result of connector from useAccount is undefined
• result of status from useAccount is disconnected

I tried this on IOS.

hey @jasonaviandres 👋 which version of Metamask are you using?

[jasonaviandres]

@ignaciosantise hey, my Metamask version currently is v7.45.1

[ignaciosantise]

hey @jasonaviandres we noticed Metamask was having some issues in their previous versions. Does the error happen with other wallets? Also, can you update to v7.45.2 ? I cannot reproduce the issue on my side

[jasonaviandres]

hey @ignaciosantise I just updated my Metamask to version 7.45.2. it seems to work ok now, thank you so much
