Description

After logging in with auth0, the credentials cannot be retrieved on Android or the Web (Works for iOS). The warning message, No stored state: unable to handle response appears on the console when the webpage gets stuck and you have to kill the app and relaunch the app to try logging in again.

Initially, I was using the flutter_appauth package for logging in using Auth0 and everything was working fine. Now, I am trying to migrate it to the official Auth0 package i.e. auth0_flutter and it is now working for Android and Web.

Reproduction

1. Login function below:

Future<Credentials?> login() async {
    try {
      if (kIsWeb) {
        /// Attempt to login the user with the redirect method
          await _auth0Web.loginWithRedirect(
              audience: auth0Audience,
              scopes: authScopes['auth'],
              redirectUrl: auth0RedirectUri);

         return await _auth0Web.credentials();
      } else {
        /// Handle the needed credentials for mobile
        Credentials? credentials = await _auth0
            .webAuthentication(scheme: 'com.project.portal')
            .login(
              audience: auth0Audience,
              scopes: const {'openid', 'profile', 'email', 'offline_access'},
              redirectUrl: auth0RedirectUri,
              idTokenValidationConfig: IdTokenValidationConfig(issuer: 'https://$auth0Domain'),
              safariViewController: const SafariViewController(),
              parameters: {'prompt': 'login'},
            );

        return credentials;
      }
    } on Exception catch (e) {
      print('Error logging in: $e');
      return null;
    }
  }

2. Call above login function on a button click:

ElevatedButton(
  onPressed: () async {
    final credentials = await login();

    setState(() {
      _credentials = credentials;
    });
  },
  child: const Text('Login'),
),

Additional context

On Auth0, I have first created a new Native Application. I have created a flutter application that supports iOS, Android, and the Web which uses the same configuration from Auth0. The auth0 domain is a custom domain

Hi @aakashawalkar, thanks for raising this.

Can you confirm that you can indeed reproduce this on the auth0_flutter sample app?

[aakashawalkar]

@Widcket - Yes, I see the same behavior on the sample app.

Thanks. @poovamraj could you please take a look?

Hi @Widcket @poovamraj -

When I tried tweaking the Auth0 configuration, most of the time I saw the below error message

No stored state - unable to handle the response

Also, sometimes, I see below error messages while logging in -

Has any solution been found for this issue? I am in the same situation. Trying to migrate away from flutter_appauth, and it works in iOS but not in Android.
