Describe the bug

Hi all

We are experiencing session issues with our mobile apps, when our users are offline and the id/access token has expired.

id + access token have expiration of 60min and refresh token of 90 days

We would be interested how others are handling this situation:

• When a user is offline / has no internet connection and resumes the app after the id + access token have expired, the session is dropped and the user is logged out
• How can we avoid this behavior as it is a big pain point?

Would appreciate any feedback

Expected behavior

While user is offline and id + access tokens have expired:

const session = Auth.currentSession()

Reproduction steps

1. Go into airplaine mode
2. Close app
3. Wait until tokens have expired
4. Open app

Code Snippet

const session = Auth.currentSession()
