react-native-app-auth: The operation couldn’t be completed. (org.openid.appauth.general error -3.)

Issue

I have not reproduced the issue on dev/qa environments. Everything that I know from end-user report, app runs webflow and fails immediately after the successful login on the server that

Looks like duplicate to https://github.com/FormidableLabs/react-native-app-auth/issues/388

Those errors started after RN upgrade to 0.62.1. Before that app used 0.59.x and no bugsnag reports are detected

Creating an delay before calling authorize would solve it for me…

Same issue with react native 0.71.6 and react-native-app-auth 6.4.3.

I can confirm this error is thrown when:

the user cancels the flow. In this case, I would expect another error, clearly indicating that it was the user who cancelled, as is the case on Android.
when the app is opened but not focused/active, it is activated from a deep link (e.g. a reset password link clicked in an email), and authorize is called immediately.

For the second case, I’m using this workaround:

import { AppState } from 'react-native';
while (AppState.currentState !== 'active') {
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
}
const result = await authorize(config);

Maybe Error Domain=org.openid.appauth.general Code=-3 means OIDErrorCodeUserCanceledAuthorizationFlow and React Native App Auth doesn’t handle user cancellation…

I’m a novice in React Native and iOS, I’m just saying…
