Redirection after login with a google account do not work.
I have a problem with the login on DropBox in my app. (Login process with chrome mobile browser, App in Xamarin for Android) It works with google accounts I login one time before, therefore i think ...
i found now a solution with the httpListener:
The security behaviour changed since Android 8. All devices higher than this version, will not work correct with the redirection.
The problem is, the httpListener blocks all incoming messages, after some time, if the app is in the background.
We can handel this by register the app as a forground service.
You need for this some code and one new android Permission "Forground".
The httpListener runs in a Android Service.
Are there a newer working example with the Xamarin WebAuthenticator? It would get a better user experience.
