Fixes #1584. Chrome 122+ shows a minimize button in Custom Tabs. When users tap it, the flow incorrectly infers cancellation and rejects with USER_CANCELLED while the browser stays alive, dropping the redirect when login completes. Auth0.Android v4's withAuthTab() delivers a real ActivityResult instead of inferring cancellation from lifecycle, fixing this issue. Changes: - Add withAuthTab() to webAuth() and webAuthLogout() in A0Auth0Module - Update MIGRATION_GUIDE.md with behavioral change documentation - Update EXAMPLES.md to explain Auth Tab and its relationship to TWA - No public API changes; purely internal Android implementation
…epEqual change - Document that Auth Tab and TWA are mutually exclusive (TWA takes precedence) and that ephemeral browsing works only on a plain Custom Tab, so ephemeralSession is not honored under Auth Tab or TWA. - Link the underlying issue (#1584) where Auth Tab is discussed. - Revert the unrelated == -> === change in deepEqual.ts to match v6-development.

LGTM. The 4.1.0 bump wires ephemeral through the Auth Tab path, so ephemeralSession is honoured on the new default launch mode, and the docs match. Worth one on-device check that ephemeralSession: true actually applies through Auth Tab, since CI can't assert it.

Changes
Android web authentication now launches through Auth0.Android's Auth Tab launch mode (
withAuthTab()) instead of the plain Chrome Custom Tab, for both login and logout.android/.../A0Auth0Module.ktwebAuth()— login builder now callswithAuthTab()webAuthLogout()— logout builder now callswithAuthTab()Why: On Chrome 122+, tapping the Custom Tab's minimize button returned control to the host app while the browser stayed alive. The old lifecycle-based detection misread that resume as a user cancellation and rejected
authorize()/clearSession()withUSER_CANCELLED, even though the user could still complete the flow. Auth Tab delivers a realActivityResult, so cancellation is reported only on genuine cancel (back button / close), eliminating the spurious error.This is default-on (no configuration flag) — appropriate for the v6 major. It's a purely internal Android implementation change with no public API impact. Documented in
MIGRATION_GUIDE.md(§9) andEXAMPLES.md.References
authorize()withUSER_CANCELLEDwhile the browser stays alive (zombie session) #1584Testing
Verified on a physical device (Samsung Galaxy A06, Chrome 151) running the example app:
CustomTabsController: Launching URI as Auth Tab. Session available: trueManual acceptance checks for reviewers:
Start
authorize(), background the app mid-flow, return and complete login → resolves with credentials, noUSER_CANCELLED.Start
authorize(), tap close (✕) → rejects withUSER_CANCELLED(genuine cancel still works).Repeat for
clearSession()(logout).This change adds unit test coverage
This change has been tested on the latest version of the platform/language or why not — verified on-device (Galaxy A06, Chrome 151); native behavior isn't covered by the JS unit suite.
