Description
Hi there,
We're facing a weird Android only issue where when the webview opens up to initiate the auth session, the user gets sent an OTP, so they open their email app like Gmail, and when they return back to our app the webview is closed. We noticed that when you tap on the "App Selector" on android to see all active apps, the webview (chrome custom tab) shuts down, and doesnt persist.
How do we stop that from happening as users need to access their emails to get the OTP, then return to our app to input it?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the Android authentication flow that opens the WebView or Chrome Custom Tab, then reproduce switching to Gmail and returning through the Android app selector. Done means the auth session remains available so users can return to the app and enter the OTP.
