Description

I am using Keycloak with SAML with Rocket.Chat, and it seems after the update to version 6.3.1 the Android mobile client stopped working correctly and keeps being logout and redirected back to the #general chatroom.

I have tested different Android versions 4.40.0 from Google play and version 4.38.0 and 4.37.1 fro F-droid, all experience the same issue. The problems started after the Rocket.Chat server upgrade to version 6.3.1 from snap channel 6.x/stable on 2023-08-13.

The issue does not seem to appear with Firefox or Chromium on Linux desktop.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with Rocket.Chat server 6.3.1, Keycloak SAML, and Android client versions 4.40.0, 4.38.0, or 4.37.1; compare behavior with Firefox or Chromium on Linux. Done means the Android client no longer logs out and redirects to #general after the server upgrade.
