Convex Auth Missing SITE_URL in Expo App
The docs say that SITE_URL is not needed when I am using react native. For my expo app I am getting an error regarding missing env SITE_URL. Is there anything I am missing or is SITE_URL actually required?

Thank you!
Did you set the
redirecTo param and redirect callback like in https://labs.convex.dev/auth/config/oauth#add-sign-in-button ? Make sure to use the ReactNative selector.
here's the code that was throwing the error I believeOAuth - Convex Auth

I am using OTP with resend, does this method work with that or is it specific to OAuth?
I would configure the SITE_URL for your app's url, have you tried that? I haven't played with RN & auth much, but any time a user needs to get redirected to your app, I'd suspect you need to provide a URL
It works but for some reason also have to manually setup the private and public key as well or else it errors. I was under the impression that
npx @convex-dev/auth sets that up for us.
have you run that command? does it say it's setting the values or already has the values? You can see all your set environment variables with
npx convex env listI think you're running into https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/issues/40 -- sounds like setting a dummy
SITE_URL will probably unblock you (or setting it to the URL of your Expo app)
npx @convex-dev/auth is supposed to set up JWKS and JWT_PRIVATE_KEY for you, so sounds surprising that you had to manually set them -- if you remember more details / have logs from your initial npx @convex-dev/auth handy, feel free to share themGitHub

okay I deleted the env variables and tried it again, seems like
JWKS and JWT_PRIVATE_KEY is set but only SITE_URL is not because its a react native app. I think the "React Native projects don't require a SITE_URL" is kind of misleading thou because it required one to work.
As for the issue, I think its https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/issues/40 , setting the SITE_URL fixes it 👍 .GitHub
