isLoading from useConvexAuth() always returns false

I need help debugging why my useConvexAuth() hook is returning false for isLoading whether or not the user is going through the sign in process. It is completely unresponsive even signing out or in, it will just remain false. This happens for both normal password/email sign in as well as OAuth sign in. The only time it is set to true is briefly on app launch. But once the user tries signing in it won't be responsive anymore isAuthenticated on the other hand is properly functioning as expected. I am using React Native and have wrapped my app with

    <ConvexAuthProvider
      client={convex}
      storage={Platform.OS === 'ios' || Platform.OS === 'android' ? secureStorage : undefined}
    >
       ...(rest of children)
    </ConvexAuthProvider

    <ConvexAuthProvider
      client={convex}
      storage={Platform.OS === 'ios' || Platform.OS === 'android' ? secureStorage : undefined}
    >
       ...(rest of children)
    </ConvexAuthProvider

It's worth noting this used to work properly but I probably introduced a bug but i have no idea how to debug this

Hey so this is the useConvexAuth imported from convex/react? The isLoading should be true after you've completed signing in with your auth provider -- in this case it sounds like you're using Convex Auth, the @convex-dev/auth library, right? -- while the credentials from your auth provider get propagated to the your Convex functions. When signed in or signed out, isLoading is supposed to be false, as well as when in the middle of a sign in flow. It's just meant to be true immediately on loading the page (when sending any stored auth information to the backend) or immediately after finishing signing in. Can you say more about how you wanted to use isLoading?
