Convex Auth with Expo/React Native: isAuthenticated state not updating

I have a pretty similar setup to the
convex-auth-example
convex-auth-example
repo. I believe the entire signIn/signUp flow is completing successfully, but for some reason,
isAuthenticated
isAuthenticated
from
useConvexAuth
useConvexAuth
isn't returning true.

The attached screenshot shows the app's console logs on the left side and Convex's logs on the right side. You'll notice that despite signIn returning a success status and despite the calls to refreshSession (implying there's an active session stored in the app) when I refresh the app,
isAuthenticated
isAuthenticated
on the left side is always false.

const { isAuthenticated } = useConvexAuth();

React.useEffect(() => {
    console.log('isAuthenticated', isAuthenticated);
  }, [isAuthenticated]);

const onSubmit = async (data: AuthFormType) => {
    setIsSubmitting(true);
    signIn(data.provider, data.params).catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
      let toastTitle: string;
      if (error instanceof ConvexError && error.data === 'INVALID_PASSWORD') {
        toastTitle = 'Invalid password - check the requirements and try again.';
      } else {
        toastTitle =
          flow === 'signIn'
            ? 'Could not sign in, did you mean to sign up?'
            : 'Could not sign up, did you mean to sign in?';
      }
      showMessage({
        message: toastTitle,
        type: 'danger',
      });
      setIsSubmitting(false);
    });
  };
const { isAuthenticated } = useConvexAuth();

React.useEffect(() => {
    console.log('isAuthenticated', isAuthenticated);
  }, [isAuthenticated]);

const onSubmit = async (data: AuthFormType) => {
    setIsSubmitting(true);
    signIn(data.provider, data.params).catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
      let toastTitle: string;
      if (error instanceof ConvexError && error.data === 'INVALID_PASSWORD') {
        toastTitle = 'Invalid password - check the requirements and try again.';
      } else {
        toastTitle =
          flow === 'signIn'
            ? 'Could not sign in, did you mean to sign up?'
            : 'Could not sign up, did you mean to sign in?';
      }
      showMessage({
        message: toastTitle,
        type: 'danger',
      });
      setIsSubmitting(false);
    });
  };


layout.tsx file looks something like this:

import { useConvexAuth } from 'convex/react';
import { Redirect, Stack } from 'expo-router';
import React from 'react';

const _layout = () => {
  const { isAuthenticated } = useConvexAuth();

  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return <Redirect href="/" />;
  }

  return (
    <Stack>
      <Stack.Screen
        name="index"
      />
      <Stack.Screen
        name="auth-form"
      />
    </Stack>
  );
};

export default _layout;
import { useConvexAuth } from 'convex/react';
import { Redirect, Stack } from 'expo-router';
import React from 'react';

const _layout = () => {
  const { isAuthenticated } = useConvexAuth();

  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return <Redirect href="/" />;
  }

  return (
    <Stack>
      <Stack.Screen
        name="index"
      />
      <Stack.Screen
        name="auth-form"
      />
    </Stack>
  );
};

export default _layout;

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
