Issues with expo and generic oauth provider

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate better-auth with my expo app, using the generic oauth provider.
I noticed a couple of issues:
1. this part: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/blob/main/packages/expo/src/index.ts#L37 never seems to be true since the path is

/oauth2/callback

/oauth2/callback

. For now I work around this by manually patching the library, but a more robust solution is probably warrented.
2. I'm using

authClient.useSession

authClient.useSession

to get the state while the user is signing in. And indeed when I call

authClient.signIn.oauth2

authClient.signIn.oauth2

I get the login modal on ios (

APP wants to use URL to Sign In

APP wants to use URL to Sign In

). However, the

isPending

isPending

field of the session quickly toggles to

true

true

(expected) and then just as quickly toggles to

false

false

, even though I haven't even had the time to click on the modal (unexpected). This is odd, I'd expect

isPending

isPending

to stay

true

true

until either the sign in is completed, errored or aborted.
3. Likely related to #2 but after successful sign in, the redirect specified in

callbackURL

callbackURL

does not work within the app, it just stays on the same page.
Is this a bug or an issue on my end?
