Expo Google login

I'm using better-auth with Expo for Google social login.
In the socialProviders config, I see that Google requires both clientId and clientSecret, but as far as I understand, when using the Android client (for mobile), Google doesn't provide a clientSecret.

If I try to leave it as undefined, I get a type error.

socialProviders: {
  google: {
    clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID as string,
    clientSecret: ??? // ← what should I put here?
  },
},


Since I'm using Expo (and not a web app), is there a correct way to omit clientSecret? Or is there a workaround to bypass the type check?

Any advice appreciated!

Oh wait, if you’re authenticating in the expo app, you should get idToken and you should use id token auth instead.
