Session cookie not working in production deployment
For ex. you can include token in a call from expo to backend : const token = await SecureStore.getItemAsync('myapp-jwt');
const cookies = authClient.getCookie();
const opts: RequestInit = {
method,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'x-client-type': 'mobile',
...(token ? { Authorization:
Bearer ${token} } : {}),
Cookie: cookies || '',
},
credentials: 'include',
...(method === 'POST' && { body: JSON.stringify({ action, params }) }),
};
const res = await fetch(url, opts);
if (!res) throw new Error('Request failed');
return res.json();

what you can do is on succesfull login in Expo you can call a function like refresh session : const refreshSession = async () => {
try {
const session = await authClient.getSession();
const sessionToken = session?.data?.session?.token;
if (!sessionToken) {
await SecureStore.deleteItemAsync('myapp-jwt');
setUser(null);
setIsAuthenticated(false);
return;
}
const response = await fetch(
${BACKEND}/api/auth/token, {
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${sessionToken},
},
});
const data = await response.json();
if (data.token) {
await SecureStore.setItemAsync('myapp-jwt', data.token);
} else {
await SecureStore.deleteItemAsync('myapp-jwt');

You have to tunnel you local backend ip using Ngrok . You will have to use that given url in your auth.ts like },
socialProviders: {
google: {
clientId: process.env.AUTH_GOOGLE_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET,
redirectURI: "https://a652-103-182-161-102.ngrok-free.app/api/auth/callback/google",
},
},
emailAndPassword: {
enabled: true,
},
plugins: [
expo(),
jwt(),
bearer(),
oAuthProxy({ productionURL: "https://a652-103-182-161-102.ngrok-free.app" }),
openAPI(),

Hello! I have a specific question about session handling between Expo and Next.js using Better Auth.
How can I make auth.api.getSession() recognize the session when the request comes from my Expo app? Currently, it returns null for mobile users even though they're properly authenticated.
Additional context:
Using the expoClient plugin with SecureStore
Authentication flow works (can log in/out)
Just need the session to be recognized on the backend

Hello! I have a specific question about session handling between Expo and Next.js using Better Auth.
Current behavior:
1. Web login works perfectly - auth.api.getSession() returns the correct user session
2. Expo authentication works (can log in successfully)
3. BUT: When making API calls from Expo to Next.js backend, the currentUser function doesn't recognize the mobile user's session
