Chrome Custom Tabs not working


I am using the tutorial from CodeLabs and in an attempt to test my authorization at Step 8, I get a log info 06-13 14:15:42.053 3089-3089/com.google.codelabs.appauth I/AppAuth: Unable to bind custom tabs service and as such I am unable to see if this works. Any help to understand why this is happening and how to solve it will be appreciated. Thank you.


Solution

  • If Chrome (or any other browser that supports the custom tab service) is not installed on the device, then this error will be displayed. However, this should not prevent authorization from working - AppAuth will fall back to using the system browser if no custom tab provider is available.
