Cannot convert async lambda expression to delegate type 'Func<string, bool>'

Question

I am getting, Cannot convert async lambda expression to delegate type 'Func<string, bool>'. An async lambda expression may return void, Task or Task, none of which are convertible to 'Func<string, bool>'. with below code,

var requestHandler = new SignInRequestHandler(async stringUrl =>
{
    if (stringUrl.StartsWith(options.EndUrl))
    {
        var cookieManager = Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager();
        var cookies = await cookieManager.VisitAllCookiesAsync();
        if (cookies != null)
        {
            foreach (var cookie in cookies)
            {
                if (cookie.Name.ToLower() == options.CookieName.ToLower())
                {
                    var sessionCookie = new System.Net.Cookie(cookie.Name, cookie.Value, "/", cookie.Domain)
                    {
                        HttpOnly = true,
                        Secure = true
                    };

                    browserResult = new BrowserResult()
                    {
                        SessionCookie = sessionCookie
                    };
                    await signWindow.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(signWindow.Close));
                    return Task.FromResult(true);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return Task.FromResult(false);
});


private class SignInRequestHandler : RequestHandler, IDisposable
    {
    private readonly LoginResourceRequestHandler _resourceRequestHandler;

    public SignInRequestHandler(Func<string, bool> urlHandler)
        : base()
    {
        _resourceRequestHandler = new LoginResourceRequestHandler(urlHandler);
    }

    protected override IResourceRequestHandler GetResourceRequestHandler(IWebBrowser chromiumWebBrowser, CefSharp.IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, bool isNavigation, bool isDownload, string requestInitiator, ref bool disableDefaultHandling)
    {
        return _resourceRequestHandler;
    }
}

private class SignInResourceRequestHandler : ResourceRequestHandler
{
    private readonly Func<string, bool> _urlHandler;

    public SignInResourceRequestHandler(Func<string, bool> urlHandler)
        : base()
    {
        _urlHandler = urlHandler;
    }

    protected override CefReturnValue OnBeforeResourceLoad(IWebBrowser chromiumWebBrowser, CefSharp.IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, IRequestCallback callback)
    {
        if (request != null && request.Url != null && _urlHandler(request.Url))
        {
            return CefReturnValue.Cancel;
        }

        return base.OnBeforeResourceLoad(chromiumWebBrowser, browser, frame, request, callback);
    }
}

I should await this method cookieManager.VisitAllCookiesAsync() and so added async to lambda expression causing this error.

How to solve this please?

This was resolved by using ContinueWith method,

         var _ = Task.Run(async () => await _urlHandler(request.Url)).ContinueWith(ContinuationAction);


         private async Task<CefReturnValue> ContinuationAction(Task<bool> obj)
         {
            CefReturnValue? result = null;

            if (await obj)
            {
                result = CefReturnValue.Cancel;
            }

            return result.Value;
        }
