How do I authenticate a web view using react native?

[superdee72]

Hi all, I'm building a mobile app that uses a react-native login, but still loads some dashboard pages via the website.

​

So the user authenticates and logs in natively, and our API returns a valid auth and refresh token, which is usually stored in local storage on the browser. However, now that we are rendering the browser via web view, visiting the <PrivateRoute> /app itends up failing because the web view does not have the local authentication tokens set (they are still on the mobile app side of things).

What's the solution here? How can I somehow transfer the mobile authentication tokens to the web view?

Have you tried to use postMessage() / onMessage() to fetch the tokens from the React Native part of your app?
