Changes

Updates the v6 MIGRATION_GUIDE.md for accuracy against the shipped code.

Auth Tab is opt-in, not the default. The guide previously stated Auth Tab was "now the default" and that authorize()/clearSession() called withAuthTab() unconditionally. The actual v6 behavior (shipped via #1662, included in v6.0.0-beta.0) exposes a useAuthTab option that defaults to false, so Android keeps using the standard Custom Tab launch path unless the developer opts in (NativeBridgeManager forwards useAuthTab ?? false; the Android module gates withAuthTab() behind it).

  • Renamed the section to "Auth Tab is available as an opt-in Android web authentication launch mode".
  • Documented the useAuthTab option (default false, unchanged v5 behavior by default) with login/logout examples.
  • Noted mutual exclusivity with useTrustedWebActivity (TWA takes precedence).
  • Revised the Action Required to "None — default preserves existing v5 behavior; opt in if you hit the minimize-button bug."
  • Corrected the ephemeral-session caveat: ephemeral browsing works on a standard Custom Tab (default) and on Auth Tab (opt-in), but not on a TWA.

Split section 6 by status. "Behavioral default shifts under native delegation" mixed a shipped change with a planned one under a single ⏳ marker. Split into:

  • #### minTtl now defaults to 60 seconds ✅ (shipped)
  • #### Remaining default shifts ⏳ (offline_access scope, default connection names — still planned)

Notes

  • EXAMPLES.md still contains stale "Auth Tab is the default launch mode since v6" wording (around the Trusted Web Activity / Ephemeral Sessions sections, ~lines 2820 and 2886) — not touched here; can follow up in a separate change if desired.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the v5-to-v6 migration guide to clarify that standard Custom Tabs are the default Android authentication mode.
    • Documented Auth Tabs as an opt-in mode using useAuthTab.
    • Clarified that useAuthTab and Trusted Web Activities are mutually exclusive, with Trusted Web Activities taking precedence.
    • Documented that minTtl defaults to 60 seconds and reorganized remaining default-change guidance.

Walkthrough

The migration guide now documents standard Custom Tabs as the default Android authentication mode. It adds useAuthTab opt-in guidance, documents option precedence, retains cancellation behavior, and reorganizes behavioral default guidance.

Document the useTrustedWebActivity override.

When useTrustedWebActivity is enabled on Android, the native authorization and logout implementations give Trusted Web Activity precedence over withAuthTab(). Update the guide to state that Auth Tab is not used in this case.

Auth Tab on Android is opt-in via the useAuthTab option (default false),
not the default launch mode. Update the v6 migration guide to describe
the opt-in behavior, add login/logout examples, note TWA precedence, and
correct the ephemeral-session caveat accordingly.
