Summary

• Fixes a double login issue in Capacitor/Ionic apps (Double login redirect on ionic + angular workflow #668)
• In Capacitor, the app is already initialized when `handleRedirectCallback` is called manually, so `isLoading` is `false`. The previous code called `refresh()` and navigated immediately without waiting for the async auth state update, causing `AuthGuard` to read the stale cached `false` value and trigger a second login.
• Fix: change `tap` to `switchMap` in `handleRedirectCallback` and wait for `isAuthenticated$` to become `true` before navigating, only in the `!isLoading` (Capacitor) path. The SPA path is unchanged.

Test plan

• All existing unit tests pass
• Regression test added that fails on the unfixed code and passes with the fix — confirms the race condition and prevents future regressions
• Manually test Capacitor login flow — user should not be redirected to login a second time after a successful callback

Closes #668

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

handleRedirectCallback now waits for refreshed authentication state before navigating when the application is not loading. Updated callback tests include a Capacitor-flow case that checks authentication state at navigation.

Changes

Redirect state synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Callback refresh and navigation flow projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.ts	When loading has completed, handleRedirectCallback refreshes authentication state and waits for isAuthenticated$ to emit true before navigating and returning the result. When loading is active, it navigates immediately.
Callback behavior test updates projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.spec.ts	Callback tests configure successful authentication. A Capacitor-flow regression test checks that navigation occurs after the refreshed authentication state becomes true.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: frederikprijck

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3e483

If authentication remains false after a callback, the app can stay on the callback screen instead of completing the redirect. Handle that outcome before merging.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — projects (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.ts: Added filter and take to the rxjs/operators import block.
• observed — Modified behavior in projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.ts: Replaced the tap operator that conditionally refreshed auth state and navigated inside handleRedirectCallback with a switchMap emitting the observable outcome. When isLoading is false, it now calls authState.refresh() and waits for isAuthenticated$ to emit a truthy value (filter + take(1)) before navigating to the target and emitting result, so navigation no longer proceeds while the cached auth state is stale; when loading, it navigates immediately and returns of(result). The previous trailing map(([result]) => result) was removed.
• observed — Modified behavior in projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.ts: myAccount.updateAuthenticationMethod was reformatted from a multi-line from(...) expression to a single-line from(...); no behavior change.
• observed — Modified behavior in projects/auth0-angular/src/lib/auth.service.spec.ts: The underlying-SDK callback test now configures isAuthenticated to resolve true before calling handleRedirectCallback.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle a false authentication result as a terminal callback outcome.

When isLoading is false, handleRedirectCallback filters isAuthenticated$ to true. A valid false result from Auth0Client.isAuthenticated() is discarded. The merged authentication stream does not complete, so handleRedirectCallback() can remain pending and never call navigateByUrl() until an unrelated future authentication event emits true.

Handle false explicitly through a terminal result or the existing failure path. Preserve the wait for true so navigation does not observe stale authentication state.

Update the isLoading false branch in handleRedirectCallback to treat an emitted
false authentication result as a terminal callback outcome instead of filtering
it indefinitely; preserve waiting for true before navigating, and route false
through the existing failure or terminal-result path without changing the
loading branch.
