   This is due to Google disallowing embedded webviews for authorization: https://developers.googleblog.com/2016/08/modernizing-oauth-interactions-in-native-apps.html.

   The Android implementation in this package uses a webview. It needs to be updated to use a Chrome tab, as described by Google. There's a hack in #130 to make it work, but that's going against Google's instructions on how to properly do authorization on android.

   Better using the user's actual UserAgent and replace wv from it instead of the hard coded one
   mWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString(mWebView.getSettings().getUserAgentString().replace("; wv", ""));

   P.S. I have open the PR for this issue, however this library seems no longer supported by the original author, you may consider using other OAuth RN library.
