[BUG] Users are not redirected back to the app after successfully paying with PayPal

[kit0kat]

We use PaymentSheet in our Android app. When a user selects PayPal, they are redirected to PayPal in a Google Chrome tab. After successfully completing the process on PayPal, there is a loading screen telling the user that they will be redirected back to the app, but the redirection never happens. The user gets stuck on this endless loading screen. When the user clicks the X in the upper left corner, the web tab closes and the user is redirected back to the app showing a successful payment.

The redirect works fine on the web, but not with the Android SDK.

Hi, I am facing the same problem. @kit0kat did you manage to solve this problem?

Hi @manandhar-aarya
It's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet, and I'm still waiting for a response from Stripe.

Hi @kit0kat, i don't know if you were able to make this work, but in my case i had to add android:launchMode="singleTop" in AndroidManifest.xml file, like mentioned here: https://github.com/ezet/stripe-sdk/blob/693df9962271874fb1cb88fea9e0596627b4da5b/README.md?plain=1#L143

Hi @tjclawson-stripe, it is working now. Thanks anyways!
