📄 Description

Summary

ID token flow (native sign-in with Google/Apple) doesn't need cookie-based authentication. The ID token itself is cryptographically signed by the provider and validated server-side.

Previously, the expo client would always send cookie and expo-origin headers, which triggered unnecessary origin checks that fail for custom URL schemes (e.g., modu-dev://, myapp://).

Problem

When using ID token authentication with a custom URL scheme:

await authClient.signIn.social({
    provider: 'google',
    idToken: { token: idToken },
});

The expo client sends:

  • cookie header (even for stateless ID token auth)
  • expo-origin: modu-dev:// header

The server then:

  1. Copies expo-origin to origin header
  2. Runs origin check because cookie header exists
  3. Fails because modu-dev:// is not in trustedOrigins
ERROR [Better Auth]: Invalid origin: modu-dev://

Solution

Detect ID token requests by checking for options.body?.idToken and skip adding cookie/expo-origin headers for these requests.

const isIdTokenRequest = options.body?.idToken !== undefined;

if (isIdTokenRequest) {
    // Only add x-skip-oauth-proxy, no cookie/expo-origin
} else {
    // Add cookie/expo-origin for browser OAuth flow
}

Why This Makes Sense

Flow Needs Cookies Needs Origin Check
Browser OAuth ✅ Yes (session management) ✅ Yes (CSRF protection)
ID Token ❌ No (stateless, token is proof) ❌ No (token is cryptographically signed)

Test Plan

  • Added test: "should not send cookie or expo-origin headers for ID token requests"
  • Existing tests pass

Summary by cubic

Skip sending cookie and expo-origin headers on Expo ID token requests to prevent origin check failures with custom URL schemes. Native Google/Apple sign-in now works without trusted origin setup.

  • Bug Fixes
    • Detect ID token requests and omit cookie/expo-origin; still set x-skip-oauth-proxy.
    • Preserve existing behavior for browser OAuth flows.
    • Added test to confirm no cookie/expo-origin/origin headers are sent for ID token requests.

Written for commit 8bc2aa4fc4. Summary will update on new commits.
