  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using expo, linkSocial will not open the auth url in expo browser.

Describe the solution you'd like

When triggering a social auth AuthClient.signIn.social, expo plugin will intercept the link and will trigger the expo browser. Seems like as a part of the plugin, it makes sense to also handle the AuthClient.linkSocial because it follows the same pattern.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually calling the same code path as signIn does to the url from linkSocial with Browser.openAuthSessionAsync

Additional context

Adding it now might be a breaking change for users of expo package that already have implemented manual browser handling. If this change is fine with maintainers, I could open a PR for that.
