Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Initialize an Expo project with better auth as per the documentation
  2. signUp a new user with autoSignInAfterVerification = true and requireEmailVerification = false

Current vs. Expected behavior

As soon as the user signs up you'll see a new session being created with user.emailVerified == false (as expected)

Verify the email by clicking on the link on your email

You'll see the session won't update through the useSession hook.

I'm not sure whether this is intended behavior, but my goal would be to rely on useSession to redirect the user to the home screen upon they reviewing their email.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.4

Provide environment information

- OS: iOS 18.1

    generateId: false,
  },
  emailVerification: {
    sendOnSignUp: true,

    sendVerificationEmail: async ({ user, url, token }, request) => {
      await sendEmail({
        to: user.email,
        subject: "Verify your email address",
        text: `Click the link to verify your email: ${url}`,
      });
    },
  },

    requireEmailVerification: false,
    autoSignIn: true,
  },
  session: {
    expiresIn: 60 * 60 * 24 * 7, // 7 days
    updateAge: 60 * 60 * 24, // 1 day (every 1 day the session expiration is updated)
    cookieCache: {
      enabled: true,
      maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24, // Cache duration in seconds
    },
  },
  plugins: [expo(), username()],
