Stripe re-direct not closing the in app browser in flutter IOS

[YogeshSha0304]

Describe the bug
I'm testing out more payment methods for Stripe following. This was not working in my existing app which is using flutter_stripe: ^11.4.0 version the in app browser was never getting closed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open react native app using Stripe
Open the payment sheet
Click on any one of the payment methods
The in-app browser will open, authorise the payment
In-app browser doesn't close

Expected behavior
In-app browser should close and return to the payment sheet with correct status

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Device: iPhone 16 Pro
OS: iOS 18.2
Browser: stock browser, safari
Version: flutter_stripe: ^11.4.0
Additional context
If I manually close the in-app browser the Stripe payment displays the status correctly.

I would recommend taking a look at: #462 in essence you need to make sure that you specify a return url and also enable the deeplink in flutter.

Yes, I understand that point, but if my deep link URL isn’t working, then how is the same code working on Android?

Android does not require a returnUrl to works. It's only for iOS

I verified that the deep link is working and the console logs appear in the terminal, but the dialog box isn’t automatically closing. It should pop the screen when the deep link is triggered or i have to write some code to close the stripe sheet.

I have exactly the same issue. The deep link is handled in the app after finishing the payment but the browser stays open. After pressing "Close" the browser closes and the page which was linked to before becomes visible.

So 2 things can be causing this:

• Make sure to have the correct scheme provided in the config: example

• Make sure that the redirect url is specified and you can handle the redirect by gorouter to launch another screen: example

The behavior of the screens is out of our jurisdiction since they are native rendered and we will not make changes to them because of PCI compliance. Hope this helps

[YogeshSha0304]

Yes, I added both as you mentioned above, and I also got the print in my deep link. However, the sheet is not closing automatically when I click the button.

@jonasbark do you see any other clues here? For me deeplinking works fine in the production apps and I cannot reproduce it

Any Update ??

It is not working.
This is part of the email I sent to Stripe team:
this problem is also in stripe/stripe-ios#4565
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• We have tested with and without the ?isStripe=true parameter appended to the returnURL.
• Verified the deep link configuration in Info.plist.
• Confirmed the payment status on the Stripe dashboard.
• Tested on multiple iOS simulators and physical devices.
• Updated to the latest version of flutter_stripe.
• Checked the server-side logs.
• Tested with FlutterDeepLinkingEnabled set to both true and false within the info.plist file and also without FlutterDeepLinkingEnabled.

Request:
We are requesting your urgent assistance in resolving this issue. We suspect a potential bug or misconfiguration within the Stripe iOS SDK that is preventing the webview from closing automatically.
Please let us know if you require any further information, logs, or testing steps from our end.
Thank you for your prompt attention and support.
Sincerely,

After two months, I fixed the problem :

before in my ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift

override func application( _ application: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any] ) -> Bool { if Auth.auth().canHandle(url) { return true } // Handle Stripe URL return super.application(application, open: url, options: options) }

But now I added stripeHandled https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=ios#ios-set-up-return-url:

   override func application(
        _ application: UIApplication, open url: URL,
        options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any]
    ) -> Bool {
        if Auth.auth().canHandle(url) {
            return true
        }
          // Handle Stripe URL
    let stripeHandled = StripeAPI.handleURLCallback(with: url)
    if stripeHandled {
        return true
    }

        return super.application(application, open: url, options: options)
    }

and its working like sharm.

this can be a solution as you override flutters deeplinking natively but this shouldn't be needed as flutter has a mechanism for deep linking

[remonh87]

this looks like more a flutter issue rather than an issue on our library
