How to share login across React Web Application and iOS App?

[archie]

We have a React Web Application and React Native Application. We would like to share login across the two apps so that whenever the User logs into the Web, when the user opens the app the same user is now logged into the App as well. We are using Universal login for both React Web App and React Native Apps.

It seems to be that for Android application of the React Native App, this scenario works as universal login tends to redirect universal login to chrome and so sessions are kept. The problem is that the same is not true with iOS App. In iOS, universal login opens Safari Modal and it looks like Safari Modal have a different instance as Safari itself and so the Login session aren’t shared.

Is there a way to workaround this?

Hope this helps!
