Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid after successful uber oauth

I'm linking to the uber api authentication endpoints (/authorize and /token) via iOS and after a successful login, it returns "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid". I've narrowed this down to an iOS specific problem because the same react-native configuration works for Android.

I've tried a number of solutions.

Clear safari browsing history, web data, iPhone update, etc. Nothing has worked.

I believe URL Schemes under URL Types in info.plist has a pay here, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around what I need to put there.

Any thoughts?

Upon successful authentication, uber should return an access token for the user.

what return URL are you specifying? Does your app respond to that URL? – Paulw11 May 21 '19 at 02:15
@Paulw11 Are you referring to the redirect URL? Or is it the uber return URL that takes the user to the uber platform? – Arron J. Linton May 21 '19 at 02:22

The redirect URL that the authenticating party (Uber in this case) uses to redirect back to your app in order to provide the token. This would normally be something like `myGreatApp://` and `myGreatApp` needs to be registered as a URL type in your `info.plist` file – Paulw11 May 21 '19 at 02:25
@Paulw11 I got through! Thanks man – Arron J. Linton May 21 '19 at 04:12
@Paulw11 Legend, you saved me. This should be the accepted answer – R. de Ruijter Jan 12 '21 at 15:18
