@Belka1000867 thanks for reporting this. Can you add some steps to reproduce it? We already have in place this logic to remove the reference after the activity is no longer visible and wonder if we should move this logic somewhere else

[belrvn]

It happens after normal authentication process on webAuthBuilder.start()

After debugging I see that CustomTabsController.unbindService() does not unbind the service, because isBound field is always false. On CustomTabsController.bindService() while CustomTabsClient.bindCustomTabsService(context, preferredPackage, this); returns false.

[lbalmaceda]

thanks for the extra details 🙇 I'll try to reproduce locally and come back to you.

I've tried to reproduce this on an emulator with the Chrome browser app installed. I didn't run into this, in fact, at the time the service should be unbound, the variable isBound has a truthy value, so the right logic is executed.

The SDK also logs at "bind time" whether it could or not bind a Custom Tabs service. This would fail when there are no Custom Tabs compatible browsers installed. Can you check the output of that line in your logcat? Also, can you provide the browser apps you are using to test this or more information around that environment? Thanks

@lbalmaceda I have encountered the same error. I was using DuckDuckGo browser while Chrome is disabled. After enabling Chrome, the error goes away. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the additional details. I'll take a look again using a different browser app.
