[bug]: linkMode not working after connecting wallet

[putti-johnnie]

Description

Actually, there are 2 issues:

• when a MetaMask wallet is successfully connected, it does not go back to my dapp.
• I am using const { data: walletClient } = useWalletClient(); to monitor the wallet status, but it doesn't get updated once the wallet is connected.
  As you can see from the attached video, once I go back to my app manually, it doesn't show the address until I refresh the entire app.

BTW, I can confirm the universal link is working properly.

wagmi config:

    const metadata = {
        name: 'Johnnie test',
        description: 'playground app',
        url: 'https://my-domain',
        icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/179229932'],
        redirect: {

            universal: 'https://****/appkit', // masked domain
            linkMode: true,
        },
    }

    const chains = [mainnet, polygon, arbitrum] as const

    wagmiConfig = defaultWagmiConfig({ chains, projectId, metadata })

    createAppKit({
        projectId,
        wagmiConfig,
        defaultChain: mainnet,
        enableAnalytics: false,
    })

hey @putti-johnnie 👋 Which version of MetaMask are you using? Are you using the latest? Also, does the redirect work in Trust Wallet?

[putti-johnnie]

@ignaciosantise Yes, I am using the latest MetaMask from AppStore.
And it's not working for Trust wallet either.

Maybe I missed some config? Do I need any additional setup in the project dashboard except the iOS Bundle IDs?

[ignaciosantise]

@putti-johnnie maybe your project doesn't have deep-links enabled. Here's the official guide to enable them: https://reactnative.dev/docs/linking#enabling-deep-links

[putti-johnnie]

@ignaciosantise hmm... I am pretty sure the unniversal link is working on iOS. I have other feature working with universal link.

[ignaciosantise]

@putti-johnnie the config seems okey 🤔 can you provide a fresh project where i can repro the issue?

[putti-johnnie]

@ignaciosantise I can try to prepare a fresh project.

Meanwhile, could you please check my other issue?
Once a wallet is connected, how can I get the wallet address? walletClient does not get updated until refresh the app.
Thanks in advance.

[ignaciosantise]

@putti-johnnie you can use useAccount from wagmi

import { useAccount } from 'wagmi';

...

const { address } = useAccount();
