Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

When trying to connect with a Chase account, the Chase page shows an error message.

What is the root cause of that problem?

As pointed out by the error message, the android_package_name is missing. When we open the plaid page, the app will request an open plaid bank login API that passes redirectURI to the API to get the plaid token.

App/src/libs/actions/Plaid.ts

Lines 12 to 20 in d1a7dca

	function openPlaidBankLogin(allowDebit: boolean, bankAccountID: number) {
	// redirect_uri needs to be in kebab case convention because that's how it's passed to the backend
	const {redirectURI} = getPlaidLinkTokenParameters();
	const params: OpenPlaidBankLoginParams = {
	redirectURI,
	allowDebit,
	bankAccountID,
	};

Based on the Plaid docs, for Android, we should use android_package_name instead of redirect_uri.

getPlaidLinkTokenParameters already returns the android package name when it's an Android platform, but we never use it.

App/src/libs/getPlaidLinkTokenParameters/index.android.ts

Lines 4 to 6 in d1a7dca

	const getPlaidLinkTokenParameters: GetPlaidLinkTokenParameters = () => ({
	androidPackage: CONST.ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME,
	});

This issue happens after this PR where we only use redirectURI from getPlaidLinkTokenParameters.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Include androidPackage to the API params.

const {redirectURI, androidPackage} = getPlaidLinkTokenParameters();
const params: OpenPlaidBankLoginParams = {
    redirectURI,
    androidPackage,

The error message "android_package_name is missing" typically occurs in the context of integrating with third-party services or APIs that require an Android package name to be specified. Here are a few common scenarios where this error may occur:

Firebase Authentication: When integrating Firebase Authentication in an Android app, the android_package_name parameter is required to link the Firebase project with the Android app. If this parameter is missing or incorrect, you may encounter the "android_package_name is missing" error.

Google Play Services API: When using Google Play Services APIs, such as Google Maps or Google Sign-In, the android_package_name is often required for authentication and authorization. If this parameter is not provided or is incorrect, you may receive the error message.

Third-Party SDKs: Some third-party SDKs or APIs may require the Android package name to be specified in order to authenticate requests or ensure proper communication between the app and the service. If the android_package_name is missing in these cases, you may encounter errors.

To resolve this error, make sure to check the documentation of the specific service or API you are integrating with and ensure that the android_package_name parameter is correctly provided in your configuration. Double-check that the package name specified matches the package name of your Android app.

Proposal looks good to me. @bernhardoj, @aimane-chnaif do you understand why this started to show up now? Or is it just that no one noticed it till now?

@bernhardoj @aimane-chnaif do we need a regression test?

[bernhardoj]

If there is no regression step yet, I think we need one. Taken from the PR QA Steps:

1. Open a workspace bank account page
2. Select "Connect online with Plaid"
3. Select Chase bank account
4. Press Continue with Login. A new web window will open
5. Verify there is no Link OAuth error message
