[bug] Mobile Safari cannot open page because address is invalid

[jeanregisser]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

RainbowKit Version

1.0.4

wagmi Version

unsure (version used by https://www.rainbowkit.com/)

Current Behavior

Tapping Argent, Trust Wallet or Omni shows "Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid."
This is on https://www.rainbowkit.com/

RPReplay_Final1687945964.MP4

Expected Behavior

Tapping these wallets should open them reliably on iOS (Safari).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to https://www.rainbowkit.com/ on Safari on iOS
2. Tap "Connect Wallet"
3. Tap Argent / Trust Wallet / Omni
4. Notice the error popup from Safari

Note sometimes it works the first time, but then fails quite reliably.

Link to Minimal Reproducible Example (CodeSandbox, StackBlitz, etc.)

No response

Anything else?

This is quite annoying bug on the day WC v1 shuts own. Having no other options but to use the latest RainbowKit version which has this bug.

This was tested on iOS 16.5.1

From what I see, the problem may come from this line:

rainbowkit/packages/rainbowkit/src/utils/getWalletConnectUri.ts

Line 9 in 88168e1

? new Promise<string>(resolve => provider.once('display_uri', resolve))

Where it's doing an async call to get the display_uri whereas previously with v1, the uri was directly returned.

rainbowkit/packages/rainbowkit/src/utils/getWalletConnectUri.ts

Line 10 in 88168e1

: provider.connector.uri;

I haven't checked the internals of this. More of a suspicion.

@jeanregisser Do you have these wallets installed? This is currently the expected UX if a user does not have the wallet installed. There is also another case where Safari will block further attempts to deep link into an app if you hit Cancel on the "Open this page in x" alert until the next refresh or the page is opened in a new tab. Mobile Safari is death by a thousand cuts.

For WalletConnect v2, we are relying on native Deep Links instead of Universal Links (which would previously deliver a user to a fallback website if the wallet is not installed). Fetching a WalletConnect v2 pairing is slower, and iOS will block Universal Link redirects in our existing architecture, so we're pushing users through the native Deep Link popup for the time being. We will soon improve this UX and execute a rearchitecture to prefer Universal Links for some wallets, but wanted to ensure a stable transition to WalletConnect v2 first.

Hey, I do have these 3 wallets installed.

It's indeed what you said, I had unintentionally cancelled the first open and then all subsequent opens failed with the error.

Thanks 🙏

Looking forward to see universal links come back.
