Add FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK when context is not an Activity to prevent crashing - #765

People that might come across this same issue, in the meantime I've created a workaround. You can implement your own ContextWrapper where you override the startActivity function, here you can "inject" the flag yourself.

Although not the nicest option, this workaround relieves us of maintaining a fork of this repo ourselves with this MR's fix.

val wrappedContext: Context = object : ContextWrapper(applicationContext) {
    override fun startActivity(intent: Intent?) {
        intent?.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        super.startActivity(intent)
    }
}

Then pass this context to where you need it.

Approved and merged your changes here: 66d41d2 with a small caveat.

While the comment and the explanation correctly explains the caller needs to be an activity or specify a task id or create a new task, the check was done on the context used in the intent creation not the actual caller. This works in this case because the context used is the same but it's not really correct. As such, I moved your code to performAuthManagementRequest:.

Let me know if this is what you expected and if you have further concerns.

You're absolutely correct, that place looks more justified!
