Hey @jh_kim ,

First thing is to create a Plug and play project for testnet. Then you have to create a project for mainnet **using the same project name!**

[![209103312-01310042-72f0-41da-8cba-8c739f34a001](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/metamaskbuilderhub/original/2X/0/02b30687cd6f35226795c9a78169dee668d854b1.png)

Then, inside this new project for mainnet you should add a whiltelisted URL

[![209103886-f24baf75-c155-43b7-aa5c-1871df6f9690](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/metamaskbuilderhub/original/2X/b/b6edb4e8ec07f934a2d11cf4fcc88e768854d4f8.png)

Dont forget to use the clientId from your **Mainnet project**

hi, vjgee,

I have set as “testnet” in the source but I should set the mainnet with “clientId” for mainset, not testnet?  
Also, should I create the mainnet as well for testnet?

Below is the sample.  
const web3auth = new Web3Auth(WebBrowser, {  
clientId,  
network: OPENLOGIN\_NETWORK.TESTNET,  
});

Best regards,

---

</div>

Can you try adding this parameter below to your code ?:

**web3AuthNetwork: ‘testnet’** instead of network: OPENLOGIN\_NETWORK.TESTNET,

Sample code below:

```auto
const web3Auth = new Web3Auth({
    clientId,
    chainConfig: {
      chainNamespace: 'eip155',
      chainId: '0x13881', // hex of 80001, polygon testnet
      rpcTarget: MUMBAI_PROVIDER_URL,
      displayName: 'Polygon Testnet',
      blockExplorer: 'https://mumbai.polygonscan.com/',
      ticker: 'MATIC',
      tickerName: 'Matic',
    },
    uiConfig: {
      theme: 'light',
    },
    web3AuthNetwork: 'testnet', // Add this line
  });

```

Ideally, you should create the same project on mainnet after testnet, whitelist on mainnet and use its clientId.

Hi,

same error, FYI, I used below.

const web3auth = new Web3Auth(WebBrowser, {  
clientId,  
chainConfig: {  
chainNamespace: ‘eip155’,  
chainId: ‘0x13881’, // hex of 80001, polygon testnet

tickerName: ‘Matic’,  
},  
web3AuthNetwork: ‘testnet’,  
});  
const info: any = await web3auth.login({  
loginProvider: LOGIN\_PROVIDER.GOOGLE,  
redirectUrl: resolvedRedirectUrl,

Please create the project for mainnet **using the same project name!** , inside this new project for mainnet you should add a whiltelisted URL and use the clientID from your **Mainnet project**

Please check below issue, even if I set testnet first already, the error was occured when create the “Mainnet”.

Even, I added the mainnet as your guide, the error is not fixed yet.  
Can we have a quick meeting via google meet?

I created new clinetId for this test as below and it shows the same issue in testnet and mainnet.  
below client id is for testnet.

also, please let me know about the “scheme” which name should be set.

const resolvedRedirectUrl = `${scheme}://openlogin`;

For Android build, it should be `scheme` defined in your `AndroidManifest.xml`. Check out [Installing PnP React Native SDK | Documentation](https://web3auth.io/docs/sdk/pnp/react-native/install#android)

For iOS build, you don’t need to add `redirectUrl`.

I already set the initiall code by following web3auth site and the page also was already added into my code.  
But, as I mentioned at the first inquery, it is still not working.

So, please let me know if it is any issue to have a quick meeting via google meet.

The issue has been resolved successfully.

The problem was related to adding `{scheme}://openlogin` to the whitelist section of the project. Please note that the scheme should not contain any underscores, such as “test\_app”.

@shahbaz I have added the correct schema and it does not contain any white spaces, and works fine on iOS.

The problem I am having is with android (trying google login) when I click on login after logging in it gives a button to go back to the app which does not work, can you help?

Hello @spapinwar,

May I know if you are using bare or expo flow? Also, have you followed the steps mentioned in [Installing PnP React Native SDK | Documentation | Web3Auth](https://web3auth.io/docs/sdk/pnp/react-native/install#bare-react-native-workflow-1)?

To better assist you, it would be helpful if you create a separate thread with code snippets, error messages, and logs. This will help in monitoring new threads and resolving the issue efficiently.
