Description

Would be great if the kit supported email confirmation in mobile apps!

As far as I understand the confirm middleware is responsible for this functionality in the web app scope. I do not know what is the proper strategy here. Should a user be sent first to the /confirmation/:token url after he/she clicks on the confirmation link in the email body and then somehow redirected to a mobile app, if it were installed, or he/she can be sent directly to the mobile app?

Research direction
Investigate how the 'confirm' middleware works in the web app (likely in the Apollo server code). Look into existing email confirmation flow for web to understand token generation and verification. Then research deep linking strategies to redirect users from email confirmation link back to the mobile app (e.g., using universal links or custom URL schemes). The issue lacks details on the mobile app framework used; check if React Native is used and examine any existing authentication flows in the mobile codebase. Consider opening a discussion to clarify requirements.
