Stripe - Register the User as a seller - Android app

In my bubble app, when I use the “Register the user as a seller” action, everything works great from my iOS app and using a browser. But when I execute this action on my Android app, I see this error when trying to login or signup for Stripe (the first screen in the onboarding process).

“Something went wrong. Please try again.”

I know, not very helpful. I used BDK Native to wrap my app and upon searching I read that the webview used in wrapper apps can sometimes not handle cookies or other web related features well and they suggested making it an external url call to launch the devices default browser. I talked to BDK Native, and he said that shouldn’t be necessary and many of his customers use Stripe without issue. So either something’s changed, or I’m missing something simple I can do to resolve this issue. Again, it works great, except when trying from my Android app, so I don’t think it’s the way I implemented the workflows…

Anyone else run into this?

I was able to resolve by changing my Register User as Seller workflow to now use an API Connector, manually calling these API’s and using BDK Native’s external website link. My problem now is I don’t seem to have the ability to modify the Stripe Account ID for the seller once I link the account. In the Stripe Plugin it seems to do that for you… but doing it manually (API Connector calls) I don’t seem to have access to update that field (even though I can see it in read only use cases). Thoughts?
