I can log in successful via LinkedIn OAuth and redirected back the successful url, and the user appears in Appwrite Cloud Auth section but getSession("current") throws a 401

Steps to reproduce...

click login
redirected to LinkedIn and login
redirected to successul url on my app
use getSession("current") throws a 401

JavaScript

const getAppwriteUser = async () => {
    let session = {};
    try {
      session = await account.getSession("current");
      let linkedinUser = {};
      if (session) {
        // fake data, get real profile info from LinkedIn
        linkedinUser = {
          imageUrl: "https://github.com/eddiejaoude.png",
          name: "TEST",
          email: "email TEST",
        };
      }
      setUser(linkedinUser);
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
      setUser(null);
    }
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    getAppwriteUser();
  }, []);

Console error

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()

Summary

Title: LinkedIn OAuth successful login, but `getSession("current")` returns 401 In this support thread, a developer successfully logs in with LinkedIn OAuth and is redirected back to their application. The user's LinkedIn profile is also created in Appwrite Cloud. However, when attempting to retrieve the current session using `getSession("current")`, the developer encounters a 401 error. To resolve this issue, the developer should check if the OAuth2 session for LinkedIn was created properly and verify that the session token is being sent correctly to the backend. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the backend is properly configured to handle the LinkedIn OAuth flow

What does your code for authenticating look like?
