I'm building an app using react native with expo.

An image of my code is attached. The code is a useEffect that i have in a context that wraps the root layout of my app.

When my user leaves the app and comes back to the app, this block of code is triggered. It successfully passes the "if" check and tries to update the session. However it throws this error every time dispite the user being logged in with an oauth2 google session:

"Error updating current session: [AppwriteException: The chosen OAuth provider is unsupported. Please check the <a href="/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountCreateOAuth2Session">Create OAuth2 Session docs</a> for the complete list of supported OAuth providers.]"

Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

TL;DR
The `updateSession` function is not working for Google OAuth sessions.
