[9.2.0] oauth.authenticate no longer resolves after login on Android

[mjmasn]

This is a critical issue.

In our MainActivity.java we're using:

	public boolean shouldAuthenticate() {
		return false;
	}

(and the equivalent on iOS)

When a user clicks login on our welcome screen, we call oauth.getAuthCredentials then if that fails we call oauth.authenticate. Since upgrading from 8.3.0 to 9.2.0 this authenticate call no longer resolves at all on Android.

I've whipped up a quick reproduction repo here: https://github.com/mjmasn/AuthIssue

The repo above contains a fresh app created with forcereact with the typescript template with the following changes:

• Returning false from shouldAuthenticate() in MainActivity.java
• Replaced app.tsx with a component that renders 3 buttons that call the oauth functions and log to the console
• Gradle 7.3 pre-release so I can build with Java 17 I reverted this and installed Java 11 to rule out any issues here

I've done some further investigation - looks like the issue was introduced in this commit forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android@4bb9cca

Hi @bhariharan @wmathurin @mjmasn did you find any workaround for this, i am facing this one as well. I am currently using v9.2.0

[kchelvan]

@AnuragTiwari1 I managed to solve this temporarily by reverting the change made on the commit that @mjmasn mentioned.
