Twitter auth SDK showing error ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME

[snijsure]

I am using com.twitter.sdk.android:twitter:2.3.2@aar in my Android application.

On certain devices mainly Samsung S6, running Android 6.0 I users are reporting that they see following error message in webview.

Webpage not available: The webpage at twittersdk://callback?version=2.3.1.171&app=[app_id] could not be loaded because: net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME:

The code that initiates the twitter auth looks like this:

        final String clientId = authApiManager.getClientId();
        TwitterAuthConfig authConfig;
        final Resources resources = this.getResources();

        authConfig = new TwitterAuthConfig(resources.getString(R.string.authapi_twitter_key),
                resources.getString(R.string.authapi_twitter_secret));

        Twitter tw = new Twitter(authConfig);
        Fabric.with(this, tw);
        twitterAuthClient = new TwitterAuthClient();

Any suggestion why I might be getting ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME errors when trying to auth using TwitterSDK?

FWIW, I upgraded to using Twitter kit 3.1.0 and now I see following message

Webpage not available: The webpage at twittersdk://callback?version=3.1.0.8&app=[app_id] could not be loaded because: net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME:

The ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME error is commonly because of your browser issue . There’s no application on your device which can handle that particular action. It is a Chromium bug . In Chrome version 40 and up, this bug has resurfaced, but only if you are manually entering the URL of the redirect page in the address bar. The issue is on the chromium issue tracker here
