Auth0Provider may need an ephermeralSession option for initial load?

Description

Reading up on ephemeralSession, it seems that on iOS passing this property should prevent the iOS SSO dialog from showing; all good, seems to work, especially on logout.

However, it seems like the <Auth0Provider> on mount is trying to see if the user is logged in...it goes to isLoading immediately, and will correctly keep a user logged in. But, it appears this background initial check or whatever is happening is NOT taking ephermeralSession into account, or at least I couldn't find a config parameter for it.

The consequence is even if I intend to use ephemeralSession: true when I go to authorize, the initial check still pops the dialog and makes the user confirm or cancel, which kind of ruins the whole point of ephemeral session in the first place.

Reproduction

Can't do a small repo right now, but I imagine you'd see it like this still:

• Expo app, setup with a custom login domain
• Wrap main app in <Auth0Provider>
• Call const { authorize, isLoading, user } = useAuth0(); or similar in a mounted component
• Dialog on iOS will pop for SSO

@NicholasGWK Sorry on the delayed response.

This feels weird as the popup should show only when authorize is called without ephemeralSession. Any chance authorize is called from somewhere else on component being mounted?

@NicholasGWK Any chance you can share a screen recording of this issue?
