Transaction does not return from contract interaction using Wallet Connect/Metamask #2452

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I am just puzzled and looking for some more info!

Currently we interact with a contract using ethers, the user authenticates with an injected metamask provider, and everything is dandy. What my problem is now is I am authenticating users on mobile with Wallet Connect, and transactions are succeeding, but I do not get any response to update my UI.

Here is an example (names have been replaced but this contract WORKS and is functioning completely fine on desktop)

const tx = await signedDemoContract.customContractMethod(PARAM);

console.log("TX", tx);

const txReceipt = await tx.wait();

console.log("TX RES", txReceipt);

What happens on mobile is when we hit the contract interaction, the user is redirected to their mobile wallet (I have tested with mobile metamask) and they are given the option to approve or reject the transaction. After approving, I wait on metamask and they give me a notification that the transaction succeeds. I can verify this by checking etherscan.

When I go back to my dapp, the first console.log('TX') does not even log. We don't even get to the waiting portion because the first transaction response does not return. So is this an issue in the way I am setting up the contract with ethers, or maybe a metamask/wallet connect problem? Sorry there are a lot of moving parts.

Super bizarre, but it's like Metamask is not even returning the transaction response. Any help is appreciated!!

I am having exactly the same problem. Works fine when using the MetaMask browser or extension, but when using WalletConnect, it never returns anything about the transaction (and the transaction itself appears to be successful)

I have just been avoiding WalletConnect and using WalletLink and MetaMask (directly). It's a really big problem. Can you tell if its happening on other wallets or just MetaMask?

I have a WalletConnect compatible wallet and hitting the same problem.

let txHash= await contract["someFunction(...)"](params);
console.log("Result : " + txHash);

Everything works fine when I interact with my dApp on desktop using MetaMask. dApp received the result and updates state.
Nothing is received when signing from the mobile wallet. Doesn't hit the log line. I'm sure a correct response is sent from the app over WC in the form of:

{"id": ..., "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": "0xabc...123"} (in encrypted form of course)

Transaction is successful.
MetaMask also uses WC on mobile, so it's the same problem.
Super annoying.

Do you get any useful info if you use provider.on("debug", console.log)?

Wow. This actually helped me a lot. I didn't know I could get such low level logs.
Problem was related to a wrong chainId returned by the connector (eth_chainId) and the logs helped me find out about it.
For reference, one could try wrapping the WC provider using
new providers.Web3Provider(this.wcProvider, "optimism");
with the optional network name parameter instead of auto-detect.
Then if the chainId does not match the expected one, you'll get some error upfront.
Note that I was already setting correct chainId on the session and the tx and that's why the tx was working. But for the response to be correctly handled, eth_chainId should also return the correct value to the dApp.
Thank you so much.

Same problem here. Only happens with metamask through walletconnect. Using Metamask in browser works fine.
