Unable to get Access Token from Linkedin API for react native

I have tried to implement a login functionality where I want to get name,email and photo of the user using Linkedin APIs, using react-native-app-auth but on clicking ‘Allow’, I am not getting back any data and neither is the WebView closing. Upon manually closing the WebView, i am getting error :

The operation couldn’t be completed. (org.openid.appauth.general error -3.)]

Code

LinkedIn Component

Tried a lot of different approaches but none of them seem to work.
I have attached the code.
Any help is appreciated.

    I don’t know it works or not in react-native. last week I worked on LinkedIn API and they changed their API endpoint and permission keyword etc.

    you can use their official package: "linkedin-api-client"
    https://github.com/linkedin-developers/linkedin-api-js-client#constructor-1

    get login URL :

    const { AuthClient } = require('linkedin-api-client');

const params = {
  clientId:'',
  clientSecret:'',
  redirectUrl: '',
  enabled:true,
  logSuccessResponses:true,
  
}
const authClient = new AuthClient(params);


cosnt getUrl = () => {
  let scopes = [
    'profile', 
    'email',
    'openid', 
    'w_member_social',
   ]
 const url =  authClient.generateMemberAuthorizationUrl(scopes)

}

    get the url for login.

    your redirectUrl request query get a code,

    then call this functionality :

    const { AuthClient,RestliClient } = require('linkedin-api-client');

const restClient = new RestliClient();

exports.linkedinCallbackUrlController = async (req,res,next)=>{
  const { code } = req.query

    const  token = await  authClient.exchangeAuthCodeForAccessToken(code)
    
    // user info
    restClient.get({
      resourcePath: '/userinfo',
      accessToken: token.access_token
    }).then(response => {
      const profile = response.data;
      console.log("🚀 ~ file: linkedinController.js:37 ~ exports.linkedinCallbackUrlController= ~ profile:", profile)
    });
    res.json(token)
}
