Confluence does not load on Android with React Native Webview

I am building an app with React Native for the company that I work for, and one of the specifications is opening up our Confluence wiki inside a webview in the app.  The wiki is hosted on our servers and can be connected to use https://wiki.  The app sets up a VPN into our system using our MDM, so that is not the issue, as I can connect using https://wiki on iOS. Additionally, the wiki is protected by a log-in managed by Okta, but I do not believe that Okta is the problem as when I try to connect to a website like Service Now, also secured by Okta, I get our log in.

 

The issue happens when I open the WebView into Confluence.  It should redirect into our Okta sign-in page, as this is what happens on the web and on iOS.  However, on Android, I just get a loading animation for a few seconds then the webview goes blank and nothing changes.  The connection URL for Confluence is not the issue, as when I try to connect with the public URL wiki.mycompanyname.com, the same thing happens.  I think it is an issue with Confluence redirecting to log-on or its homepage on mobile in the React Native android webview.  

 

Are there any work arounds that I can do that allow me to display Confluence in the webview?

Thank you!
