[Feature]: Add support for wallet_switchEthereumChain in the walletConnect provider

[alexkeating]

Is your request related to a problem?

• When a user connects to our app with walletconnect we want to be able to switch the chain they are connected to in our app.

Feature Description

Implement wallet_switchEthereumChain in the below provider. My guess is that the wallet connect session could be updated to the passed in chainId.

@alexkeating we will take a look in to this and see if can get a workaround like recreating the session to make it work.

Great, thank you!

Any updates on this? Anything I can do to help move this along?

Hey @alexkeating sorry we have a lot in our backlog at the moment, so have not had a chance to get to this yet. You can try and work out a solution and create a PR if you have time which will speed up the process as we would only need to review in that case.

I am upgrading Umbra to the latest version of the web3-onboard wallet connect package, and it doesn't seem to be switching when wallet_switchEthereumChain is sent. I am not sure why yet, but I thought it would be good to surface, and I am wondering if you guys are seeing the same thing locally.

@alexkeating I have a PR open that you can track that issue here
Should have an alpha fix available shortly

@alexkeating an alpha version of this fix has been published and you can try the alpha release of the WalletConnect package at version 2.2.1-alpha.1 which you can find here
