Is native sign in with google / apple in Flutter possible with Appwrite?

TL;DR
Developers discuss the importance of implementing native sign in with Google/Apple in Flutter for mobile apps. Appwrite is working on creating Appwrite Functions to facilitate this. A GitHub issue is open for future implementation. A service that analyzes typing pattern for authentication is mentioned. Custom token login is supported by Appwrite. Ease of implementation and user experience are highlighted concerns. Solution mentioned to create an Appwrite function using a template from GitHub.

just a note, and I'm really not trying to be mean: I thought of this as the most basic and important part of oauth. Almost all mobile apps have this, if not all 🤷‍♂️ Required webview gives a ton of friction which users are not used to and also users can't use face id to sign in. It's really weird, not sure Apple would even allow this kind of thing + it lowers signup conversions by a lot

Appwrite supports any auth method via Custom token login.

We had a PoC internally where we used a service that analyzed your typing pattern to authenticate you 😅

might be nice addition to some docs or blog / video where you show how to do that for people who are more used to other BaaS (supabase, firebase, ...)

yes, that is in the works. We have a github issue: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/9015

with some details about how it can be implemented

we plan on creating Appwrite Functions to do this and a blog/tutorial/article with some more info

but, if you're in a rush, you can grab the function template yourself: https://github.com/appwrite/templates/pull/332

But this is just for Apple. Google one is still in the works

yeah thanks a lot!! i really don't mind anything as long as it works, it was supposed to be a 15 minute thing to be honest

is it not possible to just directly add it to cloud console/client sdks in the future? similar fashion to supabase for example

Steven

maybe, but it's quite a narrow scope: a specific endpoint just for apple and a specific endpoint just for google. plus Console side changes

yeah maybe, but its kinda important for mobile apps - not many sign-up-required apps exist without it anymore.

but ofc, up to you to decide

but with nice little youtube video and the 2 templates, it might be so easy (hopefully) it wont be needed
