Hello!

Currently I'm trying to implement Sign-in with Google in my Android app. The only way I see right now is to use WebAuthProvider with "google-oauth2" connection which works over WebView. But it would be great to have native Google Sign-in for better user experience.

Is there any way to exchange Google token for Auth0 access and id tokens? I tried to implement it through AuthenticationAPIClient.loginWithOAuthAccessToken(googleToken, "google-oauth2") or AuthenticationAPIClient.loginWithNativeSocialToken but Auth0 api internally returns 4xx error codes.

Thanks!

@zhukic The WebAuthProvider, as its name suggest, makes use of a web-auth flow to authenticate you. To clarify "Webview" (the component) is not recommended and actually will have OAuth requests blocked. See our blogpost about that.

Regarding your inquiry, "native" Google Sign-In (through Google's SDK) is not currently supported. The server side needs to support that provider token type first. Currently, the supported ones are Apple and Facebook. You can check the quickstart for both https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/native. You can fill a product request here.

Hello people! Hope you are having a great day!

I just wanted to ask if there are plans for implementing this provider like you did with Apple Sign In here
https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/social-identity-providers/apple-native

Basically the solution would be to send Google Sign In id_token to Auth0 and retrieve the access token.

Is that possible now? If not, are you planning to release it? Is there any estimated time?

Thank you!!!

I need as well some option to integrate native google login with auth0 token exchange. I see it works for facebook but it would be nice to have it for google as well with auth0 loginWithNativeSocialToken option and custom token and tokenType.
