Flutter SDK support for Web applications

[lihua.zhang]

Problem Statement

Auth0 has released their SDK for Flutter applications:

Auth0-flutter SDK First Availability!

auth0-flutter SDK: First Availability! We are pleased to announce the first availability release of our auth0-flutter, our brand new SDK for adding authentication to Flutter applications. With auth0-flutter, you now have native Auth0 support for key Authentication API operations like login with username and password , signup, get user info, renew user credentials and reset password. Included in this release we also extend support for web auth login/logout, automatic storage and renewal of use…

However, it does not appear to have any built-in support for Web-based environments such as desktop Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Solution

Currently, we don’t have plan to provide direct support for additional platforms such as desktop/web.

However, the SDK does allow for additional platforms to be added by the community without Auth0 getting involved directly. And we have orchestrated it in such a way that makes that process a bit easier, with a separate platform interface library.

So basically, users of the SDK who need a layer to support a specific desktop/web platform would need to write that for themselves. This approach allows anyone in the community to provide support for any other platform and distribute it publicly for anyone to use in combination with our SDK.

We encourage you to submit feedback about the Flutter SDK here.
