I am using Flutter in conjunction with Auth0 (Universal Login Page), and I am faced with the task of implementing functionality that allows an iframe within the app to utilize the app’s cookies for invoking the getTokenSilently() method
main.dart
class _MainViewState extends State<MainView> {
Credentials? _credentials;
late Auth0 auth0;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
auth0 = Auth0('auth0_domain', 'auth0_clientid');
}
void _login() async {
try {
final credentials = await auth0.webAuthentication().login();
setState(() => _credentials = credentials);
} catch (e) {
print('Login error: $e');
}
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Flutter Auth0 Demo'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
if (_credentials != null) ...[
ElevatedButton(onPressed: () {
Navigator.of(context).push(
MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => const IframePage()),
);
},
child: const Text('Show iframe')
),
Text('Logged in!\nAccess Token: ${_credentials?.accessToken}')
]
else
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: _login,
child: const Text('Log in with Auth0 %)'),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
iframe_page.dart
class IframePage extends StatelessWidget {
const IframePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Iframe Page'),
),
body: const Center(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text('IFrame'),
Expanded(
child: WebView(
initialUrl: 'https://iframe_url',
javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
)
)
]
)
)
);
}
}
iframe code example
const auth0Token = await getAccessTokenSilently();
....
<React.StrictMode>
<Auth0Provider
domain={domain}
clientId={clientId}
authorizationParams={{
redirect_uri,
}}
>
<App />
</Auth0Provider>
</React.StrictMode>
When sending a request to Auth0 from an iframe in my Flutter application on iOS 13+, I encounter an issue where the cookies are missing in this request. This could lead to a series of potential problems related to authentication and session management. What specific challenges might arise from this situation, and what approaches can be adopted to resolve them?
