I found out this article on Auth0 about iOS, it launches the webview or browser for social sign in, with custom API. Is there something like this available for android.

> **[Add Authentication To Your iOS Apps with Centralized Login](https://auth0.com/blog/using-centralized-login-to-add-authentication-to-your-ios-apps/)**
>
> In this tutorial we implement centralized logins for iOS both manually and using the Auth0 SDK.

I have searched a lot but unable to find out some thing like this for android

Hey there @Naofilms!

I have no experience in Android but judging by one of our articles:

> **[Google Blocks OAuth Requests Made Via Embedded Browsers](https://auth0.com/blog/google-blocks-oauth-requests-from-embedded-browsers/)**
>
> OAuth authorization requests made to Google via embedded browsers have been blocked by Google.

**Starting April 20, 2017 , it will no longer allow OAuth requests to Google via embedded browsers, otherwise known as web views.** if that’s what you’re asking for.

In addition to what you asked, you can also find this helpful as a reference point:

> **[Authenticate on Android Using Social Logins](https://auth0.com/blog/how-to-authenticate-on-android-using-social-logins/)**
>
> Learn how to implement social logins on Android with Facebook, Google, Twitter and Instagram as providers

Hope it will help some way!

Thanks @konrad.sopala. I am using `WebAuthProvider` to initiate the google sign in page. I get result in `Credentials` class, but `Credentials` does not have `code_verifier` and `code` fields.

In the above mentioned blog, auth0 providing a direct URL launching mechanism in iOS to perform login operation. Is there any way in android to perform login task without using `WebAuthProvider`
