WebView OAuth flows for desktop flutter apps

Desktop webview auth

This package enables Firebase OAuth on desktop platforms via webview

Supported providers:

Installation

macOS setup

The recaptcha verification flow is done on the local server, and it requires that the app has the following in the Release.entitlements:

<key>com.apple.security.network.server</key>
<true/>

To display webview on Linux, WebKit2GTK development libraries are used, if you don't have it already installed:

Ubuntu:

apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

Fedora:

dnf install webkit2gtk3-devel

Additionally, if Flutter is installed using snap, you might face issues compiling the app, to fix you would need to uninstall the snap version and install Flutter manually on Linux.

Nothing extra is needed to get started on Windows.
