Introduction
This article provides a comprehensive guide on implementing Sign in with Apple functionality in your Android Flutter application using Firebase.
Prerequisites
- Flutter development environment setup
- Firebase project configured
- Android development environment setup
Steps
1. Configure Firebase
- Create a new Firebase project or use an existing one.
- Enable Sign in with Apple in the Firebase console under Authentication > Sign-in method.
- Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file and add it to your Android project.
2. Install Firebase Packages
dependencies:
firebase_auth: ^3.3.10
firebase_core: ^1.18.0
flutter_sign_in_with_apple: ^2.1.1
3. Implement Sign in with Apple Logic
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter_sign_in_with_apple/flutter_sign_in_with_apple.dart';
// Function to handle Apple sign-in
Future signInWithApple() async {
// Request the user's Apple ID credentials
final appleCredential = await SignInWithApple.getAppleIDCredential(
scopes: [
AppleIDAuthorizationScopes.email,
AppleIDAuthorizationScopes.fullName,
],
);
// Create an OAuth credential from the Apple ID credentials
final oauthCredential = OAuthCredential.credential(
idToken: appleCredential.identityToken,
accessToken: appleCredential.authorizationCode,
);
// Sign in to Firebase using the OAuth credential
return await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(oauthCredential);
}
// Function to handle sign out
Future signOut() async {
await FirebaseAuth.instance.signOut();
}
4. Create the Sign in UI
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
class SignInPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_SignInPageState createState() => _SignInPageState();
}
class _SignInPageState extends State {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Sign In'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
// Apple sign-in button
SignInWithAppleButton(
onPressed: () async {
try {
final userCredential = await signInWithApple();
// Handle successful sign in
} catch (e) {
// Handle errors
}
},
),
SizedBox(height: 20),
// Sign out button
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
signOut();
},
child: Text('Sign Out'),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
Code Example
The following code demonstrates the complete implementation of Sign in with Apple in a Flutter Android app:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:flutter_sign_in_with_apple/flutter_sign_in_with_apple.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: 'Sign in with Apple',
home: SignInPage(),
);
}
}
class SignInPage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_SignInPageState createState() => _SignInPageState();
}
class _SignInPageState extends State {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Sign In'),
),
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
SignInWithAppleButton(
onPressed: () async {
try {
final userCredential = await signInWithApple();
// Handle successful sign in
} catch (e) {
// Handle errors
}
},
),
SizedBox(height: 20),
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
signOut();
},
child: Text('Sign Out'),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
Future signInWithApple() async {
final appleCredential = await SignInWithApple.getAppleIDCredential(
scopes: [
AppleIDAuthorizationScopes.email,
AppleIDAuthorizationScopes.fullName,
],
);
final oauthCredential = OAuthCredential.credential(
idToken: appleCredential.identityToken,
accessToken: appleCredential.authorizationCode,
);
return await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(oauthCredential);
}
Future signOut() async {
await FirebaseAuth.instance.signOut();
}
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can successfully integrate Sign in with Apple into your Android Flutter application using Firebase, providing users with a convenient and secure authentication option.
