Xamarin Forms Google Login using Web Auth and Docker Container

[@PaoloLeva]

Great video thanks, this is the only video that I have found that really explains how to use web authenticator from xamarin essentials 🙏

[@xamaringuy1951]

Great to hear that still this video adds value

[@teymurasadov295]

Works perfectly! I was wondering, is there a way to hide url bar to not show the backend endpoint?

[@brianfortuna50]

Hey when I run it on android it gives me the following error: "You must subclass the` WebAuthenticatorCallbackActivity` and create an IntentFilter for it which matches your `callbackUrl`.". Any ideas?

[@brianfortuna50]

@Xamarin Guy??

[@orangeclayproductions160]

Same problem here. Did you find the solution?

[@fonsusproguer]

Estoy teniendo el mismo problema, y no encuentro información al respecto. Incluso probé el código fuente de ejemplo y sucede lo mismo ☹

[@NiteshKumar-km3to]

I am also facing same problem please reply the solution

[@fonsusproguer]

Hello my friends, my solution was to match these values: Variable in the Web Api : const string callbackScheme = "xamarinessentials"; Variable in the Mobile App: var callbackUrl = new Uri("xamarinessentials://"); public const string CALLBACK_SCHEME = "xamarinessentials"; Blessings

I was wondering if the Web Authenticator could also be used to refresh an access token but it does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the doc. Please do a video on how to use refresh tokens to silently renew access tokens before it expires in Xamarin.Forms if you can. This topic is rarely discussed. Thanks!!

[@xamaringuy1951]

Please check out Facebook documentation for getting refreshtoken.

What is the best way to implement google authentication? in this case you use a intermediate server but in other cases they only use the phone.

[@xamaringuy1951]

This doc will clear all your doubts docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/web-authenticator

[@cameronblevins7324]

When I run the Android application @ around 11:00, I getting an error saying localhost refused to connect. Any ideas to resolve this?

Have you been able to implement Apple login? I have implemented Facebook and google successfully. The only problem I am getting with apple is the redirect url. I am using /signing-apple.

[@jennychen2105]

Thank you for sharing how Web Authenticator works. Would it be possible to use the Web Authenticator with Identity Server 4 to handle local logins? If possible, can you cover this in your upcoming videos. Thanks!!

[@xamaringuy1951]

Haven't tried might be a good idea to try.

[@haydarm.al-samawe9819]

thank you for this code, even its work for one hour, I try to refresh the token but I do not find any help in google, maybe you can help to guide me for some link or example that can be useful for refreshing the token .. thank you

[@aracakaroglu8726]

Very nice video. But Google Auth returns only email, how to return Name, Birthdate exct. and how to logout google auth from xamarin.

[@xamaringuy1951]

Please google it find out how it’s ✅. It’s fairly easy.

[@heymatt18]

When I press the button, it connects to local host but does not direct me to the google sign in, it instead stays at local host and displays the page not found screen. Anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this?

[@drackkeyner]

[@joshuasiuagan9327]

I need the IdToken to be returned into Web API how to generate it?
