NativeScript Auth0

Auth0 is a social login provider for NativeScript allowing you to choose between 50 different providers. Use the Auth0 portal to select and configure the providers you would like to make available in your NativeScript application. The Auth0 NativeScript plugin will dynamically load your chosen providers into your application.

The dynamically loading feature reduces the amount of dependencies you’ll have in your application. You also don’t have to worry about loading and managing Cocoapods or Android Jars specific to each implementation.

Auth0 is a freemium service. The free tier supports up to 7,000 active users. Auth0 paid service levels are very reasonable.

In addition to managing many login providers, Auth0 also has solutions for application analytics, logging, web tasks and more. Take a look at all of the Auth0 features and services.

Requires NativeScript version >=7.0.0.

    console.log(result);
}).catch((error: Error | WebAuthException) => {
