⚠️ ARCHIVED: This repository is using Flutter 1.7 for the sample app. You can find the latest version of the similar implementation on this new repo. The new version is using Flutter 2.0 (stable) with null safety enabled, and is tested on Android, iOS & Web.

The updated Medium article for "Flutter: Implementing Google Sign In" is here.

Flutter Google Sign In using Firebase

Checkout my Medium article "Flutter: Implementing Google Sign In".

In this app, I have implemented Google Sign In using Firebase for both Android and iOS, fixing all the issues with the latest Flutter updates. To understand how to fix all the Firebase issues in Flutter make sure you check out my Medium article.

NOTE: The project is tested on Flutter 1.7 (stable) and using all the latest versions of the plugins.

Project versions

There are three versions of this project available:

• Simple Google Sign In (master)
• Combined with Auto Login (auto_login)
• Combined with Local Authentication using Biometric (local_auth)

Using this app

If you want to clone and use this app, then you have to complete the following steps:

Step 1: Generate the SHA-1

Use the following command to generate SHA-1:

keytool -list -v \
-alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

Step 2: Complete the Firebase setup

First of all, complete the whole Firebase setup for both Android and iOS. You will get two files while doing the setup, one for each platform. You have to place the google-services.json & GoogleService-Info.plist files in the respective directory of each platform. For more info, check out my Medium article.

NOTE: USE THE SHA-1 GENERATED FROM YOUR SYSTEM

Step 3: Completing the iOS integration

For the iOS part, you have to do one more step. You will find a TODO in Info.plist file, just complete that.

Step 4: Run the app

Now, you can run the app on your device using the command:

flutter run

Methods

Following are two useful methods for authentication using Firebase and Google Sign In. You can use these as the basic template for your starting project.

NOTE: These does not check for all edge cases and you should add other security restrictions as per your requirement in your production app

For signing in using a Google account:

Future<String> signInWithGoogle() async {
  await Firebase.initializeApp();

  final GoogleSignInAccount googleSignInAccount = await googleSignIn.signIn();
  final GoogleSignInAuthentication googleSignInAuthentication = await googleSignInAccount.authentication;

  final AuthCredential credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
    accessToken: googleSignInAuthentication.accessToken,
    idToken: googleSignInAuthentication.idToken,
  );

  final UserCredential authResult = await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential);
  final User user = authResult.user;

  if (user != null) {
    // Checking if email and name is null
    assert(user.email != null);
    assert(user.displayName != null);
    assert(user.photoURL != null);

    name = user.displayName;
    email = user.email;
    imageUrl = user.photoURL;

    assert(!user.isAnonymous);
    assert(await user.getIdToken() != null);

    final User currentUser = _auth.currentUser;
    assert(user.uid == currentUser.uid);

    print('signInWithGoogle succeeded: $user');

    return '$user';
  }

  return null;
}

For signing out of a Google account:

Future<void> signOutGoogle() async {
  await googleSignIn.signOut();

  print("User Signed Out");
}
