Social logins - Social logins are a popular and easy way of authentication in mobile apps.

There are several ways of Authentication in React Native Apps It also includes breaking changes related to AndroidX, but don’t worry we’ll create an Android test app as well. React Native 0.60 is the latest version (at the time of writing this post), and is much more reliable and robust than previous versions.

Also you get to keep a single source code for both Android and iOS app. React Native has been around for around 4 years, and has been very popular among developers for its ease of usage over Swift / Java.

Social logins follows standard privacy protocols and hence are more reliable for information sharing Trust - Nowadays, people generally trust social logins more over custom email logins.This can include fetching user tweets etc. Google integration - If your app uses Google authentication, you can use Google APIs inside your app as well.Single solution - Google login can allow your users to use single login credentials across multiple devices.Google login will always have a valid email/phone number associated. No “verify email” - If you use a custom-email authentication of your own, you will have to verify the email if it is a valid one or not.No “forgot password” - When your app uses Google login, the user does not have to worry about forgetting password for your app’s login.In other scenario, user will have to type in an email/password and login Ease of use - When a new user uses your app, only two buttons clicks are required to login using Google.There are several reasons why you should use a Google login in your app If you have read the iOS version already, skip the next few sections and jump to Steps for Google authentication directly. I have another blog explaining how to implement Google Login in React Native for iOS, using Firebase. Complete source code of this tutorial is available here - React-Native-google-login (android branch) We’ll implement the authentication using react-native-google-signin npm package, and then test it on Android. In this post, we’ll learn how to setup Google Login in React Native apps using Firebase.
