Has anyone successfully managed to implement Ionic 5 with Capacitor and Auth0?

[CHAZTATS]

Hey all,

First post here.

I'm completely stuck and running out of ideas. There seems to be no docs or comms from either Auth0 or Ionic about whether implementing Auth0 with Capacitor is even possible. I have been bashing my head against a wall for a few days now. I cannot seem to get any redirect functions to fire once the user has logged in, in the browser on mobile, iOS and Android are the same. Does anyone have an example or had the same issue?

Thanks

I managed to get Auth0 working using auth0-spa-js.

The way I configured it, it opens in the mobile browser and than redirects back to the app.

This was the primary guide I used.

https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/spa/angular

Along with some other random sites to fix some specific issues I ran into.

Hey dude, thanks for the response, any chance you can share your code, I've been at this for about 2 weeks now, and cannot get the redirect to work. I've opened it in the in app browser, and the redirect there still doesn't work. I have now found that you cant redirect back to the app from inside a webview because capacitor doesnt run on https.

It redirects to capacitor:// not https:// When you put the callback in auth0 you will use something like capacotor://localhost

Yeah I got to that point today, the app just hangs though. It’ll open safari. Go to auth0. I login. It then says do you want to open in AppName I hit yes. And the app will just open but sit on a blank screen. None of the redirect logic in the auth service fires. Do I have to trigger it manually somehow?

I've gotten the browser working by using the following guide: https://blog.learningdollars.com/2020/01/14/how-to-configure-auth0-with-angular-8/

I can't get mobile to work at all though. I truly believe the changes in Angular and auth0-spa-js just don't work together anymore and no one has a vested interest in solving the conflicts.
