Add social provider sign-in

Amplify Flutter v1 is now in Maintenance Mode until April 30th, 2025. This means that we will continue to include updates to ensure compatibility with backend services and security. No new features will be introduced in v1.

Please use the latest version (v2) of Amplify Flutter to get started.

If you are currently using v1, follow these instructions to upgrade to v2.

Prerequisites

When configuring Social sign-in through the Amplify CLI, it's important to exercise caution when designating attributes as "required." Different social identity providers have varied scopes in terms of the information they respond back to Cognito with. User pool attributes that are initially set up as "required" cannot be changed later, and may require you to migrate the users or create a new user pool.

How It Works

Sign-in with web UI will display the sign-in UI inside a webview. After the sign-in process is complete, the sign-in UI will redirect back to your app.

Platform Setup

Web

To use Hosted UI in your Flutter web application locally, you must run the app with the --web-port=3000 argument (with the value being whichever port you assigned to localhost host when configuring your redirect URIs).

Android

Add the following queries element to the AndroidManifest.xml file in your app's android/app/src/main directory, as well as the following intent-filter to the MainActivity in the same file.

Replace myapp with your redirect URI scheme as necessary:

<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name=
"android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" />
</intent>
</queries>
<application>
...
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="myapp" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
...
</application>

macOS

Open XCode and enable the App Sandbox capability and then select "Incoming Connections (Server)" under "Network".

Incoming Connections setting selected in the App Sandbox section of the runner signing and capabilities tab.

iOS, Windows and Linux

No specific platform configuration is required.
