A Capacitor plugin for implementing social login with Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, and generic OAuth2 providers.
Capacitor Social Login is a plugin for Capacitor apps that provides a unified API for implementing social authentication with multiple providers. It solves the problem of managing different SDKs and configurations for Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, and generic OAuth2 providers by offering a single, consistent interface across all platforms.
Capacitor and Ionic developers building cross-platform mobile apps who need to implement social login functionality without managing multiple provider SDKs separately.
Developers choose this plugin because it provides a comprehensive, all-in-one solution with native implementations for each platform, reduces bundle size through configurable provider dependencies, and offers compatibility with existing Ionic Auth Connect setups for easier migration.

Provides a single, consistent interface for Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, and generic OAuth2 providers, eliminating the need to manage separate SDKs. The README demonstrates how all providers use the same login and initialize methods.
Offers platform-specific implementations (e.g., ASWebAuthenticationSession on iOS, WebView on Android) for optimal integration and security. This ensures seamless user experiences across Web, iOS, and Android.
Allows dynamic provider dependencies via capacitor.config.ts, enabling developers to exclude unused SDKs (e.g., setting facebook: false) to reduce app size and avoid permission conflicts like Google Play's AD_ID error.
Includes a preset wrapper (SocialLoginAuthConnect) and detailed migration guides, making it easy for teams to transition from the deprecated Ionic Auth Connect with minimal code changes.
Fully supports Facebook Business Login with permissions for Instagram, Pages, and other business features, including comprehensive documentation and example code for advanced use cases.
Requires manual native configuration for each provider, such as editing iOS AppDelegate.swift for Facebook or setting up server callbacks for Apple on Android, which increases initial setup time and potential for errors.
The plugin's major version must match Capacitor's, and only the latest version (e.g., v8) is actively maintained, forcing upgrades and risking breaking changes. The compatibility table shows older versions are unsupported.
Inclusion of provider SDKs can lead to app store submission problems, like the Google Play AD_ID permission error with Facebook, requiring careful configuration and declarations to avoid rejections.
While it integrates with secure storage, methods like decodeIdToken do not validate JWT signatures or issuer/audience claims, placing the burden of security verification on the developer or backend services.
