Native Apps

How would native apps make use of hanko? The examples are all web-based frontends.

Hi, native apps can use Hanko backend or Hanko Cloud for authentication, incl. passkeys. We did a PoC for Android and are working on the same for iOS:

• https://docs.hanko.io/guides/mobile_guide
• https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko-android-example

@FlxMgdnz, thanks for the quick reply! Is there an SDK for Flutter?

[FlxMgdnz]

Not yet unfortunately. But an SDK is not required. Integration can be done without an SDK and should be straightforward when following the mobile guide.

We'll do Flutter and React Native examples as soon as possible, but it may take a few more weeks.

@FlxMgdnz, looking forward to the SDK!

You could use a webview in your native app ?

That’s what I do to make dev simpler . You can argue that it’s more secure also since it’s a type of sandbox. You just need to then get the token to the native layer after the auth flow has completed.

also the user sees visually that auth is using https .

I don’t know if Hanko has first class support for this ?
