-- Requirements -
-
- This SDK targets apps that are using React Native SDK version
- 0.78.0 and up. If you're using an older React Native
- version, see the compatibility matrix below.
-
- This SDK fully supports React Native New Architecture and Expo 53+. -
---- ⚠️ Warning: If you are using Expo version less - than 53, you need to use react-native-auth0 version 4.x or - earlier. Version 5.x supports Expo 53 and above. -
-
- Platform compatibility -
-- The following shows platform minimums for running projects with this - SDK: -
-| Platform | -Minimum version | -
|---|---|
| iOS | -14.0 | -
| Android | -35 | -
- Our SDK requires a minimum iOS deployment target of 14.0. In your - project's ios/Podfile, ensure your platform target is set to 14.0. -
-platform :ios, '14.0'
-- Installation -
-First install the native library module:
-- With npm -
-$ npm install react-native-auth0 --save
- With Yarn -
-$ yarn add react-native-auth0
- Then, you need to run the following command to install the ios app - pods with Cocoapods. That will auto-link the iOS library: -
-$ cd ios && pod install
- Configure the SDK -
-- You need to make your Android, iOS or Expo applications aware that - an authentication result will be received from the browser. This SDK - makes use of the Android's Package Name and its analogous iOS's - Product Bundle Identifier to generate the redirect URL. Each - platform has its own set of instructions. -
-- Android -
---- Before version 2.9.0, this SDK required you to add an intent - filter to the Activity on which you're going to receive the - authentication result, and to use the
-singleTask- launchMode in that activity. To migrate your app - to version 2.9.0+, remove both and continue with - the instructions below. You can also check out a sample migration - diff - here. -
- Open your app's build.gradle file (typically at
- android/app/build.gradle) and add the following
- manifest placeholders:
-
android {
- defaultConfig {
- // Add the next line
- manifestPlaceholders = [auth0Domain: "YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN", auth0Scheme: "${applicationId}.auth0"]
- }
- ...
-}
-
- The auth0Domain value must be replaced with your Auth0
- domain value. So if you have samples.us.auth0.com as
- your Auth0 domain you would have a configuration like the following:
-
android {
- defaultConfig {
- manifestPlaceholders = [auth0Domain: "samples.us.auth0.com", auth0Scheme: "${applicationId}.auth0"]
- }
- ...
-}
-
- The applicationId value will be auto-replaced at
- runtime with the package name or ID of your application (e.g.
- com.example.app). You can change this value from the
- build.gradle file. You can also check it at the top of
- your AndroidManifest.xml file.
-
--- Note that if your Android application is using - product flavors, you might need to specify different manifest placeholders for - each flavor. -
-
- If you use a value other than applicationId in
- auth0Scheme you will also need to pass it as the
- customScheme option parameter of the
- authorize and clearSession methods.
-
- Take note of this value as you'll be requiring it to define the - callback URLs below. -
---- For more info please read the - React Native docs. -
-
- Skipping the Web Authentication setup -
-
- If you don't plan to use Web Authentication, you will notice that
- the compiler will still prompt you to provide the
- manifestPlaceholders values, since the
- RedirectActivity included in this library will require
- them, and the Gradle tasks won't be able to run without them.
-
- Re-declare the activity manually with
- tools:node="remove" in your app's Android
- Manifest in order to make the manifest merger remove it from the
- final manifest file. Additionally, one more unused activity can be
- removed from the final APK by using the same process. A complete
- snippet to achieve this is:
-
<activity
- android:name="com.auth0.android.provider.AuthenticationActivity"
- tools:node="remove"/>
-<!-- Optional: Remove RedirectActivity -->
-<activity
- android:name="com.auth0.android.provider.RedirectActivity"
- tools:node="remove"/>
-- iOS -
-
- Inside the ios folder find the file
- AppDelegate.[swift|m] add the following to it:
-
For Objective-C:
-#import <React/RCTLinkingManager.h>
-
-- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app openURL:(NSURL *)url
- options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey, id> *)options
-{
- return [RCTLinkingManager application:app openURL:url options:options];
-}
-For Swift:
-func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
- return RCTLinkingManager.application(app, open: url, options: options)
-}
-
- Inside the ios folder open the
- Info.plist and locate the value for
- CFBundleIdentifier, e.g.
-
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
-<string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
-
- and then below it register a URL type entry using the value of
- CFBundleIdentifier as the value for
- CFBundleURLSchemes:
-
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
-<array>
- <dict>
- <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
- <string>None</string>
- <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
- <string>auth0</string>
- <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
- <array>
- <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).auth0</string>
- </array>
- </dict>
-</array>
-
- If your application is generated using the React Native CLI, the
- default value of $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER) matches
- org.reactjs.native.example.$(PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier). Take note of this value as you'll be requiring it to define the
- callback URLs below. If desired, you can change its value using
- XCode in the following way:
-
-
-
-
- Open the
ios/TestApp.xcodeprojfile replacing - 'TestApp' with the name of your app or run -xed iosfrom a Terminal. -
- - - Open your project's or desired target's - Build Settings tab and on the search bar at the - right type "Product Bundle Identifier". - -
-
- Replace the Product Bundle Identifier value with
- your desired application's bundle identifier name (e.g.
-
com.example.app). -
- - - If you've changed the project wide settings, make sure the same - were applied to each of the targets your app has. - -
- If you use a value other than
- $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER) in the
- CFBundleURLSchemes field of the
- Info.plist you will also need to pass it as the
- customScheme option parameter of the
- authorize and clearSession methods.
-
--- For more info please read the - React Native docs. -
-
- Expo -
---- :warning: This SDK is not compatible with "Expo Go" app - because of custom native code. It is compatible with Custom Dev - Client and EAS builds -
-
- To use the SDK with Expo, configure the app at build time by
- providing the domain and the
- customScheme values through the
- Config Plugin. To do this, add the following snippet to app.json or
- app.config.js:
-
{
"expo": {
...
"plugins": [
[
"react-native-auth0",
{
"domain": "YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN",
"customScheme": "YOUR_CUSTOM_SCHEME"
}
]
]
}
}
---- :info: If you want to switch between multiple domains in your app, - refer - here -
-
| API | -Description | -
|---|---|
| domain | -- Mandatory: Provide the Auth0 domain that can be found at the - Application Settings - | -
| customScheme | -
- Optional: Custom scheme to build the callback URL with. The
- value provided here should be passed to the
- customScheme option parameter of the
- authorize and clearSession methods.
- The custom scheme should be a unique, all lowercase value with
- no special characters.
- |
-
- Now you can run the application using
- expo run:android or expo run:ios.
-
- Callback URL(s) -
-- Callback URLs are the URLs that Auth0 invokes after the - authentication process. Auth0 routes your application back to this - URL and appends additional parameters to it, including a token. - Since callback URLs can be manipulated, you will need to add this - URL to your Application's Allowed Callback URLs for - security. This will enable Auth0 to recognize these URLs as valid. - If omitted, authentication will not be successful. -
-- On the Android platform this URL is case-sensitive. Because of that, - this SDK will auto convert the Bundle Identifier (iOS) and - Application ID (Android) values to lowercase in order to build the - Callback URL with them. If any of these values contains uppercase - characters a warning message will be printed in the console. Make - sure to check that the right Callback URL is whitelisted in the - Auth0 dashboard or the browser will not route successfully back to - your application. -
-- Go to the - Auth0 Dashboard, select your application and make sure that - Allowed Callback URLs contains the URLs defined - below. -
-- If in addition you plan to use the log out method, you must also add - these URLs to the Allowed Logout URLs. -
-- Whenever possible, Auth0 recommends using - Android App Links - and - Apple Universal Links - for your callback and logout URLs. Custom URL schemes can be - subject to - client impersonation attacks. -
-- 💡 If your Android app is using - product flavors, you might need to specify different manifest placeholders for - each flavor. -
-- Android -
-- Custom Scheme -
-{YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME}.auth0://{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}/android/{YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME}/callback
-- App Link (Recommended): -
-https://{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}/android/{YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME}/callback
---- Replace {YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME} and {YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN} with your - actual application package name and Auth0 domain. Ensure that - {YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME} is all lowercase. -
-
- To enable App Links, set the auth0Scheme to
- https in your build.gradle file.
-
android {
- defaultConfig {
- manifestPlaceholders = [auth0Domain: "@string/com_auth0_domain", auth0Scheme: "https"]
- }
-}
-- This configuration ensures that your app uses https for the callback - URL scheme, which is required for Android App Links. -
-- Enable Android App Links Support -
-- Android App Links - allow an application to designate itself as the default handler of a - given type of link. For example, clicking a URL in an email would - open the link in the designated application. This guide will show - you how to enable Android App links support for your - Auth0-registered application using Auth0's Dashboard. -
--
-
-
-
- Go to - Auth0 Dashboard > Applications > Applications, and select the name of the application to view. -
-
- -
-
- Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page, and select - Show Advanced Settings. -
-
- -
-
- Select Device Settings, provide the - App Package Name and - the SHA256 fingerprints of your app’s signing certificate for - your Android application, and select Save Changes. -
-
-
-
--- You can use the following command to generate the fingerprint - using the Java keytool in your terminal: -
-keytool -list -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore-
- To learn more about signing certificates, see Android's - Sign Your App - developer documentation. -
-- iOS -
-- Custom Scheme -
-{PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}.auth0://{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}/ios/{PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}/callback
-- Universal Link (Recommended): -
-https://{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}/ios/{PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}/callback
---- Replace
-{PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}and -{YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN}with your actual product bundle - identifier and Auth0 domain. Ensure that - {PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER} is all lowercase. -
- Configure an associated domain for iOS -
-- This step requires a paid Apple Developer account. It is needed to - use Universal Links as callback and logout URLs. Skip this step to - use a custom URL scheme instead. -
-- Configure the Team ID and bundle identifier -
-- Scroll to the end of the settings page of your Auth0 application and - open Advanced Settings > Device Settings. In the - iOS section, set Team ID to your - Apple Team ID, and App ID to your app's bundle identifier. -
-
-
-
- This will add your app to your Auth0 tenant's
- apple-app-site-association file.
-
- Add the associated domain capability -
-- In Xcode, go to the Signing and Capabilities - tab - of your app's target settings, and press the - + Capability button. Then select - Associated Domains. -
-
-
-
- Next, add the following - entry - under Associated Domains: -
-webcredentials:YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN
-Example
-
- If your Auth0 Domain were example.us.auth0.com, then
- this value would be:
-
webcredentials:example.us.auth0.com
-
- If you have a custom domain, replace YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN with your custom domain.
-
- For the associated domain to work, your app must be signed with - your team certificate - even when building for the iOS simulator. Make - sure you are using the Apple Team whose Team ID is configured in - the settings page of your Auth0 application. -
-- Refer to the example of - Using custom scheme for web authentication redirection -
-- Next Steps -
---- This SDK is OIDC compliant. To ensure OIDC compliant responses - from the Auth0 servers enable the - OIDC Conformant switch in your Auth0 dashboard - under
-Application / Settings / Advanced OAuth. For - more information please check - this documentation. -
- Web Authentication -
-- The SDK exports a React hook as the primary interface for performing - web authentication through the - browser using Auth0 - Universal Login. -
-
- Use the methods from the useAuth0 hook to implement
- login, logout, and to retrieve details about the authenticated user.
-
- See the
- API Documentation
- for full details on the useAuth0 hook.
-
- First, import the Auth0Provider component and wrap it
- around your application. Provide the domain and
- clientId values as given to you when setting up your
- Auth0 app in the dashboard:
-
import { Auth0Provider } from 'react-native-auth0';
const App = () => {
return (
<Auth0Provider domain="YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN" clientId="YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID">
{/* YOUR APP */}
</Auth0Provider>
);
};
export default App;
-- You can also pass custom headers that will be included in all API - requests: -
-import { Auth0Provider } from 'react-native-auth0';
const App = () => {
return (
<Auth0Provider
domain="YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN"
clientId="YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID"
headers={{ 'X-Custom-Header': 'custom-value' }}
>
{/* YOUR APP */}
</Auth0Provider>
);
};
export default App;
-Using the `Auth0` class
-
- If you're not using React Hooks, you can simply instantiate the
- Auth0 class:
-
import Auth0 from 'react-native-auth0';
const auth0 = new Auth0({
domain: 'YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN',
clientId: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID',
});
-- You can also pass custom headers that will be included in all API - requests: -
-import Auth0 from 'react-native-auth0';
const auth0 = new Auth0({
domain: 'YOUR_AUTH0_DOMAIN',
clientId: 'YOUR_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID',
headers: {
'X-Custom-Header': 'custom-value',
},
});
-- Then import the hook into a component where you want to get access - to the properties and methods for integrating with Auth0: -
-import { useAuth0 } from 'react-native-auth0';
-- Login -
-
- Use the authorize method to redirect the user to the
- Auth0
- Universal Login
- page for authentication. If scope is not specified,
- openid profile email is used by default.
-
-
-
-
- The
isLoadingproperty is set to true once the - authentication state of the user is known to the SDK. -
- -
- The
userproperty is populated with details about the - authenticated user. Ifuserisnull, no - user is currently authenticated. -
- -
- The
errorproperty is populated if any error occurs. -
-
const Component = () => {
const { authorize, user, isLoading, error } = useAuth0();
const login = async () => {
await authorize();
};
if (isLoading) {
return (
<View>
<Text>SDK is Loading</Text>
</View>
);
}
return (
<View>
{!user && <Button onPress={login} title="Log in" />}
{user && <Text>Logged in as {user.name}</Text>}
{error && <Text>{error.message}</Text>}
</View>
);
};
-Using the `Auth0` class
-auth0.webAuth
.authorize()
.then(credentials => console.log(credentials))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
---- Web Authentication flows require a Browser application installed - on the device. When no Browser is available, an error of type -
-a0.browser_not_availablewill be raised via the - provided callback. -
- SSO Alert Box (iOS) -
-
- Check the FAQ for more information about - the alert box that pops up by default when using - Web Auth on iOS. -
---- See also - this blog post - for a detailed overview of Single Sign-On (SSO) on iOS. -
-
- Logout -
-
- Log the user out by using the clearSession method from
- the useAuth0 hook.
-
const Component = () => {
const { clearSession, user } = useAuth0();
const logout = async () => {
await clearSession();
};
return <View>{user && <Button onPress={logout} title="Log out" />}</View>;
};
-Using the `Auth0` class
-auth0.webAuth.clearSession().catch((error) => console.log(error));
-- Credentials Manager -
--
-
- - Check for stored credentials - -
- - Retrieve stored credentials - -
- Local authentication -
- - Credentials Manager errors - -
- The Credentials Manager allows you to securely store and retrieve - the user's credentials. The credentials will be stored encrypted in - Shared Preferences on Android, and in the Keychain on iOS. -
-
- The Auth0 class exposes the
- credentialsManager property for you to interact with
- using the API below.
-
--- 💡 If you're using Web Auth (
-authorize) through - Hooks, you do not need to manually store the credentials after - login and delete them after logout; the SDK does this - automatically. -
- Check for stored credentials -
-- When the users open your app, check for valid credentials. If they - exist, you can retrieve them and redirect the users to the app's - main flow without any additional login steps. -
-const isLoggedIn = await auth0.credentialsManager.hasValidCredentials();
if (isLoggedIn) {
// Retrieve credentials and redirect to the main flow
} else {
// Redirect to the login page
}
-- Retrieve stored credentials -
-- The credentials will be automatically renewed using the - refresh token, if the access token has expired. - This method is thread safe. -
-const credentials = await auth0.credentialsManager.getCredentials();
---- 💡 You do not need to call credentialsManager.saveCredentials() - afterward. The Credentials Manager automatically persists the - renewed credentials. -
-
- Requiring Authentication before obtaining Credentials -
---- :warning: The
-requireLocalAuthenticationmethod is no - longer available as part of the -CredentialsManagerclass or the -useAuth0Hook from v4 of the SDK. -
--- ℹ️ You need to use at least version
-0.59.0of React - Native, as it usesFragmentActivityas the base - activity, which is required for biometric authentication to work. -
- You can enable an additional level of user authentication before - retrieving credentials using the local authentication supported by - the device, for example PIN or fingerprint on Android, and Face ID - or Touch ID on iOS. -
-- Refer to the instructions below to understand how to enable - authentication before retrieving credentials based on your setup: -
-Using Auth0 Class:
-
- The Auth0 class constructor now accepts a new
- parameter, which is an instance of the
- LocalAuthenticationOptions object. This needs to be
- passed while creating an instance of Auth0 to enable
- authentication before obtaining credentials, as shown in the code
- snippet below:
-
import Auth0 from 'react-native-auth0';
const localAuthOptions: LocalAuthenticationOptions = {
title: 'Authenticate to retrieve your credentials',
subtitle: 'Please authenticate to continue',
description: 'We need to authenticate you to retrieve your credentials',
cancelTitle: 'Cancel',
evaluationPolicy: LocalAuthenticationStrategy.deviceOwnerWithBiometrics,
fallbackTitle: 'Use Passcode',
authenticationLevel: LocalAuthenticationLevel.strong,
deviceCredentialFallback: true,
};
const auth0 = new Auth0({
domain: config.domain,
clientId: config.clientId,
localAuthenticationOptions: localAuthOptions,
});
-Using Hooks (Auth0Provider):
-
- Auth0Provider now accepts a new parameter, which is an
- instance of the LocalAuthenticationOptions object. This
- needs to be passed to enable authentication before obtaining
- credentials, as shown in the code snippet below:
-
import { Auth0Provider } from 'react-native-auth0';
const localAuthOptions: LocalAuthenticationOptions = {
title: 'Authenticate to retrieve your credentials',
subtitle: 'Please authenticate to continue',
description: 'We need to authenticate you to retrieve your credentials',
cancelTitle: 'Cancel',
evaluationPolicy: LocalAuthenticationStrategy.deviceOwnerWithBiometrics,
fallbackTitle: 'Use Passcode',
authenticationLevel: LocalAuthenticationLevel.strong,
deviceCredentialFallback: true,
};
const App = () => {
return (
<Auth0Provider
domain={config.domain}
clientId={config.clientId}
localAuthenticationOptions={localAuthOptions}
>
{/* YOUR APP */}
</Auth0Provider>
);
};
export default App;
-
- Detailed information on LocalAuthenticationOptions is
- available here

- Features and Platform Support -
-- This library provides a unified API across Native (iOS/Android) and - Web platforms. However, due to security models and underlying - technology, not all features are available on every platform. -
-| Feature / Method Category | -Native (iOS/Android) | -Web (Browser) | -Notes & Rationale | -
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Authentication | -- | - | --- | -
webAuth.authorize() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -
- Primary login method. Uses
- ASWebAuthenticationSession/Custom Tabs
- on Native and loginWithRedirect on Web.
- |
-
webAuth.clearSession() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -- Primary logout method. Clears the session - cookie on the server via a browser redirect. - | -
webAuth.handleRedirectCallback() |
- ❌ | -✅ | -
- Web-only. Manually processes the callback
- from Auth0. Handled automatically when using the
- Auth0Provider hook.
- |
-
| Credential Management | -- | - | --- | -
credentialsManager.getCredentials() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -
- Retrieves stored tokens. On Native, it uses the secure
- Keychain/Keystore. On Web, it uses the
- @auth0/auth0-spa-js cache and
- getTokenSilently.
- |
-
credentialsManager.hasValidCredentials() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -Checks for a valid local session. | -
credentialsManager.saveCredentials() |
- ✅ | -❌ | -- Native-only. Manually saving credentials is - required on Native. On Web, this is handled automatically by - the underlying SPA SDK and is a no-op. - | -
credentialsManager.clearCredentials() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -- Clears locally stored tokens. On Web, this performs a - "local-only" logout. - | -
| Direct Authentication Grants | -- | - | --- | -
auth.passwordRealm() |
- ✅ | -❌ | -- Not supported on Web for security reasons. - The Resource Owner Password Grant exposes credentials to the - browser and is not recommended for Single Page Applications. - | -
auth.passwordless...() |
- ✅ | -❌ | -
- Not supported on Web. Passwordless flows on
- the web should be configured via Universal Login and initiated
- with webAuth.authorize().
- |
-
auth.loginWith...() (OTP/SMS etc) |
- ✅ | -❌ | -- Not supported on Web. These direct grant - flows are not secure for public clients like browsers. - | -
| Token & User Management | -- | - | --- | -
auth.refreshToken() |
- ✅ | -❌ | -
- Not supported on Web. Token refresh is
- handled automatically by getCredentials() via
- getTokenSilently() on the web.
- |
-
auth.userInfo() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -
- Fetches the user's profile from the
- /userinfo endpoint using an access token.
- |
-
auth.createUser() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -
- Calls the /dbconnections/signup endpoint. Works
- on both platforms.
- |
-
auth.resetPassword() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -
- Calls the
- /dbconnections/change_password endpoint. Works on
- both platforms.
- |
-
users(token).patchUser() |
- ✅ | -✅ | -- Calls the Management API. Works on any platform with a valid - token, but use with caution in the browser. - | -

- If your main application project is configured to use Swift 6, and
- you encounter build errors related to Swift version
- incompatibilities with react-native-auth0 or its
- dependencies (like Auth0.swift, JWTDecode,
- SimpleKeychain), you can ensure these specific pods are
- compiled with Swift 5.
-
- While react-native-auth0 (from v5.0.0-beta.1 onwards)
- and its direct Swift dependencies are configured to use Swift 5,
- your project's build settings might try to override this. To enforce
- Swift 5 for these pods:
-
- Recommended: Podfile post_install Hook
-
- Add the following post_install hook to your
- application's ios/Podfile. This is generally the most
- robust way to manage build settings for dependencies:
-
# In your application's ios/Podfile
-post_install do |installer|
- installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
- # Target the react-native-auth0 pod and its Swift dependencies
- if ['Auth0', 'A0Auth0', 'JWTDecode', 'SimpleKeychain'].include?(target.name)
- target.build_configurations.each do |config|
- config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '5.0'
- end
- end
- end
