The "kotlin-multiplatform-oidc" library provides a solution for OAuth2 authentication in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile applications. It supports Authorization Code Flow and can be used in both iOS and Android applications. The library leverages platform-specific features like ASWebAuthenticationSession and Chrome Custom Tabs for authentication, abstracting away the platform-specific code required in your app.
To use the library, you can add it to your project as a dependency and use the provided factory to abstract the login process. This minimizes the amount of platform-specific code you need to write.
However, it’s important to note that the library is in an early stage of development and has not been tested against many IDPs.
