[Solutions] Azure B2C integration

[reboottime]

How it works at a higher view

• Authentication with oAuth or OpenID providers:

  • Using Azure B2C: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/authentication/#azure
  • Under the hood, it uses Expo AuthSession
  • We can't use Expo Go for local development and testing of OAuth or OpenID Connect-enabled apps due to the inability to customize your app scheme. So the solution to test is using Development Builds

• Development Builds

  • What is it?: A development build is a debug build of your app that contains the expo-dev-client package.
  • How to use it
    • Install expo-dev-client: npx expo install expo-dev-client
    • Introduction: https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/introduction/

Configuration on the Azure Side

• After having a local build, find the IOS bundle identifier and attach the bundle identifier to the ios app
• Add redirect uri configuration in azure
