Convex Auth with Expo and Native Apple and Google Sign In
Hello, I am currently following the documentation for using Convex Auth with Expo. However, the documentation provides an example to sign up with the in app web-browser when used with Apple or Google Sign In.
Although I get why it's done that way, as Convex Auth is in an early stage and still in beta, but displaying a webview to sign in with Apple/Google in an app is not the perfect experience for users.
I would like to use Convex Auth but with
expo-apple-authentication and @react-native-google-signin/google-signin that allows to provide native experience sign-in.
Question: How should I do to implement it?
I guess something like I should code the isLoading, isAuthenticated, and fetchAccessToken within a useAuthXXX hook?
But it seems refreshing the access token with Apple is not straight-forward, so not sure if I am not digging into a hole that is going to take me a large amount of time.2 Replies

I haven't done this so I don't know, but please leave a note about it in the convex auth GitHub repo issues so other people who are interested can find it.
You might want to try Clerk instead of Convex Auth if there are features you need that aren't there and are difficult to implement. If you get this set up it'd be great to publish a guide for it or at least describe what you did in a Convex Auth GitHub issue.
