11/30/2023, 11:42 AMhey @rubenstolk you can always follow our guide for website login, and then open a browser in the mobile app to login the user there. Once logged in, you can send the JWT to the mobile app to create a session specifically for the mobile app.

11/30/2023, 11:43 AMI was assuming that Supertokens would come with some standard SDKs like most Auth providers do.
r
rp_st
11/30/2023, 11:44 AMmost other auth providers launch a web browser to do the login
rp_st
11/30/2023, 11:44 AMand you can do that too with supertokens, as i mentioned above.
r
rubenstolk
11/30/2023, 11:45 AMRight, but we would have build that logic ourselves if I'm correct?
r
rp_st
11/30/2023, 11:45 AMlogic of launching the web browser and consuming the jwt?

rubenstolk
11/30/2023, 11:47 AMHe can't see the general channel because it's private I think?

11/30/2023, 11:49 AMRegarding the discussion above, yeah that's what we've though. We just wanted to make sure if there is or is not a recommended guide on that.

11/30/2023, 11:53 AMIs it something for the roadmap, to have this as a nice SDK for React Native etc?
r
rp_st
11/30/2023, 11:53 AMWe could add it. Or at least docs for it which you can use to copy / paste
rp_st
11/30/2023, 11:54 AMyou could open an issue about it, to keep track of it.

11/30/2023, 11:57 AMFYI, once you have the JWT in the mobile app, you can use that to call an api that does session verification and then creates its own session manaually here. As shown here: https://supertokens.com/docs/session/common-customizations/sessions/new-session
