Hi am creating a ionic app. I want to include facebook authentication on it as well. I have been testing ng-cordova-oauth plugin, which is easy to use, however the html page it redirects to is not very convenient for the end users as I have used similar pages myself. I have also noticed in a lot of the native apps that facebook authentication happens almost in the background, either these apps detect facebook app authentication or use ios sdk. Anyway my question is apart form the javascript authentication is there a native platform facebook authentication plugin for the ionic framework, that is less verbose than the ng-cordova-oauth?

Yup it exist, it wasn’t updated is some time so it has some problems when used with some other plugins but it can be easily fixed.
