Native Facebook Login

cordova
1

Hello everyone,

My Ionic app currently uses Firebase Social Authentication to log users into the app. The authentication is displayed in the Inapp browser. However, I want to use the native Facebook app on the user’s device to authenticate them (if they have the app) and to fallback to the browser version if they do not. I know of the ngCordova Facebook plugin but the documentation is not really good.
Does anyone know good resources that would teach me how to properly use this plugin? Or is there an alternative plugin?
Thank you everyone.

Hello,
I’m interested in this too, since I now use the oAuth ngCordova plugin, and I found out that you can’t access friends list of the current user with the graph API :frowning:
The tricky part is to check whether Facebook native is installed or not.

Hey! I have created a starter template for the sole purpose of integrating Native Facebook and Native Google login. Check it out on github. It has complete instructions on how to set up Google and Facebook auth.

Hello siddhartha

thanks for posting this, but i am struggling to implement this. Despite that i checked the demo apk and the facebook login is painfully slow.
