sdk/flutter

Dart / Flutter SDK for iOS, Android, and desktop using flutter_web_auth_2, PKCE S256 authorization code flow, and flutter_secure_storage token persistence.

Status

Package status is Implemented and verified locally. The Dart and Flutter unit-test suite passes and covers PKCE, nonce and ID token verification, guest capability, session expiry, and storage contracts. Platform-channel paths and a real IdP round-trip still require a device or simulator. This page documents implemented behavior; it is not a production-readiness claim.

Registry status: UNPUBLISHED. Install this SDK only from the repository source checkout; do not use an external package registry.

Installation

Add to pubspec.yaml and run flutter pub get:

# pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  xid:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/StringKe/xid
      path: sdk/flutter
      ref: main

Platform setup

Register the callback URI scheme on each platform.

Quick start

import 'package:xid/xid.dart';

final client = XidClient();

// 1. Initialize (fetches OIDC discovery). offline_access is rejected until DPoP is implemented.
await client.configure(
  const XidOptions(
    issuer: 'https://xid.dev',
    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    redirectUri: 'com.example.myapp://auth/callback',
    scopes: ['openid', 'profile', 'email'],
  ),
);

// 2. Sign in (opens system browser, PKCE S256)
final session = await client.signIn();
print(session.user.email);

// 3. Get the current unexpired access token. Expiry requires reauthorization.
final token = await client.getAccessToken();

// 4. Get the current unexpired session.
final current = await client.getSession();

// 5. Clear secure storage and optionally open end_session. No revoke request is sent.
await client.signOut();

Core API

Method Description
configure(XidOptions, {storageAdapter?}) Initialize SDK and fetch OIDC discovery. Must be called before all other methods.
signIn({}additionalParameters?, audience?}) Open system browser with PKCE S256 authorization URL; exchange code and return XidSession.
handleRedirect(String url) Process App Link or custom scheme callback. Called internally by signIn; invoke manually for cross-process redirect recovery.
getSession() Return the current unexpired XidSession, or null after clearing expired local state.
getAccessToken({}bool forceRefresh}) Return the current unexpired access token. forceRefresh: true clears the session and requires reauthorization.
signOut({}bool openLogoutUrl}) Clear secure storage and optionally open end_session_endpoint in the system browser; no revoke request is sent.
setTokenStorage(TokenStorageAdapter) Replace the default SecureStorageAdapter (flutter_secure_storage) with a custom implementation.

Dependencies

Package Version Purpose
flutter_web_auth_2 ^4.0.0 System browser authorization session and callback receipt
flutter_secure_storage ^9.2.4 Platform secure storage (Keychain / Keystore / DPAPI)
crypto ^3.0.3 SHA-256 for PKCE S256 challenge computation
http ^1.2.2 HTTP client for discovery and token endpoints

Security

  • Public client — no client secret stored or transmitted.
  • PKCE S256 only. No implicit flow or password grant.
  • OAuth state generated per request; validated in handleRedirect to prevent CSRF.
  • New sessions store access and ID tokens in platform secure storage. The refreshToken compatibility field remains null, and offline_access is rejected until DPoP is implemented.

Known limitations

  • JWKS-backed ES256 ID token verification, nonce validation, and persisted state-keyed PKCE are implemented and locally tested. Real device and IdP validation are still required before L4 support.
  • offline_access is rejected until the SDK implements DPoP sender binding; access-token expiry requires reauthorization.
