Expo Google Sign-In Without a WebView: The Native Approach Using Clerk - Part 2
Blog post from Clerk
The second part of a series on implementing native Google Sign-In in Expo apps focuses on creating a custom authentication UI using the useSignInWithGoogle hook, integrating Google Sign-In with Email/OTP authentication, and managing user profiles and sessions. This approach provides full control over the UI, allowing users to authenticate with Google without using a WebView, while also supporting automatic account creation and linking when email addresses match existing accounts. The guide details the technical implementation of Google Sign-In for both Android and iOS platforms, including handling different configurations, potential errors, and session management, as well as providing solutions for production deployments and error handling. Additionally, it describes how to sign in and sign up using combined methods and discusses the benefits of using Clerk's managed authentication solutions over other Expo authentication approaches, emphasizing the ease of session management and user profile handling without requiring a separate Google Sign-In library.
