New Features Available in the Google Identity Services (GIS) Library

Google has introduced several new features to its Google Identity Services (GIS) library, aimed at enhancing authentication processes and reducing costs for developers. Key updates include the Android Verified Phone Number feature, allowing developers to request verified phone numbers linked to Google Accounts, and the Phone Number Hint API, which facilitates phone number sharing without requiring additional permissions or a Google account sign-in. GIS has also expanded support to include macOS, enhancing its integration within the Apple ecosystem, and has made its One Tap feature available on Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) browsers like Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on iOS, offering a seamless sign-in experience. Google has announced the deprecation of the Smart Lock for Passwords on Android and Google Sign-In for Websites, urging developers to transition to the GIS library for these functionalities. Despite the temporary disablement of the Verified Phone Number feature as of May 2023, Google remains committed to delivering secure and streamlined authentication solutions.
