This plugin is a fork of @codetrix-studio/capacitor-google-auth. We created this fork because the original plugin is "virtually" archived with no way to reach the maintainer in any medium, and only one person (@reslear) has write rights but doesn't handle native code.
If you're currently using @codetrix-studio/capacitor-google-auth
, we recommend migrating to this plugin. You can follow our migration guide here.
All social logins in one plugin
This plugin implement social auth for:
- Google (with credential manager)
- Apple (with 0auth on android)
- Facebook ( with latest SDK)
We plan in the future to keep adding others social login and make this plugin the all in one solution.
This plugin is the only one who implement all 3 majors social login on WEB, IOS and Android
Best experience to read the doc here:

npm install @capgo/capacitor-social-login
npx cap sync
How to get the credentials How to setup redirect url
For android you need a server to get the callback from the apple login. As we use the web SDK .
Call the initialize
method with the apple
provider
await SocialLogin.initialize({
apple: {
clientId: 'your-client-id',
redirectUrl: 'your-redirect-url',
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'apple',
options: {
scopes: ['email', 'name'],
},
});
call the initialize
method with the apple
provider
await SocialLogin.initialize({
apple: {
clientId: 'your-client-id', // it not used at os level only in plugin to know which provider initialize
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'apple',
options: {
scopes: ['email', 'name'],
},
});
Docs: How to setup facebook login
More information can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/getting-started
Then call the initialize
method with the facebook
provider
await SocialLogin.initialize({
facebook: {
appId: 'your-app-id',
clientToken: 'your-client-token',
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'facebook',
options: {
permissions: ['email', 'public_profile'],
},
});
In file ios/App/App/AppDelegate.swift
add or replace the following:
import UIKit
import Capacitor
import FBSDKCoreKit
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
FBSDKCoreKit.ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(
application,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions
)
return true
}
...
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey: Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
// Called when the app was launched with a url. Feel free to add additional processing here,
// but if you want the App API to support tracking app url opens, make sure to keep this call
if (FBSDKCoreKit.ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(
app,
open: url,
sourceApplication: options[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.sourceApplication] as? String,
annotation: options[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey.annotation]
)) {
return true;
} else {
return ApplicationDelegateProxy.shared.application(app, open: url, options: options)
}
}
}
Add the following in the ios/App/App/info.plist
file inside of the outermost <dict>
:

More information can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/ios
Then call the initialize
method with the facebook
provider
await SocialLogin.initialize({
facebook: {
appId: 'your-app-id',
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'facebook',
options: {
permissions: ['email', 'public_profile'],

For Google login to work properly across all platforms, you need different client IDs and must understand the requirements for each mode:
await SocialLogin.initialize({
google: {
webClientId: 'YOUR_WEB_CLIENT_ID', // Required for Android and Web
iOSClientId: 'YOUR_IOS_CLIENT_ID', // Required for iOS
iOSServerClientId: 'YOUR_WEB_CLIENT_ID', // Required for iOS offline mode (same as webClientId)
mode: 'online', // 'online' or 'offline'
}
});
Important Notes:
webClientId
: Required for Android and Web platformsiOSClientId
: Required for iOS platformiOSServerClientId
: Required only when usingmode: 'offline'
on iOS (should be the same value aswebClientId
)mode: 'offline'
: Returns onlyserverAuthCode
for backend authentication, no user profile datamode: 'online'
: Returns user profile data and access tokens (default)
The implemention use the new library of Google who use Google account at Os level, make sure your device does have at least one google account connected
Call the initialize
method with the google
provider:
await SocialLogin.initialize({
google: {
webClientId: 'your-web-client-id', // Required: the web client id for Android and Web
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'google',
options: {
scopes: ['email', 'profile'],
},
});
Call the initialize
method with the google
provider:
await SocialLogin.initialize({
google: {
iOSClientId: 'your-ios-client-id', // Required: the iOS client id
iOSServerClientId: 'your-web-client-id', // Required for offline mode: same as webClientId
mode: 'online', // 'online' for user data, 'offline' for server auth code only
},
});
const res = await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'google',
options: {
scopes: ['email', 'profile'],
},
});
Offline Mode Behavior:
When using mode: 'offline'
, the login response will only contain:
{
provider: 'google',
result: {
serverAuthCode: 'auth_code_for_backend',
responseType: 'offline'
}
// Note: No user profile data is returned in offline mode
}
Initialize method to create a script tag with Google lib. We cannot know when it's ready so be sure to do it early in web otherwise it will fail.
If you get this error on App Store Connect:
ITMS-91056: Invalid privacy manifest - The PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file from the following path is invalid: ...
How to fix:
- Make sure your app's
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
is valid JSON, with only Apple-documented keys/values. - Do not include a privacy manifest in the plugin, only in your app.
Problem: After submitting your app to Google Play, you receive this error:
Google Api Error: Invalid request - This release includes the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission
but your declaration on Play Console says your app doesn't use advertising ID. You must update your advertising
ID declaration.
Root Cause: The Facebook SDK automatically includes the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID
permission, even when you're only using Google and Apple sign-in.
Solutions:
If you're not using Facebook login, add this to your app's android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID" tools:node="remove" />
Make sure you have the tools namespace declared:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
In Google Play Console → App content → Data safety:
- Select "Yes, my app collects or shares user data"
- Under "Data types" → "Device or other IDs" → Select "Advertising ID"
- Specify usage purpose (usually "App functionality" and/or "Analytics")
For advanced users who want to completely exclude Facebook from builds, you can use Gradle's conditional dependencies, but this requires custom build configuration.
Verification: After implementing Solution 1, run:
./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration debugRuntimeClasspath | grep facebook
The Facebook dependencies should still be present (for compatibility), but the AD_ID permission should be removed from your final APK.
Problem: When users try to sign in with Google accounts supervised by Family Link, login fails with:
NoCredentialException: No credentials available
Root Cause: Family Link supervised accounts have different authentication requirements and may not work properly with certain Google Sign-In configurations.
Solution: When implementing Google Sign-In for apps that need to support Family Link accounts, use the following configuration:
import { SocialLogin } from '@capacitor/social-login';
// For Family Link accounts, disable filtering by authorized accounts
await SocialLogin.login({
provider: 'google',
options: {
style: 'bottom', // or 'standard'
filterByAuthorizedAccounts: false, // Important for Family Link (default is true)
scopes: ['profile', 'email']
}
});
Key Points:
- Set
filterByAuthorizedAccounts
tofalse
to ensure Family Link accounts are visible (default istrue
) - The plugin will automatically retry with 'standard' style if 'bottom' style fails with NoCredentialException
- These options only affect Android; iOS handles Family Link accounts normally
- The error message will suggest disabling
filterByAuthorizedAccounts
if login fails
Note: Other apps like Listonic work with Family Link accounts because they use similar configurations. The default settings may be too restrictive for supervised accounts.

If you use Google, Facebook, or Apple login, you must declare the data collected by their SDKs in your app's PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy
file (not in the plugin).

{
"NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes": [
{ "NSPrivacyCollectedDataType": "EmailAddress", "NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeLinked": true, "NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeTracking": false },
{ "NSPrivacyCollectedDataType": "Name", "NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeLinked": true, "NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeTracking": false },

This plugin implementation of google is based on CapacitorGoogleAuth with a lot of rework, the current maintainer is unreachable, we are thankful for his work and are now going forward on our own! Thanks to reslear for helping to tranfer users to this plugin from the old one and all the work.
