React native Redirect authentication api

Question

As i am new to react native stuck at one point.

I am developing an app in which i am using wordpress as a backend to store the new users data.

To Create a new user i need authentication as i am using wp rest api plugin to create user.

For authentication i have used Oauth Server plugin in wordpress admin.

Now issue is as per the Oauth documentation i need to get the authentication code in my app.

So want to know how to redirect_uri to our react-native app so that i can get authorization code in app?

Answer 1

To get authorization code in react-native app, You need to set the custom Url scheme.

twitter has well documented guide to create it.

After creating the Url scheme. You need to set the redirect_uri as explained here in wp-oauth server's docs Step 2 and replace the created custom url of your app in redirect_uri.

This will redirect you to your app when oauth server's callback with the access token that you can use in your react-native application.
