initiate Google Signin without the GIDSignInButton but programmatically

Question

Is there a way to launch the Google SignIn programmatically without pressing on the GIDSignInButton ?

I'm trying to wrap a signal around hitting google api where the user must log in.

sort of :

googleSignInSignal().then(getPersonalDataSignal)

Answer 1

You can actually call this method instead:

GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().signIn()

It worked fine for me and it seems to be a much cleaner approach.

I hope it can help someone with the same question.

Answer 2

You can try something like this - not pretty, but works:

GIDSignInButton *googleButton  =[[GIDSignInButton alloc] init];
[googleButton sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
