Improve SignOut UX

Improve SignOut UX

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 6 comments

The unavoidable UX where a user has to consent to Sign Out is pretty confusing. However, with iOS 12 now there is apparently a work-around using the newly minted ASWebAuthenticationSession to handle Sign In and calling a normal SFSafariViewController to end the session.

Example of another app doing so: stacks-archive/blockstack-ios#29

Hi @RichiCoder1 ,

Fully agree, Sign Out consent is very confusing. And thanks for the hint with workaround! We will check whether it makes sense to use SFSafariViewController to end the session

Am I understand correctly, that this probably solve the issue with showing the alert: "App Wants to Use oktapreview.com to Sign In" during signOut?

Hopefully!

@jcislinsky No updates on this. Making sign in via ASWebAuthenticationSession and sign out via SFSafariViewController are not safe in our library. From abstraction point of view, these classes are not related.
Imagine if Apple changes this behavior and it stops working. For now it's just a workaround not a solution.

As I can see from the PR provided in issue' description - sign in/out are done via SFSafariViewController. So issue' description is confusing.

Consider workarounds described and this one.
