Dependencies#

dependencies:
  flutter_secure_storage: ^9.2.2  # Secure token storage
  flutter_web_auth_2: ^4.1.0      # Browser OAuth flow
  pointycastle: ^3.9.1             # EC cryptography

API Surface#

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';

// Initialize
final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
  clientMetadata: ClientMetadata(
    clientId: 'https://example.com/client-metadata.json',
    redirectUris: ['myapp://oauth/callback'],
  ),
);

// Sign in
final session = await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');

// Restore
final restored = await client.restore(session.sub);

// Revoke
await client.revoke(session.sub);

Core API (Advanced)#

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';

// Lower-level control with OAuthClient
final client = OAuthClient(
  OAuthClientOptions(
    clientMetadata: {...},
    sessionStore: CustomSessionStore(),
    runtimeImplementation: CustomRuntime(),
    // ... full control over all components
  ),
);

// Manual flow
final authUrl = await client.authorize('alice.bsky.social');
// ... open browser, handle callback
final result = await client.callback(params);

Testing Status#

Unit Tests#

  • ❌ Not yet implemented
  • Next step: Add unit tests for core logic

Integration Tests#

  • ❌ Not yet implemented
  • Next step: Test with real OAuth servers

Manual Testing#

  • Ready for testing
  • Test with: bretton.dev (your own atproto identity)

Known Limitations#

1. Key Serialization (Minor)#

DPoP keys are regenerated on app restart. This works but:

  • Old tokens require refresh (bound to old keys)
  • Slight performance impact

Impact: Low - Automatic refresh handles this transparently Fix: Implement Key.toJson() / Key.fromJson() in flutter_key.dart

2. Local Lock Only (Minor)#

Lock is in-memory, doesn't work across:

  • Multiple isolates
  • Multiple processes

Impact: Low - Most Flutter apps run in single isolate Fix: Implement platform-specific lock if needed

3. No Token Caching (Minor)#

Tokens aren't cached in memory between requests.

Impact: Low - Secure storage is fast enough Fix: Add in-memory token cache if performance is critical

Next Steps#

Immediate (Before Production)#

  1. Complete implementation - DONE
  2. Manual testing - Test sign-in flow with bretton.dev
  3. Add unit tests - Test core OAuth logic
  4. Add integration tests - Test with real servers

Short-term#

  1. Fix key serialization (implement Key.toJson() / fromJson())
  2. Add comprehensive error handling examples
  3. Add token introspection support
  4. Add more example apps

Long-term#

  1. Implement platform-specific locks (iOS/Android)
  2. Add biometric authentication option
  3. Add background token refresh
  4. Performance optimizations (token caching)
