Overview#

atproto_oauth_flutter is a complete OAuth 2.0 + OpenID Connect client for the AT Protocol, designed specifically for Flutter applications. It handles the full authentication lifecycle including:

• Complete OAuth 2.0 Flow - Authorization Code Flow with PKCE
• Automatic Token Management - Refresh tokens automatically, handle expiration gracefully
• Secure Storage - iOS Keychain and Android EncryptedSharedPreferences
• DPoP Security - Token binding with cryptographic proof-of-possession
• Decentralized Discovery - Works with ANY atProto PDS, not just bsky.social
• Production Ready - Based on Bluesky's official TypeScript implementation

Why This Package?#

The Problem with Existing Packages#

The existing atproto_oauth package has a critical flaw: it hardcodes bsky.social as the OAuth provider. This breaks the decentralized nature of the AT Protocol.

What this means:

• ❌ Only works with Bluesky's servers
• ❌ Can't authenticate users on custom PDS instances
• ❌ Defeats the purpose of decentralization
• ❌ Your app won't work with the broader atProto ecosystem

How This Package Solves It#

atproto_oauth_flutter implements proper decentralized OAuth discovery:

// ✅ Works with ANY PDS:
await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');    // → https://bsky.app
await client.signIn('bob.custom-pds.com');   // → https://custom-pds.com
await client.signIn('bretton.dev');          // → https://pds.bretton.dev ✅

// The library automatically:
// 1. Resolves handle → DID
// 2. Fetches DID document
// 3. Discovers PDS URL
// 4. Discovers authorization server
// 5. Completes OAuth flow with the correct server

Bottom line: This is the only Flutter package that properly implements decentralized atProto OAuth.

Features#

OAuth 2.0 / OIDC Compliance#

• ✅ Authorization Code Flow with PKCE (SHA-256)
• ✅ Automatic token refresh with concurrency control
• ✅ Token revocation (best-effort)
• ✅ PAR (Pushed Authorization Request) support
• ✅ Response modes: query, fragment
• ✅ State parameter (CSRF protection)
• ✅ Nonce parameter (replay protection)

atProto Specifics#

• ✅ DID Resolution - Supports did:plc and did:web
• ✅ Handle Resolution - XRPC-based handle → DID resolution
• ✅ PDS Discovery - Automatic PDS discovery from DID documents
• ✅ DPoP (Demonstrating Proof of Possession) - Cryptographic token binding
• ✅ Multi-tenant Auth Servers - Works with any authorization server

Security#

• ✅ Secure Storage - iOS Keychain, Android EncryptedSharedPreferences
• ✅ DPoP Key Generation - EC keys (ES256/ES384/ES512/ES256K)
• ✅ PKCE - SHA-256 code challenge/verifier
• ✅ Automatic Cleanup - Sessions deleted on errors
• ✅ Concurrency Control - Lock prevents simultaneous token refresh
• ✅ Input Validation - All inputs validated before use

Platform Support#

• ✅ iOS (11.0+) with Keychain storage
• ✅ Android (API 21+) with EncryptedSharedPreferences
• ✅ Deep linking (custom URL schemes + HTTPS)
• ✅ Flutter 3.7.2+ with null safety

Installation#

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  atproto_oauth_flutter:
    path: packages/atproto_oauth_flutter  # For local development

    # OR (when published to pub.dev):
    # atproto_oauth_flutter: ^0.1.0

Then install:

flutter pub get

Quick Start#

Here's a complete working example to get you started in 5 minutes:

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';

void main() async {
  // 1. Initialize the client
  final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
    clientMetadata: ClientMetadata(
      clientId: 'http://localhost',  // For development
      redirectUris: ['myapp://oauth/callback'],
      scope: 'atproto transition:generic',
    ),
  );

  // 2. Sign in with a handle
  try {
    final session = await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');
    print('Signed in as: ${session.sub}');

    // 3. Use the session for authenticated requests
    final info = await session.getTokenInfo();
    print('Token expires: ${info.expiresAt}');

  } on OAuthCallbackError catch (e) {
    print('OAuth error: ${e.error} - ${e.errorDescription}');
  }

  // 4. Later: restore session on app restart
  final restored = await client.restore('did:plc:abc123');

  // 5. Sign out
  await client.revoke('did:plc:abc123');
}

Next step: Configure platform deep linking (see Platform Setup).

Platform Setup#

OAuth requires deep linking to redirect back to your app after authentication. You must configure both platforms:

iOS Configuration#

Add a custom URL scheme to ios/Runner/Info.plist:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>myapp</string>  <!-- Your custom scheme -->
    </array>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>com.example.myapp</string>
  </dict>
</array>

For HTTPS universal links (production), also add:

<key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key>
<array>
  <string>applinks:example.com</string>
</array>

Then create an apple-app-site-association file on your server at https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association.

Android Configuration#

Add an intent filter to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    ...>

    <!-- Existing intent filters -->

    <!-- OAuth callback intent filter -->
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

        <!-- Custom URL scheme -->
        <data android:scheme="myapp" />
    </intent-filter>

    <!-- For HTTPS universal links (production) -->
    <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />

        <data android:scheme="https" />
        <data android:host="example.com" />
        <data android:pathPrefix="/oauth/callback" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

For HTTPS universal links, also create a assetlinks.json file at https://example.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json.

Verify Deep Linking#

Test that deep linking works:

# iOS (simulator)
xcrun simctl openurl booted "myapp://oauth/callback?code=test"

# Android (emulator or device)
adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "myapp://oauth/callback?code=test"

If your app opens, deep linking is configured correctly.

Router Integration (go_router, auto_route, etc.)#

⚠️ Important: If you're using declarative routing packages like go_router or auto_route, you MUST configure them to ignore OAuth callback deep links. Otherwise, the router will intercept the callback and OAuth will fail with "User canceled login".

Why This is Needed#

When the OAuth server redirects back to your app with the authorization code, your router may try to handle the deep link before flutter_web_auth_2 can capture it. This causes the OAuth flow to fail.

Solution: Use FlutterOAuthRouterHelper#

We provide a helper that makes router configuration easy:

With go_router (Recommended approach):

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';
import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart';

final router = GoRouter(
  routes: [
    // Your app routes...
  ],
  // Use the helper to automatically ignore OAuth callbacks
  redirect: FlutterOAuthRouterHelper.createGoRouterRedirect(
    customSchemes: ['myapp'], // Your custom URL scheme(s)
  ),
);

Manual configuration (if you need custom redirect logic):

final router = GoRouter(
  routes: [...],
  redirect: (context, state) {
    // Check if this is an OAuth callback
    if (FlutterOAuthRouterHelper.isOAuthCallback(
      state.uri,
      customSchemes: ['myapp'],
    )) {
      return null; // Let flutter_web_auth_2 handle it
    }

    // Your custom redirect logic here
    if (!isAuthenticated) return '/login';

    return null; // Normal routing
  },
);

Extract scheme from your OAuth config:

final scheme = FlutterOAuthRouterHelper.extractScheme(
  'myapp://oauth/callback'
);
// Returns: 'myapp'

// Use it in your router config
redirect: FlutterOAuthRouterHelper.createGoRouterRedirect(
  customSchemes: [scheme],
),

Other Routers#

The same concept applies to other routing packages:

• auto_route: Use guards to ignore OAuth callback routes
• beamer: Configure beamGuard to skip OAuth URIs
• fluro: Add a custom route handler that ignores OAuth schemes

The key is to not process URIs with your custom OAuth scheme - let flutter_web_auth_2 handle them.

API Reference#

  'alice.bsky.social',
  options: AuthorizeOptions(state: 'my-app-state'),
);

restore()#

Restore a stored session (automatically refreshes if expired).

Future<OAuthSession> restore(
  String sub, {
  dynamic refresh = 'auto',
  CancelToken? cancelToken,
})

Parameters:

• sub - User's DID (e.g., "did:plc:abc123")

Future<void> revoke(
  String sub, {
  CancelToken? cancelToken,
})

Parameters:

• sub - User's DID
• cancelToken - Dio cancellation token (optional)

Behavior:

Example:

client.onDeleted.listen((event) {
  print('Session ${event.sub} deleted: ${event.cause}');
  // Navigate to sign-in screen
});

OAuthClient (Core)#

For advanced use cases. Provides lower-level control over the OAuth flow.

Constructor#

OAuthClient(OAuthClientOptions options)

See OAuthClientOptions for all parameters.

Methods#

authorize()#

Start OAuth authorization flow (returns URL to open in browser).

Future<Uri> authorize(
  String input, {
  AuthorizeOptions? options,
  CancelToken? cancelToken,
})

Parameters: Same as signIn() but returns URL instead of completing flow.

Returns: Uri - Authorization URL to open in browser

Throws: Same as signIn()

Example:

final authUrl = await client.authorize('alice.bsky.social');
// Open authUrl in browser yourself

callback()#

Handle OAuth callback after user authorization.

  Map<String, String> params, {
  CallbackOptions? options,
  CancelToken? cancelToken,
})

Parameters:

• params - Query/fragment parameters from callback URL
• options - Callback options (see CallbackOptions)
• cancelToken - Dio cancellation token (optional)

Returns: CallbackResult - Contains session and app state

Throws:

• OAuthCallbackError - OAuth error or invalid callback

Example:

// Extract params from callback URL
final uri = Uri.parse(callbackUrl);
final params = uri.queryParameters;

// Complete OAuth flow
final result = await client.callback(params);
print('Signed in: ${result.session.sub}');
print('App state: ${result.state}');

restore() and revoke()#

Same as FlutterOAuthClient.

Static Methods#

fetchMetadata()#

Fetch client metadata from a discoverable client ID URL.

static Future<Map<String, dynamic>> fetchMetadata(
  OAuthClientFetchMetadataOptions options,
)

Parameters:

• options.clientId - HTTPS URL to client metadata JSON
• options.dio - Custom HTTP client (optional)
• options.cancelToken - Cancellation token (optional)

  final String sub;  // User's DID
}

Errors#

All errors extend Exception and can be caught with standard try-catch.

OAuthCallbackError#

OAuth error from server or invalid callback.

class OAuthCallbackError implements Exception {
  final String? error;              // OAuth error code
  final String? errorDescription;   // Human-readable description
  final String? errorUri;            // URL with more info
  final String? state;               // App state from authorize

}

Common error codes:

• access_denied - User denied authorization
• invalid_request - Invalid parameters
• server_error - Server error

Example:

try {
  final session = await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');
} on OAuthCallbackError catch (e) {
  if (e.error == 'access_denied') {
    print('User cancelled sign-in');
  } else {
    print('OAuth error: ${e.error} - ${e.errorDescription}');
  }
}

OAuthResolverError#

Failed to resolve identity or discover OAuth server.

When thrown:

• Handle doesn't resolve
• DID document not found
• PDS URL missing from DID document
• OAuth server metadata not found

TokenRefreshError#

TokenRevokedError#

Token was revoked (intentional sign-out).

TokenInvalidError#

Token is invalid (rejected by resource server).

AuthMethodUnsatisfiableError#

Client authentication method not supported.

Usage Guide#

Sign In Flow#

Complete example with error handling:

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';

Future<void> signIn(String handle) async {
  final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
    clientMetadata: ClientMetadata(
      clientId: 'http://localhost',
      redirectUris: ['myapp://oauth/callback'],
      scope: 'atproto transition:generic',
    ),
  );

  try {
    final session = await client.signIn(handle);

    print('✓ Signed in successfully!');
    print('  DID: ${session.sub}');

    final info = await session.getTokenInfo();
    print('  Expires: ${info.expiresAt}');

  } on OAuthCallbackError catch (e) {
    if (e.error == 'access_denied') {
      print('User denied authorization');
    } else {
      print('OAuth error: ${e.error}');
    }
  } catch (e) {
    print('Unexpected error: $e');
  }
}

Session Restoration#

Restore session when app restarts:

Future<OAuthSession?> restoreSession(FlutterOAuthClient client) async {
  final did = await loadSavedDid();
  if (did == null) return null;

  try {
    final session = await client.restore(did);
    print('✓ Session restored for ${session.sub}');
    return session;

  } on TokenRefreshError catch (e) {
    print('❌ Session refresh failed: ${e.message}');
    await clearSavedDid();
    return null;
  }
}

Token Refresh#

Tokens are refreshed automatically:

// Auto-refresh (default)
final session = await client.restore(did);

// Force refresh
final fresh = await client.restore(did, refresh: true);

// Check token status
final info = await session.getTokenInfo();
if (info.expired == true) {
  print('Token will refresh on next API call');
}

Sign Out (Revoke)#

Future<void> signOut(FlutterOAuthClient client, String did) async {
  try {
    await client.revoke(did);
    print('✓ Signed out successfully');
    await clearSavedDid();
  } catch (e) {
    print('⚠ Revoke failed: $e');
    await clearSavedDid();
  }
}

Session Events#

void setupSessionListeners(FlutterOAuthClient client) {
  client.onUpdated.listen((event) {
    print('Session updated: ${event.sub}');
  });

  client.onDeleted.listen((event) {
    print('Session deleted: ${event.sub}');
    navigateToSignIn();
  });
}

Advanced Usage#

Custom Storage Configuration#

final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
  clientMetadata: metadata,
  secureStorage: FlutterSecureStorage(
    iOptions: IOSOptions(
      accessibility: KeychainAccessibility.first_unlock,
    ),
    aOptions: AndroidOptions(
      encryptedSharedPreferences: true,
    ),
  ),
);

Direct OAuthClient Usage#

For full control over the OAuth flow:

final client = OAuthClient(
  OAuthClientOptions(
    responseMode: OAuthResponseMode.query,
    clientMetadata: metadata.toJson(),
    stateStore: MyCustomStateStore(),
    sessionStore: MyCustomSessionStore(),
    runtimeImplementation: FlutterRuntime(),
  ),
);

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

Decentralization Explained#

This is the critical feature that sets this package apart.

The Problem: Hardcoded Servers#

// ❌ BROKEN - Only works with bsky.social
const authServer = 'https://bsky.social';  // Hardcoded!

The Solution: Dynamic Discovery#

// ✅ CORRECT - Discovers auth server dynamically
await client.signIn('bob.custom-pds.com');

// What happens:
// 1. Resolve handle → DID
// 2. Fetch DID document
// 3. Discover PDS URL
// 4. Fetch PDS metadata
// 5. Discover authorization server
// 6. Complete OAuth with correct server ✅

Why This Matters#

atProto is decentralized. Users can host their data on any PDS. Your app should work with ALL of them.

Real-World Example#

// Alice uses Bluesky
await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');
// → https://bsky.app

// Bob runs his own
await client.signIn('bob.example.com');
// → https://auth.example.com

// All work! 🎉

Security Features#

Secure Token Storage#

• iOS: Keychain with device encryption
• Android: EncryptedSharedPreferences (AES-256)

DPoP (Token Binding)#

• Binds tokens to cryptographic keys
• Prevents token theft
• Every request includes signed proof

PKCE (Code Protection)#

• SHA-256 challenge/verifier
• Prevents code interception

State Parameter#

• CSRF protection
• One-time use

OAuth Flows#

Authorization Flow#

App → Resolve identity → Discover servers → Generate PKCE/DPoP
  → Open browser → User authenticates → Callback → Exchange code
  → Store session → Return OAuthSession

Token Refresh Flow#

API call → Detect expiration → Acquire lock → Refresh tokens
  → Update storage → Release lock → Retry API call

Troubleshooting#

Deep Linking Not Working#

1. Check platform configuration (Info.plist / AndroidManifest.xml)
2. Test manually: xcrun simctl openurl booted "myapp://..."
3. Verify URL scheme matches redirectUris

OAuth Errors#

• invalid_request - Check ClientMetadata
• access_denied - User cancelled
• server_error - Check server status

Token Refresh Failures#

• Token expired → User must re-authenticate
• Session auto-deleted on failure

Migration Guide#

From atproto_oauth#

Before (Broken):

// Only works with bsky.social
final session = await client.signIn('bob.custom-pds.com');  // BROKEN

After (Fixed):

import 'package:atproto_oauth_flutter/atproto_oauth_flutter.dart';

final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
  clientMetadata: ClientMetadata(
    clientId: 'http://localhost',
    redirectUris: ['myapp://oauth/callback'],
  ),
);

final session = await client.signIn('bob.custom-pds.com');  // WORKS!

Architecture#

Built in 7 layers matching TypeScript original:

1. Foundation - Types, constants, utilities
2. Runtime - Crypto abstractions, PKCE, keys
3. Identity Resolution - DID/handle → PDS discovery (critical for decentralization)
4. OAuth Discovery - Dynamic server metadata fetching
5. DPoP - Token binding proofs
6. OAuth Flow - Authorization, tokens, sessions
7. Flutter Platform - Secure storage, crypto implementation

Examples#

See example/flutter_oauth_example.dart for complete examples.

Minimal Example#

final client = FlutterOAuthClient(
  clientMetadata: ClientMetadata(
    clientId: 'http://localhost',
    redirectUris: ['myapp://oauth/callback'],
  ),
);

final session = await client.signIn('alice.bsky.social');
print('Signed in: ${session.sub}');
