Sitecore Identity – 3 – Adding mobile native clients

Businessman touching tablet and laptop. Management global structure networking and data exchanges customer connection on workplace. Business technology and digital marketing network concept.

In the last two parts of the Sitecore Identity series, I described the basics and an understanding of the architecture and how IdentityServer4 is embedded and used in Sitecore 9.1+, the second part was a demo for adding a web client that authenticates itself against the Sitecore Identity (meaning that a custom web application uses Sitecore as the login method think like Login using Facebook or any other Identity Provider).

The third post of the series is a bit new, as there aren’t any samples (that I could find). I will show how to add a native mobile app client (iOS for this post but Android works the exact same).
This will enable you first to authenticate against the Sitecore Identity, then secondly (later posts coming) consume protected APIs (whether Sitecore native or custom ones).

Bare bones Sitecore JSS react application

In this post, I will build the simplest ever jss application without using the default template, and deploying it to Sitecore with the bare minimum, this will help to understand all the moving parts under the hood.

In the old days of the cloud -which is not so old- cloud services were usually categorized in one of three layers, namely Infrastructure (IaaS), Platform (PaaS) and Software (SaaS).
