react-native-auth0 VS open-native

For hosted auth, the market has a few solid options. Auth0 is the incumbent — mature, well-documented, but the pricing can surprise you as you scale. Clerk is developer-friendly with great React components, though you're fairly locked into their ecosystem.

We're excited to announce our newest challenge with Auth0, a leading authentication and authorization platform!

Services like Auth0, Kinde, WorkOS (and other identity platforms) are fantastic at handling the authentication piece, verifying your users and issuing these tokens. They can also provide information about user roles or permissions to help with authorization. They give you the tokens and the tools.

For backends, "Supabase or Firebase for setting up a backend with authentication and data storage."

Auth0 packages all of this into a single service. With just a few lines of code, you can integrate today's most comprehensive authentication solutions into your application. Offload the dirty work of authentication to Auth0 so you can focus your precious energy on your core business. Its extensive SDKs and documentation seamlessly integrate with any tech stack you use.

Auth0 (by Okta) – Identity platform with robust RBAC, SSO, MFA, and flexible access policies for custom apps.

Do not build login via email / passoword use OAuth2 instead like Google or Facebook. Too much users truncated my app after didn't receive email in first couple seconds which was a common issue on the start. I just disabled requirement to confirm an email. In next product I will use something like Auth0 from the beginning.

What they decided to do is really quite strange. Something like Capacitor makes much more sense but they said they wanted access to React Native libraries... I hope https://github.com/OpenNative/open-native can address their requirements in the future. It's goal is to make things like React Native native modules work across frameworks (e.g., react native libraries working in capacitor and native script)

You can now use React Native plugins within NativeScript projects through the Open Native effort and it's only a matter of time before NativeScript can be used where the React Native community sees fit.

As NativeScript offers a cross-platform UI abstraction, you can build your whole UI without writing platform-specific code. There are often cross-platform plugins available to avoid having to write any platform-specific code, and in fact we’ve recently built Open Native to allow you to use React Native native modules in NativeScript apps (Svelte Native included). But even when there is no plugin available, writing the native code is a breeze, as it has full TypeScript typings and you can pass real native values back and forth between native and JS rather than just JSON-serialisable ones. It’s really quite incredible!

Open Native is the long overdue Rosetta Stone that allows native modules to be used cross-ecosystem. It handles all the necessary auto-linking, type marshalling and API-binding to allow you to choose the highest quality native module for your project, no matter what ecosystem it comes from.
