## What it is
A React Native bridge around the native AppAuth-iOS and AppAuth-Android SDKs for communicating with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect providers. It supports the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE and works with any OAuth2-compliant provider, including Google, Okta, Keycloak, Azure AD, and AWS Cognito.

## Use cases
- add oauth2 login to a react native app
- authenticate users with openid connect on ios and android
- implement pkce authorization code flow in react native
- sign in with google or azure ad in a mobile app
- connect a react native app to keycloak or okta
- handle oauth token refresh and revocation in react native

## When to choose
- you need standards-compliant OAuth2/OpenID Connect authentication in a React Native app
- you want to use native AppAuth libraries with PKCE support
- your provider implements the OAuth2 spec and you want autodiscovery for OpenID providers

## When to avoid
- you need grant types other than the Authorization Code Flow, such as client credentials or password grants
- your project is not React Native (use the native AppAuth SDKs directly)
- you need a pure JavaScript OAuth implementation without native modules
