Mobile Client SDK

The Glide Mobile Client SDKs provide a simple way to perform the necessary client-side operations for Glide services. These SDKs are available for both Android and iOS platforms.

Overview

The main process that must take place on the client side is the authentication identification of the user. The mobile operators authenticate their subscribers using the mobile network's ip address meaning the request must come from the device itself over the mobile network.

The Glide Mobile Client SDKs provide a simple way to initiate this authentication process moving the user to the mobile network for authentication and authorization automatically and then returning the OIDC authorization code to the application to send back to the application's backend for exchange for an access token.

Android SDK
