Hi guys, I have a user auth/sign-in problem:
- The project is in react-native
- Backend is on AWS, therefore we are using Cognito user pool identity pools.
- Our app should authenticate users only via Google or Apple -> meaning no local/AWS username/password.
- After the authentication of the user, I want to get his/hers token ID in order to access our Gateway API secured with the authorizer expecting this id token.
What I have done:
- Created and set up apple/google dev console and got google app id and apple team id, key & identifier.
- Created Cognito user pool identity pool and added id from step one
Now, I want to make it work on FE. I want to have custom buttons that have will have on press functions that invoke sign-in process. Also I would like to skip generated Cognito hosted UI for sign-in and go directly to the given provider (I think via Auth.federatedSignIn({customProvider: "provider"}). Can this be embedded in the app? Is somewhere on GIT an example? Can someone elaborate more on this, please? I kidn of need OAuth flow with AWS functionality minus AWS generated UI...
I couldn't find an exact answer anywhere. If there will be any unclear parts, I will elaborate more. Thank in advance!

When navigating to the authorization endpoint you can pass an additional parameter in the query string identity_provider as documented here.
This instantly redirects the user to the IDPs sign-in and consent page without showing the hosted UI.

I have found the by to bypass the hosted and generated Cognito UI. Just inspect the element (login button) and copy the link. Works like a charm!
