Thoughts on some possible ways to handle mobile aspects with
Keycloak.
Its just a very brief outline of some of the options to get a
conversation started. I tried to brief as possible, but the email is
still a bit long :/
Mobile web app
Works similar to how any normal web app would work with keycloak. Only
changes really needed would be to make sure the login pages and such are
designed to work properly on varying sizes of touchscreens.
Native Mobile App Approaches
1)Native mobile app accessing keycloak through a custom webview.
Its possible for a native application to create a webview and load the
web components of keycloak through this. Requires some changes to
keycloak to return the token to the application since using a normal
redirect url isn't feasible.
On iphone you can redirect to and from native apps using URLs. So it
would be possible to use the Keycloak web login and redirects with
iphone. Are you sure Android doesn't have something similar?
