Where do you store token once received in Tauri app?

Thanks for the very nice explanation. I got step 2 to work, and also got a custom token back to my Tauri frontend. However, if I try to signInWithCustomToken(auth, token), I get CORS isues. This is because I have to run auth = getAuth(app), and this fails after Tauri build. How to fix?

Many thanks for the article.

Can you elaborate a bit why you choose solution 2 as communication method?

At first look is more code to maintain, more points of failure.

Tauri should work on deeplinking. It would be very nice to have a official outh plugin. I too am working on a tauri project, and I am little disappointed with tauri regarding this matter.

Thanks for an interesting article
