Node.js

Mobile App Prerequisites

Before you start coding, make sure you have the following in place.

Tools you need:

  • Android Studio (stable channel) installed. The current stable release is listed on the Android Studio releases page.
  • Android SDK. Android Studio will guide you through this on first run.
  • A device running Android 7.0+. We’ll use API 24 as the minimum for this tutorial.

Silent Authentication works by verifying the user through mobile network context. In practice that means:

  • It’s best tested on a real Android phone with a SIM + mobile data.
  • The Android emulator usually won’t behave like a real mobile network (and often can’t validate what Silent Auth needs).

Getting Started with Silent Authentication

Silent Authentication takes quite a bit to understand. This tutorial shows you how to build an integration from scratch with Nodejs and Kotlin
