OAuth-based App Flip Linking (App Flip) allows your users to easily and quickly link their accounts in your authentication system to their Google accounts. If your app is installed on your user’s phone when they initiate the account linking process, they are seamlessly flipped to your app to obtain user authorization.
This approach provides a faster and easier linking process since the user does not have to re-enter their username and password to authenticate; instead, App Flip leverages the credentials from the user's account on your app. Once a user has linked their Google account with your app, they can take advantage of any integrations that you have developed.
You can set up App Flip for both iOS and Android apps.

Requirements
To implement App Flip, you must fulfill the following requirements:
- You must have an Android or iOS app.
- You must own, manage and maintain an OAuth 2.0 server which supports the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow.
Design guidelines
This section describes the design requirements and recommendations for the App Flip account linking consent screen. After Google calls your app, your app displays the consent screen to the user.
Requirements
- You must communicate that the user’s account is being linked to Google, not to a specific Google product, such as Google Home or Google Assistant.
Recommendations
We recommend that you do the following:
Display Google's Privacy Policy. Include a link to Google’s Privacy Policy on the consent screen.
Data to be shared. Use clear and concise language to tell the user what data of theirs Google requires and why.
Clear call-to-action. State a clear call-to-action on your consent screen, such as “Agree and link.” This is because users need to understand what data they're required to share with Google to link their accounts.
Ability to cancel. Provide a way for users to go back or cancel, if they choose not to link.
Ability to unlink. Offer a mechanism for users to unlink, such as a URL to their account settings on your platform. Alternatively, you can include a link to Google Account where users can manage their linked account.
Ability to change user account. Suggest a method for users to switch their account(s). This is especially beneficial if users tend to have multiple accounts.
- If a user must close the consent screen to switch accounts, send a recoverable error to Google so the user can sign in to the desired account with OAuth linking and the implicit flow.
Include your logo. Display your company logo on the consent screen. Use your style guidelines to place your logo. If you wish to also display Google's logo, see Logos and trademarks.

Mengimplementasikan App Flip di aplikasi native
Untuk menerapkan App Flip, Anda perlu mengubah kode otorisasi pengguna di aplikasi untuk menerima deep link dari Google.
Untuk mendukung App Flip di aplikasi Android Anda, ikuti petunjuk di panduan penerapan Android.
Untuk mendukung App Flip di aplikasi iOS, ikuti petunjuk di panduan penerapan iOS.
Uji Pembalikan Aplikasi
App Flip dapat disimulasikan menggunakan aplikasi contoh dan pengujian sebelum aplikasi produksi terverifikasi dan server OAuth 2.0 yang berfungsi tersedia.
Selama Pembalikan Aplikasi, aplikasi Google akan membuka aplikasi Anda terlebih dahulu, yang kemudian meminta respons kode otorisasi dari server OAuth 2.0. Pada langkah terakhir, respons tersebut akan ditampilkan ke aplikasi Google.
Prasyarat
Untuk menyimulasikan aplikasi Google dan memicu intent yang meluncurkan aplikasi Anda, download dan instal Alat Pengujian Flip Aplikasi untuk Android dan iOS.
Download dan instal Contoh Flip Aplikasi untuk Android dan iOS Untuk menyimulasikan aplikasi Anda dan memilih jenis respons OAuth 2.0.
Urutan pengujian
- Buka Alat Pengujian Flip Aplikasi.
- Tekan
Try Flip!
untuk meluncurkan aplikasi Contoh Flip Aplikasi Anda. - Pilih respons dari tombol pilihan di aplikasi Sample.
- Tekan
Send
untuk menampilkan respons OAuth 2.0 simulasi kembali ke Alat Pengujian. - Periksa pesan log Alat Pengujian untuk mengetahui auth_code atau detail error.
Pengujian produksi
App Flip dapat diuji dalam produksi setelah menyelesaikan pendaftaran dan penerapan server OAuth 2.0 Anda.
Satu Akun Google dan alamat email khusus tugas direkomendasikan untuk pengujian otomatis.
Status penautan akun dapat dilihat menggunakan Akun tertaut saat login sebagai pemegang Akun Google. Akun juga dapat dibatalkan tautannya di antara pengujian berulang dari sini.
Secara opsional, Anda dapat memilih untuk menerapkan RISC untuk membatalkan tautan secara terprogram dan memberi tahu Google tentang perubahan tersebut.
