ENGAGE® SDK Authentication

Authenticating the host app with the ENGAGE platform is required to validate the communication between the device and platform.

The following authentication mechanisms are possible:

• Silent Registration (PUSH or PIN): Auto resolves in the background and does not require user interaction
• SMS: Requires user interaction to verify a PIN via SMS

Step 1. Configure ENGAGE Plugin

Configure the ENGAGE Plugin before starting the app in the main.dart.

Use await at method call with the combination of async keyword in front of the function body to declare an asynchronous function in Dart and Flutter.

📘

NOTE: EngageEnvironment.debug and group.your-app-group-id are specific parameters used in iOS configuration. Since they are not relevant for Android, passing null for these parameters is acceptable and will not affect the functionality on Android platforms.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; 
import 'package:flutter_engage_plugin/engage.dart'; 
import 'package:flutter_engage_plugin/utils/const.dart'; 

void main() async {
  // Ensure that Flutter widgets are initialized.
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
 
  // Initialize the Engage SDK asynchronously.
  await Engage.instance.configureSDK(EngageEnvironment.debug, "group.your-app-group-id");
 
  // Run the Flutter application.
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Step 2. Handlers

There is one main interface that the host app can implement that allows them to receive callbacks for certain actions involved in registration.

EngageRegistrationHandler

abstract class EngageRegistrationHandler {
 /// Called when challenge is initialized successfully
 void onInitializationSuccess(String? userNumber);

 /// Called when number is registered successfully
 void onRegistrationSuccess(String? userNumber);

 /// Called when registration fails
 /// @param phoneNumber Phone number that failed to register
 /// @param error The reason of the error
 void onRegistrationFailure(
     String? phoneNumber, EngageRegistrationError? error);
}

Step 3. Registration

To register a phone number, pass the phone number along with EngageResigistationHandler callback:

   Engage.instance.register(phoneNumber: number, engageRegistrationHandler: this);

NOTE: If the SMS registration is used, the 6-digit code delivered in the SMS needs to be passed to ENGAGE:

Dart

   Engage.instance.completeChallengeWithCode(code, (usernumber) => {print('sms verify')});
