Can I Develop An App Without API’s? (lemmy.ca)

First off, im not new to Lemmy, im behind my Alt account. But I was to make this post because if an android app me and my boyfriend are currently working on, or soon to be working on. We value are privacy and security very much, and we take this much to ensure we are protected as much as we can. We know we can’t do 100%, but we can achieve 99.97%.

Anyways…

So, my boyfriend is in the process of making an Android app that lets users sign into their online accounts in one app. He said he wants to make this Twitter UI like app, with the ability to login with his accounts, with privacy and maintaining a healthy security. However, he has a problem due to us being in a situation where we ~~can’t~~ don’t want to pay for API’s for such services we have accounts for.

The main point, is it possible to make it to where; once the user opens the app, taps the button to sign in with Facebook let’s say, it opens Facebook in webview and when the user is done authenticating, the app then closes webview and shows content, within the custom UI in the app.

Same goes with other platforms like, Twitter, YouTube and what not.

Again, I’m not even sure if this is possible, but consuming that I have an android phone, and I play Fortnite at time to time, whenever I go to sign into my epic games account. The game opens webview and when I’m done signing in, it closes and continues with my account shown.

It’s basically a privacy security focused browser, but with an added features like viewing and managing your online accounts.
