What are some use cases of auth sign in with Google/Facebook etc without Firebase/server side auth?
This Flutter tutorial video [video explains how to use Google Sign In without Firebase. Basically the app just uses Google Sign In SDK to retrieve the access token and user info. There is no server side auth such as Firebase involved. One scenario where you implement auth in this way is when your app is a client of the provider's service, for example writing a Google Drive client or Facebook client or Reddit client. Are there some other use cases or types of mobile app that one could just implement auth this way without involving server side auth?
