I wish to integrate LinkedIn for authentication. I tired but could not find any documentation related to adding Linkedin SDK to flutter. 

Please let me know : 
1. If at all it is possible?
2. If yes, help needed to do the same.

Regards

If you check out the LinkedIn API docs:

https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/signin-with-linkedin

You'll see you need two things:

- OAuth 2.0 in order to initially sign in. flutter_oauth makes this pretty easy: https://github.com/hitherejoe/FlutterOAuth
- Asking the REST API for user information afterwards. This can be done with the http package.

Hi Ryan,

thanks for responding but I think rest api needs a callback url and that cant redirect user back to app screen the way its mobile sdk does. Correct me if I am wrong.
