Hello folks is it possible to implement Internet Identity on a UI that is Rust based (no JS, CSS, HTML or any JS Framework). internet_identity.rs use ic_cdk::api::call::call; use ic_cdk::export::Principal; use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use candid::{CandidType, Decode, Encode}; #[derive(Can…

Internet Identity uses a browser popup that communicates with the dapp using PostMessage . The flow is basically like this: Dapp creates local keypair Dapp opens popup window to II Send public key from dapp window to popup window Popup window sends delegation to dapp window Dapp makes IC calls by …

I’m basically building a gaming engine that is built majorly on Rust, what I’m trying to do is make the engine decentralized on ICP, so yes it’s a Desktop App

ic-auth-client crate is currently heavily dependent on Web API, so it should not work in environments without access to it. However, I could help build it for Desktop Apps, and extend the crate or release it as a new crate. edit: It would be helpful to refer to structs contained in that crate for…

That would be great. It will save me the hustle

I have just released ic-auth-client v0.5.0-beta.0 , and it now supports authentication for native applications. I will announce further details in a separate thread at a later date.

So cool that you’re doing this. I’ve wanted to build a Rust frontend for a while. :saluting_face:
