Stytch Android Consumer SDK Overview

These docs are for our new Kotlin Multiplatform SDK, which is in Public beta. If you are instead looking for the stable version, please see stytch-android and the usage docs here.

The Stytch SDKs provide methods that communicate directly with the Stytch API, allowing you to easily authenticate your users without adding extra endpoints to your backend. The Stytch Android Consumer SDK is a headless Kotlin Multiplatform library that targets Android. It provides a type-safe, coroutine-based API for all Stytch consumer authentication methods.
