Overview
A Flutter plugin that enables Google Sign In across all major platforms, including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It extends the functionality of the original google_sign_in package to support desktop and web environments, providing a consistent authentication experience. The plugin simplifies integration with Google's OAuth 2.0 system, allowing users to sign in with their Google accounts seamlessly. It is particularly useful for apps targeting multi-platform deployment without requiring separate authentication logic per platform.
