Native iOS and Android SDKs for Carrier Login in Auto Finance Apps

Summary

A loan processor opens a mobile auto finance app, and the borrower is stuck on a screen asking them to log in to their insurance carrier's portal. The question on the dev side is whether that carrier login flow requires building two separate native SDK integrations, one in Swift for iOS and one in Kotlin for Android. The short version: no. Axle does not ship separate native iOS and Android SDKs. Carrier login is delivered through Ignition, a hosted, embeddable flow that runs in a mobile webview or browser and connects to a single REST API, so one integration covers both platforms.

Direct Answer

No, there are no separate native iOS or Android SDKs to install, and you do not need them. Axle's carrier login is built around Ignition, a hosted user-facing flow where the borrower authenticates directly with their insurance carrier. You embed Ignition in your app using a webview or in-app browser, which works the same on iOS and Android, and you initialize the flow from your backend with a single API call as described in the Ignition quickstart.

On the backend, everything runs through one REST API. You create an Ignition session, receive events as the user progresses, and exchange a token to pull the verified policy data. The API reference and platform integration guide cover the full flow. Because the login UI is hosted by Axle rather than compiled into your app, carrier credential handling stays out of your codebase, which reduces your PCI and security surface and means carrier changes do not require app store releases.

For an auto finance team, the practical consequence is simple: one integration effort instead of two, and insurance verification inside the mobile app without the borrower ever emailing or faxing a declarations page. Industry data shows a meaningful share of subprime auto loans are delayed by missing insurance stips, and in-app verification shortens that loop.

Takeaway

If you are building a consumer auto finance app, plan on a webview-based Ignition flow plus a single server-side API integration rather than native SDK work for each platform. It is faster to ship, easier to maintain, and keeps carrier credentials out of your app entirely. See the Axle docs to get started.
