Revyl Android Auth Bypass Skill

Use this leaf skill when revyl-cli-auth-bypass has selected a native Android app. This is app code guidance, not a Revyl authentication shortcut.

For the first-pass setup, start from revyl-cli-auth-bypass; it detects the stack, applies the shared safety contract, and delegates here for Android/Kotlin implementation details.

Native Agent Behavior

  • Ask at most 1-3 concise clarification questions only when the target app, platform, session, URL scheme, token source, or sensitive action cannot be inferred from the repo or Revyl CLI.
  • Prefer safe defaults and keep moving when app source, revyl dev list, screenshots, or reports can answer the question.
  • When Revyl prints a viewer or local app URL, open it in the native browser/tool surface when available: Codex Browser/in-app browser for local URLs, Revyl viewer URLs, screenshots, and page checks; Claude Code .claude/skills slash-command discovery plus WebFetch/WebSearch or configured MCP/browser tools; Cursor .cursor/skills plus .cursor/rules/revyl-skills.mdc and available MCP/browser tools.
  • If no browser tool is exposed, report the URL and verify through revyl device screenshot or revyl device report instead of claiming browser access.
  • Confirm before entering sensitive data, submitting forms, uploading files, accepting browser permissions, changing sharing/access, or deleting data.

Contract

Use one app-specific deep link shape:

myapp://revyl-auth?token=<token>&role=<role>&redirect=<allowlisted-route>

Revyl launch variables arrive in Android emulator apps as string extras on the launch intent:

REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_ENABLED=true
REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN=<token>

Files To Add Or Update

  • AndroidManifest.xml: register the app URL scheme and revyl-auth host.
  • Main activity: preserve launch config from intent and handle onCreate / onNewIntent.
  • Auth/session module: create the normal app session for an allowlisted role.
  • Router/navigation layer: route only to allowlisted destinations.
  • Account, debug, or settings screen: show accepted/rejected auth-bypass state in test builds.

Manifest Registration

Register the deep link on the activity that receives app links:

<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
  <data android:scheme="myapp" android:host="revyl-auth" />
</intent-filter>

Kotlin Handler

Keep route mapping and session creation app-specific:

private val allowedRedirects = mapOf(
  "/account" to AppRoute.Account,
  "/checkout" to AppRoute.Checkout,
  "/cart" to AppRoute.Cart,
)
private val allowedRoles = setOf("buyer", "support")

data class RevylAuthConfig(val enabled: Boolean, val token: String?)

fun revylAuthConfig(intent: Intent?): RevylAuthConfig {
  return RevylAuthConfig(
    enabled = intent?.getStringExtra("REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_ENABLED") == "true",
    token = intent?.getStringExtra("REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN"),
  )
}

fun handleRevylAuthBypass(intent: Intent?, config: RevylAuthConfig): Boolean {
  val uri = intent?.data ?: return false
  if (uri.scheme != "myapp" || uri.host != "revyl-auth") return false

  val role = uri.getQueryParameter("role") ?: "buyer"
  val redirect = uri.getQueryParameter("redirect") ?: "/account"

  check(config.enabled) { "Revyl auth bypass is disabled" }
  check(uri.getQueryParameter("token") == config.token) { "Bad Revyl auth bypass token" }
  check(role in allowedRoles) { "Role is not allowlisted" }

  val route = allowedRedirects[redirect] ?: error("Redirect is not allowlisted")
  TestSession.signIn(role)
  appRouter.navigate(route)
  return true
}

In the activity, capture the launch config before handling links:

private lateinit var revylAuthConfig: RevylAuthConfig

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
  revylAuthConfig = revylAuthConfig(intent)
  handleAuthLink(intent)
}

override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
  super.onNewIntent(intent)
  setIntent(intent)
  handleAuthLink(intent)
}

private fun handleAuthLink(intent: Intent?) {
  try {
    if (handleRevylAuthBypass(intent, revylAuthConfig)) showAuthBypassAccepted()
  } catch (error: Throwable) {
    showAuthBypassRejected(error.message ?: "Auth bypass rejected")
  }
}

Replace TestSession, appRouter, and status UI helpers with the app's real surfaces.

Verification

Start a fresh Revyl session with launch vars attached:

export REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN="<test-only-token>"
revyl global launch-var update REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN --value "$REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN"

revyl dev --platform android --no-build \
  --launch-var REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_ENABLED \
  --launch-var REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN

Then verify valid and rejected links:

revyl device navigate --url "myapp://revyl-auth?token=$REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN&role=buyer&redirect=%2Fcheckout"
revyl device screenshot --out /tmp/revyl-auth-bypass-android-valid.png

revyl device navigate --url "myapp://revyl-auth?token=wrong-token&role=buyer&redirect=%2Fcheckout"
revyl device navigate --url "myapp://revyl-auth?token=$REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN&role=admin&redirect=%2Fcheckout"
revyl device navigate --url "myapp://revyl-auth?token=$REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_TOKEN&role=buyer&redirect=%2Fadmin"
revyl device screenshot --out /tmp/revyl-auth-bypass-android-rejected.png

Guardrails

  1. Never ship an unconditional production bypass.
  2. Gate by debug/staging/test build plus REVYL_AUTH_BYPASS_ENABLED=true.
  3. Never put raw tokens in source, YAML, screenshots, or PR copy.
  4. Keep role and redirect allowlists small and app-specific.
  5. Show rejected state visibly in the app so the agent can diagnose failures.
