Xamarin forms open browser and get Response data

Question

I want to open a website in my app to make the user log in to a specific page (so he can trust that it's the real website), if the login succeeds, there is data in the response which I need for my application. Is there a way to get the response data from the xamarin webview or browser or something else?

Hello,
Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

As you said “open a website in my app to make the user log in to a specific page”, I recommend you to use Xamarin.Essentials: Web Authenticator，this often means enabling your users to sign in their existing Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and now Apple Sign In accounts.

If you want to get the return value of web, invoking a JavaScript function in C # may be a good choice. It need to be handled in Javascript code on the web page side, this requires you know about Javascript. For more infor information, you can refer to
