No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/royboy789/wp-api-social-login/archive/refs/heads/master.zipDeclares an update source (https://github.com/royboy789/wp-api-social-login), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.

Supports GitHub Updater
