I have been searching for quite long time, whether SAML Authentication available for Mobile Apps. I went through the oneLogin developer portal completely, but could not find any documents on Android and IOS Api. Can somebody please confirm me whether SAML gives support to Mobile Apps or not.

Folks who go this route generally just implement a WebView and handle the SAML request that way.

Take a look at this article on Webviews as this will allow you to share information (notably any session you've established with an SSO provider) between native apps that also support SAML the same way.

Basically, if you do this, you'll also be supporting SSO on mobile via SAML (or OpenID Connect, if you go that route)
