I am trying to login with LinkedIn using the native app and the LinkedIn SDK. So far I can login using the web if the LinkedIn app is not installed. I can also login with LinkedIn and get a token in return. But when I try to authenticate with Firebase I get this error:
Optional(Error Domain=FIRAuthErrorDomain Code=17000 "The custom token
format is incorrect. Please check the documentation." UserInfo=
{NSLocalizedDescription=The custom token format is incorrect. Please
check the documentation., error_name=ERROR_INVALID_CUSTOM_TOKEN})
This is my code:
// App installed
let permissions = [LISDK_BASIC_PROFILE_PERMISSION,LISDK_EMAILADDRESS_PERMISSION]
LISDKSessionManager.createSession(withAuth: permissions, state: nil, showGoToAppStoreDialog: true, successBlock: { (returnState) -> Void in
LISDKAPIHelper.sharedInstance().getRequest("https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,email-address,picture-url,public-profile-url,industry,positions,location)?format=json", success: { (response) -> Void in
if let data = response?.data.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) {
if let dictResponse = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .mutableContainers){
let token = LISDKSessionManager.sharedInstance().session.accessToken.accessTokenValue
Auth.auth().signIn(withCustomToken: token! ) { (user, error) in
print(user!)
print(error!)
}
}
}
}, error: { (error) -> Void in
print("LINKEDIN error\(String(describing: error))")
})
}) { (error) -> Void in
print("error login linkedin")
}
The token I am sending to Firebase is a String, so that should be okay. I must be missing something. But what ?
The problem was my misunderstanding. I thought I could use the Linkedin token directly. It has to go to a webservice that uses the Firebase admin user to generate the token.

I am facing problem with "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me" api of LinkedIn. Code was working good when I was using v1 api. I have updated my code for version 2 api for linkedIn authentication and When I tried to get profile with api "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me" I am getting error Request failed: forbidden (403). I don't know how to resolve it.
Here is my code:
let linkedinHelper = LinkedinSwiftHelper(configuration: LinkedinSwiftConfiguration(clientId: Constant.Key.kLinkedInClientId, clientSecret: Constant.Key.kLinkedInClientSecret, state: Constant.Key.kLinkedInState, permissions: ["r_basicprofile", "r_emailaddress"], redirectUrl: Constant.Key.kLinkedInRedirectURL),nativeAppChecker: WebLoginOnly())
linkedinHelper.authorizeSuccess({ (token) in
print(token)
let url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me"
linkedinHelper.requestURL(url, requestType: LinkedinSwiftRequestGet, success: { (response) -> Void in
print(response)
}) {(error) -> Void in
print(error.localizedDescription)
//handle the error
}
I've set URL scheme in info.plist as well.
You have to pass key in oauth2_access_token
Example:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me?oauth2_access_token={linkedin_key}
Edit:-
Also in permission need to set "r_liteprofile" instead of "r_basicprofile". To change permission worked for me.
I have an iOS app that uses Firebase as a backend for authentication.
Once a user logs in and then closes the app, I don't want the user to have to re-enter their email and password. My approach is to save the access token after a successful login to the Keychain, and then when the user comes back to the app, use the token from the keychain to signin.
I've tried using the method FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithCustomToken(customToken) { (user, error) in but that's not quite right as that's for when using custom tokens, which is not what I'm doing.
Is there a way for me to do this?
// login with email / password
FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithEmail(email, password: password, completion: { (firebaseUser, error) in
if error == nil {
FIRAuth.auth()!.currentUser!.getTokenWithCompletion({ (token, error) in
if error == nil {
// save token to keychain
} else {
print(error)
}
})
} else {
print(error)
}
})
// user comes back to app
do {
// get saved token from keychain
if let myToken = try keychain.get("token") {
FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithCustomToken(myToken, completion: { (user: FIRUser?, error: NSError?) in
if error == nil {
// show post login screen
} else {
}
})
}
} catch {
// error getting token from keychain
}
}
I was approaching this problem in the wrong way. Saving a token is appropriate when using a 3rd party authentication provider, like Facebook, Google, etc and getting an OAuth token in return from one of those services.
In my case when logging in using email and password, a token is not required and instead the password can be securely saved in the Keychain and used later for login.
I am working on an app that logs in to Facebook using the FBSDK in Swift. I also have been able to make requests to get my wall posts by using
var request: FBSDKGraphRequest
request = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me/feed"), parameters: ["access_token": FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken().tokenString], HTTPMethod:"GET")
request.startWithCompletionHandler({(connection, result, error) -> Void in
if error != nil
{
}
else
{
}
})
but I have been unable to get back results after I used the following to log out
var deletePermission = FBSDKGraphRequest(graphPath: "me/permissions/", parameters: nil, HTTPMethod: "DELETE")
deleterPermission.startWithCompletionHandler({(connection, result, error) -> Void in
if error != nil
{
}
else
{
}
})
When I log back in to the app, I am again asked to accept permissions, but when I check the expiration date for the current token with FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken().expirationDate I get a date before I tried HTTPMethod: DELETE.
So I was wondering how it would be possible to get back permission for your app or renew my access token because I don't think it's working by logging back in and accepting permissions. I have used the following to log out of the app
// Log out of the database I'm using
try! FIRAuth.auth()!.signOut()
// Log out of Facebook, clear current token and logged user
FBSDKAccessToken.setCurrentAccessToken(nil)
FBSDKProfile.setCurrentProfile(nil)
I am also using `FBSDKLoginButton()' and setting the following permissions to log in
var loginButton = FBSDKLoginButton()
loginButton.readPermissions = ["public_profile", "user_friends", "user_about_me", "user_posts"]
loginButton.delegate = self
....
func loginButton(loginButton: FBSDKLoginButton!, didCompleteWithResult result: FBSDKLoginManagerLoginResult!, error: NSError!) {
if error == nil
{
let credential = FIRFacebookAuthProvider.credentialWithAccessToken(FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken().tokenString)
// Firebase authentication
FIRAuth.auth()?.signInWithCredential(credential) {(user, error) in
if error == nil
{
// No error found get user credentials through Firebase
}
else
{
}
}}
But again after logging in and going to another ViewController by segue and I check the current token to get "me/feed" I am not getting a reply and the token's expiration date has expired. Would it be easier to create a new app in Facebook developer and set it up in Xcode or is there something I can do to get my user posts?
I have to implement a chat platform using firebase and swift.
I know how to create a user using emailid :
firebase.createUser(emailTextField, password: passwordTextField.text) { (error:NSError!) -> Void in
if (error != nil){
print(error.localizedDescription)
self.displayMessage(error)
} else{
print("New user created")
self.requestUsername()
}
}
But I am not taking any email id or other accounts. I want to create a custom user. For that they have mentioned to use the secure JWT Token and then use this :
let ref = Firebase(url: "https://<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>.firebaseio.com/")
ref.authWithCustomToken(AUTH_TOKEN, withCompletionBlock: { error, authData in
if error != nil {
println("Login failed! \(error)")
} else {
println("Login succeeded! \(authData)")
}
})
But they have not mentioned how to generate secure JWT Token in swift.
Anyone know?

How to login in firebase
As you probably noticed, there is no helper library from Firebase for minting custom tokens on iOS. There is however a set of instructions on how to mint tokens here: https://www.firebase.com/docs/ios/guide/login/custom.html#section-tokens-without-helpers
Minting tokens in a client-app is in general a VERY bad idea, since it requires that you have your Firebase's secret in your app, where any user can find it.
I am building an application with Swift-iOS and deployd as backend Deployd. I'm trying to figure out Twitter OAuth. Basically I would want to know how can I send my server a token and let dpd-passport save it in a user collection.
Twitter API is returning access token very fine. Here's my code:
TwitterClient.SharedInstance.requestSerializer.removeAccessToken()
//where TwitterClient is a BDBOAuth1SessionManager instance
TwitterClient.SharedInstance.fetchRequestTokenWithPath("oauth/request_token", method: "GET", callbackURL: NSURL(string: "cptwitter://oauth"), scope: nil, success: { (requestToken: BDBOAuth1Credential!) -> Void in
print(requestToken.token)
let authURL = NSURL(string: "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=\(requestToken.token)")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(authURL!)
}) { (error: NSError!) -> Void in
print("failed to get the token request")
}
