use titanium appcelerator user as oauth for third party applications - oauth

I have a appcelerator titanium app, and I would like to use the same users and password for other apps, not related to appcelerator ACS or titanium, the question is: can I use appcelerator ACS as oauth for other applications?

I'm not familiar with ACS to much but from documentation I can find below:
it is not proffered as the ACS mention in its documentation
Your app must prove that it is allowed to talk to ACS. This keeps your
data secure by preventing anyone from making requests to ACS that
impersonate your app.
but you can create new app with new client-id as in ACS mention that:
You can integrate ACS into your application using the REST API, the
Titanium SDK, or the ACS native iOS and Android SDKs.

Nodejs Apple native authentication

i'm a nodejs backend developer and i have an app with nodejs backend and the client side is ios, swift. I need to to do the feature sign in with apple
I figure out there are 2 ways to sign in with apple. One is using restful api, one is sign in with native device.
I know how to do the sign in with apple using restful api, because i worked with passportjs and i did the sign in with fb, twitter before. However i don't understand how the sign in with apple (the native way) work on the nodejs side.
Here is the article: https://auth0.com/docs/connections/apple-siwa/add-siwa-to-native-app
As you are using regular web app (node), you should use web based flow. Native implementation is not applicable in your case. You can enable Sing In with Apple like any other social login in Auth0.

Is it possible to integrate the Facebook login without using the iOS SDK?

Currently i am using the Facebook SDK to implement the Facebook login to our native iOS application. For this i am using the native iOS SDK for Facebook. This application is both for mobile and web, so is it possible to integrate Facebook login without using the SDK from application side. I mean authentication done fully through API and server side.
Please have a suggestion.
I referred to a SO link:
Design for Facebook authentication in an iOS app that also accesses a secured web service
Sure! You can always use their API directly, which essentially is the same as they do with the SDK.
Check out the documentation on the following link.

Single Sign On authentication in IOS requires LinkedIn App

We've migrated to the latest LinkedIn IOS SDK which only supports single sign-on (SSO) authentication, in conjunction with the official LinkedIn mobile application. Our app works really well with this, however Apple will not approve our latest version, because it requires the LinkedIn app to be installed for the authentication to work.
We need a solution which handles the scenario when the LinkedIn app is not present, to use web authentication, however LinkedIn are very specific stating Mobile SDK-enabled applications require the official LinkedIn iOS app to be installed on the device to function properly" https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/ios-sdk - The Mobile SDK was released in July, so presume we are not alone in having our app rejected by Apple approvals.
Could you test for the presence of the linked-in app:
if it is not there: implement OAuth2 directly through your app
if it is there: use it or your OAuth2 implementation (which you'd probably err on the side of using their app for the link-ability between any features of the app you may need in yours).
Thereby avoiding the REQUIREMENT to have the app installed.
Researching for this I did find:
Mobile vs server-side access tokens
Presently, there is no mechanism available to exchange them. If you
require tokens that can be used in both the mobile and server-side
environment, you will need to implement a traditional OAuth 2.0
solution within your iOS environment to acquire tokens that can be
leveraged in both situations.
from: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/ios-sdk-auth
which suggests that authentication away from the app is supported.
Pleased to confirm that the solution kindly suggested by Madivad of using the new LinkedIn SDK if the LinkedIn app is installed and when it's not reverting to traditional OAuth 2.0 works fine. Apple are also back on our Christmas card list as they approved this latest version today within 40 minutes of submission:) Thanks Madivad for helping out with this.

Gmail API 0Auth 2.0 using OAuth Phonegap SDK

Has anyone had success in using the Gmail API's authorization in a Phonegap application? I found this (http://phonegap-tips.com/articles/google-api-oauth-with-phonegaps-inappbrowser.html) that describes using the generic Google API OAuth with Phonegap's inappbrowser plugin, but the newly released Gmail API does OAuth authorization differently, and I'm not sure how to get it to work with Phonegap.
Note: It does work when I try a web version of my app, but the button that brings up the authorization screen doesn't do anything in Phonegap..not sure why. I do have the appropriate Android credentials for the app in the Google Developer's Console.
UPDATE: Using OAuth's Phonegap SDK (found after registering your app here: https://oauth.io/), I am able to authenticate a Google Account. However, I am unsure how to then call Gmail API methods or correctly pass whatever authentication tokens from the OAuth SDK to any Gmail API code. Has anyone done this and can share their knowledge?
I found a solution using the OAuthio Phonegap SDK. Then I can call the appropriate HTTPS requests from the Gmail API.
If you want to login your users via Google on iOS and Android, then use this new plugin I just created: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus
You will also receive the name and gender etc from the plugin. The plugin will also try SSO with any other Google apps installed on your device by using the Google+ SDK on both platforms.

To develop a lib with SSO on twitter

I want to develop a lib for twitter which can achieve SSO and can display the name of app which uses this lib during APP authorization.
I know you can do this in apple using twitter framework, but I want to do this in Non-Apple platforms.
Any ideas please?
You could do this leveraging the OAuth capabilities available from Twitter. You could leverage a user's Web session if they are already signed in to twitter.com. See: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth
Any native (mobile) application SSO capabilities would depend on what the Twitter native application makes available. I'm not aware of any - but Facebook does offer such features: https://www.facebook.com/help/mobile/singlesignon
