I'm having a little confusion among these three.
Is account user the account with which I sign up QuickBlox as developer?
Is API users the end users?
What's API application? Do I create one by signing onto the QuickBlox web interface and create one there, and then use that to create the session in [QBAuth createSessionWithExtendedRequest:extendedAuthRequest delegate:self]?
Help appreciated, thanks.
Is account user the account with which I sign up QuickBlox as
developer?
Yes, it's Admin panel account
Is API users the end users?
Yes, it's your mobile application user
BTW, account user is also API user, you can use account user to login to your mobile app
What's API application? Do I create one by signing onto the QuickBlox
web interface and create one there,
Yes, you are right

I lost my apps account on Twitter, with which I registered an application in apps.twitter.com for oauth. I don'y know the email. But my site uses this application to authorize users. If I create a new app, then users will lose authorization on my site. Twitter don't want to help me in the recovery of the account and the application. What to do?
I know twitter_id and twitter_secret sure.
Thank you!
I have logged into cobrand and user for my yodlee account and am able to fetch the list of providers. I am not using a server at my end of the app. I am not able to login the user through the Add Account Post Method in the Providers section. I intend to get the Users mutual funds data by logging in the user and displaying the data in my app. Is this realisable as I am unable to figure out the callBack after successful Login. Any help would be appreciated. APIs Yodlee
You need to use POST /providerAccounts API for initiating add account. Please note this API will just initiate add account, and you need to check the status of this process, using GET API; you can use the API flow mentioned here.
You can use Fastlink 2.0 instead of using APIs if you want to quickly integrate add account process.
I'm building an app that shows users people they might be interested in talking to. If a user says he's interested in a person I show them, I want my app to create this person as a contact in my user's SalesforceIQ.
How do I do this? I see from the API documentation https://api.salesforceiq.com/#/ruby#documentation_contacts_create-a-contact that I can create a contact if I know my user's username and password, but of course I don't want my users to give me this information. Is there some way for the user to OAuth or whatnot by clicking a button that authorizes me to add things to their SalesforceIQ?
The SalesforceIQ API uses HTTP Basic authentication and does not currently support OAuth according to their documentation.
For a SalesforceIQ user to grant API access to your app to create contacts and for other privileges, the SalesforceIQ admin creates an API Key and API Secret for your app which is then used for the HTTP Basic authentication username and password. This way no user needs to provide your app with their credentials. This is configured in the SalesforceIQ admin UI under Settings > Integrations > Create New Custom Integration.
For the admin to provide these credentials to your app, you can have a UI where the SalesforceIQ admin enters this for your app to store and use with the API for their account.
This is described in the following places, briefly in the API Reference and in detail in a Help Desk article with screenshots of what the SalesforceIQ admin needs to do:

I have completed my iOS app and now want to have user registration and authentication functionality.
When the user opens the app it must ask them to register or login and then when the app closes it logs out. I want to send their basic details to my server e.g. name, location.
Is this allowed my Apple and does anyone know of a service that I could use as appose to reinventing the wheel?
It is allowed by Apple.
There are apps on App Store that do not implement their own register/login mechanism. Those apps ask their users to login via Facebook. So any user who has a Facebook account, can login to your app using their FB credentials. You would have to use the iOS SDK provided by Facebook.
It is always better to provide multiple login options to your app user, instead of just relying on Facebook or any other provider. Allow users to login via GMail, for example.
Adding support for OpenID is another good option. OpenID is an open standard that describes how users can be authenticated in a decentralized manner, eliminating the need for services to provide their own ad hoc systems and allowing users to consolidate their digital identities. Users may create accounts with their preferred OpenID identity providers, and then use those accounts as the basis for signing on to any website which accepts OpenID authentication.
I want to login in my iOS App with a Google account. Instead of having a database with users and having to register all the users, I simply login with my existing Google account.
Anyone knows a way of doing this, or a tutorial?
Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization for Mobile Apps has fairly detailed instructions for authenticating Google account users and includes iOS-specific steps.
