I am new in using oAuth and Yahoo! API in an iOS app. I am trying to access my Yahoo! contacts from my iOS app.
I have tried many ways found in StackOverflow. Most of those directed to http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api_guide/contact_api.html; but, I really can not understand all the stuffs described there.
I also found another framework with example resource in https://github.com/yahoo/yos-social-objc.
I am working with this one (the example included in this framework) and got into a trouble here that, when I use the YOAuth to authenticate the app, it opens up the Safari browser and after log into the Yahoo! account is shows an Agreement page. And upon agreement it is showing a page with message
To complete sharing of Yahoo! info with MYAPP, enter code "THECODE" into MYAPP
I do not really know that, what to do with this?
Now I need someone to help me out with this so that, my app get authorized successfully and redirected to my app from Safari with a minimum overhead.
Thanks in advance.
I have found the solution though with a little overheads.
Steps are:
1> Create a PHP script in you own server (say named, YRedirect.php).
2> Pest the following code in it-
<?php
$query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header("Location: YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID://oauth-response?" . $query);
?>
3> Add an URL Scheme in your info.plist file with the YOUR_APP_ID_OR_BUNDLE_ID.
That's it and you are DONE with the authentication problem.
But, I am still on retrieving contact info from Yahoo!.
Thanks all.

I have integrated Firebase Dynamics Links into my app (using <myapp>.page.link domain) and it's all working fine. However, I have now found that in my login and registration screens I get username/password autofill appearing for website page.link. I'm not currently using autofill, and don't have the webcredentials entitlement, so this is very strange. Has anyone else come across this and know how to prevent it?
I'm seeing it every time for each new project with dynamic links.
I think that firebase's apple-app-site-association posted at <yourapp>.page.link is the only credible source of info it can find (even though it doesn't have webcredentials). Basically it looks like after failing to find webcredentials anywhere it falls back to the only available file with applinks.
The easiest way to prevent this is to take initiative from firebase and post own apple-app-site-association file with webcredentials at your site (with proper "webcredentials:<your.domain>" counterpart added into the Associated Domains capability).
I have been trying to implement the OAuth v2 for Microsoft Accounts for my website. Its currently in development stage and so am testing on localhost. The Website is an ASP.NET Core MVC 5 Application.
I have followed the tutorial here to implement OAuth for Twitter, Google and Facebook accounts. I found this to be quite simple with only a few small issues that I was able to solve with simple google searches.
However I have spent several days trying to understand what is happening when trying to use Microsoft Account authentication on my site.
I have watched the video here on registering an application in the Microsoft App Registration Portal. At around minute 6 in the video a short demo shows how to set up the App. You can see my App details in the following screen shot:
In the video at about 7.5 mins in, there is a small section explaining how to test the App by building a URL string.
On submitting the query string to the browser the page is redirected as expected to my App page as you can see here:
In this instance I was all ready signed into my Microsoft Outlook account. If I wasn't signed in I would be prompted to login to a Microsoft account. Logging in, in this case choosing my already signed in Outlook account causes the page to be redirected back to my site as seen in the following screen shot but because the site didn't send the request its not expecting a token sent back for login so nothing really happens. This is expected behaviour, at this point as I was only testing that the Apps end point was working as expected.
[
The next stage is to test the functionality from my website. This is where I always have issues. To activate the OAuth functionality for Microsoft Account login requires simply un-commenting a couple of lines of code within the Startup.Auth.cs file in my websites App_Start folder and passing in the Apps ClientKey and ClientSecret values as can bee seen in the following code snippet:
app.UseMicrosoftAccountAuthentication(
clientId: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MicrosoftOAuthClientID"],
clientSecret: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MicrosoftOAuthClientSecret"]);
This code basically adds a little button to the login page that allows you to choose Microsoft login as can be seen here:
[
When I click the Microsoft button I get the following error page:
And the query string returned contains the following:
https://login.live.com/err.srf?lc=2057#error=unauthorized_client&error_description=The+client+does+not+exist.+If+you+are+the+application+developer%2c+configure+a+new+application+through+the+application+management+site+at+https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/.&state=JMxMRuKaOiYWCQw_Uqkhv3gLQn3ULlkG2miM4ymcHhTK5niXVQl5n4L0a6VoWeEKmFM7T1ciU2oQAh26_Y0i2DMjdt6BOAtpjNeMaSpBq4wbCjva9lOuctOUIWwoFdTEGvxJ4M904lUsoudd9e9cYi6eiH3JF81HB5ouQSus2ddE1sVUQLw-YB1GjUL79y2muFaBFIOIOk75oCV2IxX4cFO2rJU04K9Se6gxu698WpzR8taUB2c6tK9u0dBisckhavf0IvKB9dWQq-IVwQgvaA
Anybody know why or what is happening????
Now I have read in several of my many searches while trying to understand whats happening when I try to test the App from my site rather than a URL directly in the browser that I should have
/signin-microsoft
appended to my Redirect URL in the App Portals configuration. I have Tested with my Redirect URL set like that and this does not work. I get a HTTP ERROR 500 sent back because the page signin-microsoft does not exist. So this is not my problem.
Please help if anyone has had the same issues and solved it.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that I was initially trying this using Local IISExpress but after reading some posts saying it can be done only on IIS so I published my site locally to IIS.
I'm new to the site and new to developing so I'm looking for some general advice here.
I'm looking to build and app which works along side Instagram. So this is what I want to be able to do to start with.
User opens app and can submit an already posted (and held on Instagram) photo to the app. The user at this point will need to be asked to log into their Instagram account. So for example they would select submit and it will open a window asking them to log into Instagram and then it will display all their available photos which they have posted.
User selects the post they wish to submit to the app.
Image displays on app in a gallery of submitted posts by all the other users for people to see.
Thats the basic premise. It's actually a lot more involved than that but I am learning and trying to keep it simple at the moment.
What I would like to know is. Is this possible, are there any guides which exist on how to do this.
What sort of process will I be looking at here. I've tried looking for posts on Instagram integration etc but I can't find anything similar to this.
Thanks in advance any help or pointers on where to even start will be helpful.

Stpes to integrate instagram:
1)https://www.instagram.com/developer/
You would have to create an application on the instagram developer portal, get a client ID for performing OAuth flow.
2)Ask your users to login to the instagram app and get the auth_token from instagram API.
3) Use the auth_token in all your requests basically.
4) Download code from here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/mnuqck
and replace your clientid in my code. you will get response in code.
These libraries should help you get started,
https://github.com/shyambhat/InstagramKit
https://github.com/crino/instagram-ios-sdk
You would have to create an application on the instagram developer
portal, get a client ID for performing OAuth flow.
Ask your users to login to the instagram app and get the auth_token
from instagram API.
Use the auth_token in all your requests basically.
The whole flow would have been implemented for you in the libraries I mentioned.
Say for example if you are using InstagramKit and after integrating/authorisation by the user getting images from the users feed would be as simple as below,
InstagramEngine *engine = [InstagramEngine sharedEngine];
[engine getSelfFeedWithSuccess:^(NSArray *media, InstagramPaginationInfo *paginationInfo) {
// media is an array of InstagramMedia objects
...
} failure:^(NSError *error, NSInteger statusCode) {
...
}];
Steps to get InstagramKit up an running,
Download the InstagramKit from github.
Make sure you have cocoapods installed on your mac, refer
https://cocoapods.org/ for help.
Open the InstagramKit-Example on terminal and run the following
command,
pod install
Wait for the pod to finish its magic.
Now you should have InstagramKit-Example.xcworkspace created in the InstagramKit-Example, open it and run.
I just did it now,
Our iphone app allows for sign in via Foursquare via oauth. It was working fine and recently stopped working.
The error we get is: Connecting Failure: Callback uri is not valid for this consumer.
HOWEVER, if the user does not have the foursquare app installed on their phone it works fine as before. It seems as if FS is now doing a redirect to handle the oauth inside the FS app and this fails when attempting to return to the originating application. Via safari it seems to work.
This is on ios 9.
Solutions?? Thanks!
We've changed to use a SafariViewController and this seems to force Foursquare to not to this strange in-app redirect, solving the issue. This is also Apple's preferred oauth method, so probably the way to go.
Still seems like a problem on the Foursquare side that they may want to address for others however. I'm closing this question. Thanks.
Where does your redirect URL point? If you want it to launch your app after completion you should point to the iTunes store (pre-iOS9) link for your app or the universal link (iOS9 onwards).
More information on redirects for the native foursquare app is available in the README here: https://github.com/foursquare/foursquare-ios-oauth/
How to create a universal link in iOS9 https://www.appsflyer.com/blog/how-to-set-up-ios-9-universal-links-for-your-app/
A callback url is a webpage loaded after your web app has been
verified. In this case, you need to specify a page for to send data to
after authentication
Double check your Foursquare credentials and update the callback uri to a valid link. Tutorial link
Please follow the below points, may be one resolves your issue:-
Enter the callback in foursquare account in addcallback methods. Then in your code add the call back to the provider before you authorize. (Reference here).
You're getting that error because the URL you're pointing your users to (foursquare.com/oauth2/...) includes a redirect_uri parameter that doesn't match with what you configured in your app's settings under https://foursquare.com/developers/apps. Make sure these match!
I need to use Twitter Oauth to login my windows phone app,
What i need exactly is
1)when the user click twitter log in button from my app, i need to show the twitter llog in page in a browser,
2)when he enters his credentials and accept the app, then i should get the user information like, name, gender, bday, what ever i can take.
That,s it, then i can close the browser and make my app active.
I just need to make the user to log in via twitter.
I referred lot of examples, that are all quit confusing and doing all the stuffs in twiiter.
I tried this example
and got this error
'TweetSharp.TwitterService' does not contain a definition fError 2 'TweetSharp.TwitterService' does not contain a definition for 'GetAccessToken' and no extension method 'GetAccessToken' accepting a first argument of type 'TweetSharp.TwitterService' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
and i tried enter link description here
failed on that too.
Can anybody help me to do the authentication via twitter for my app.
Thank you.
I tried this example and got success, I contacted the person who have posted that example and got help from him to solve the issues raised from this example.
Actually this Example works fine for twitter integration,
What you have to do is
1)Register your app in twitter, here the link for app registration,
log in and register your app.
2)Make sure you have given the Call Back URL(i forget to give that, and that makes me face lot of issues)
3)Note down the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and Call back url(we need specify this 3 in our code)
4)Go to Settings, and set your app access to Read and Write
5)down load the above link and change the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and Call back url as per your app, and then run the example, it will work fine.
Thank you.
If you just want to authenticate using Twitter and don't want to post anything, perhaps you can try Azure Mobile Service Authentication. You can find more information here: mobile services authentication
