I have a BlackBerry 9630 running OS v5.0.0.624. I can add my Gmail account (or any existing non-BB email account) by going to SETUP | EMAIL SETTINGS.
I am trying to find some way of either a) setting up an alternative account programmatically from within my BB application, or b) using Invoke to start up the email settings application and allowing the user to set up the alternative account there.
Is either A or B possible? I'd prefer option A, but B is an acceptable alternative.

following situation: I have an app in the app store, where among other things, user can communicate with each other. In order to do so, they first have to connect to each other and confirm the connection. Now, I want to add an invitation functionality, basically:
userA sends a link to website to newUser
new user opens website, with a link to the app store
new user installs the app
a connection between user A and new user (now user B) is established.
In the conventional web-world I would have an invite link: www.mysite.com?invitingUser=userA and I could evaluate it after sign up.
Is there something similar in iOS world, a way to provide the installed app with a parameter directly after or during installation?
Thanks in advance
I have this task that need to show the suggested username & password on my app.
something like this that I found [credits to this site]
https://brainsandbeards.com/blog/quick-change-that-helps-ios-users-sign-in-quicker
or something like this
Other way to autofill
But every time I press the 'password' on the top of the keyboard it always goes directly to the list of keychains and not giving the option like the above image showing a suggested account or choose other passwords.
I even followed this documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_associated-domains
even use an 'alternate-mode' on the associated domain.
I suspect that the webserver we're using is not managed shared credentials enabled server?
Is there a possibility to do this without associated-domain capability?
Thanks in advance!
A new iOS app should be able to connect to a web service to sync data across devices.
I like the way the diary app Day One solved this:
On registration the user can choose to use mail address to setup a "real" account or to sign in with his Apple ID
When using the "real" account the mail address has to confirmed and a username and password has to be chosen
When using the Apple ID Sign In no additional steps are needed. The app is connected to the web services using some random user ID
When being installed on a new devices it is no problem to re-connect using the Apple-ID method.
Problem 1: How to access the Apple ID?
As far as I know it is not possible for the app to really to access the Apple-ID. Or is there some undocumented way to do this? How is this possible?
I suspect that the app instead might use iCloud to store some token? The iCloud storage is linked to the Apple-ID, thus when installing on a new devices it would be possible to recover the token from iCloud and use it to reconnect.
Or are there other / better methods?
Problem 2: How to handle the authentication?
Let's set Problem 1 aside and assume that we have solved the problem of creating some cross-device username. How could be handle the authentication?
Solution 1: Only the token (Apple ID / iCloud stored username / etc.) is used for authentication. If a request from the app to the server contains a valid username token access is granted.
Solution 2: In addition to the username token a random password is generated when creating the anonymous account. This could be done on the device or on the server. But since the password has to be known on both ends, it need to be transferred from one end to the other at some point.
2a: Trust in the HTTPS connection and transfer the plain password
2b: Use some other method (e.g. Diffie-Hellman) to agree on a common password
On first sight 2b seems to be the most secure solution but is the really the case? The sync data is not encrypted but "only" trusts in the HTTPS connection. Would it add extra security to transfer the password using another method?
Additionally, does it add extra security to use a "password" at all? This is not a password the user selects for his user selected username but a automatically generated password for a automatically generated username / token.
Would it not be the same to just use the generated username token? Only who has access to the token / Apple ID / iCloud account, etc. can access the web service.
So, which solution is the best? Am I missing something and there are better solutions?
As of iOS 12, Apple provide a SDK for developer to access user Apple ID - with user's consent, obviously. Developer can use AuthenticationService SDK to achieve this. Please read more at the documentation. I'm sure this is how Day One app does what you describe.
I'm relatively new to Rails and would like to place a button on the admin-only part of my website that will open my company gmail account with the addresses of all of the registered users pre-populated in the 'bcc' field.
I almost have the mail_to helper working for this purpose except the mail_to link opens my personal gmail account instead of my company account.
Is there a way to use rails to trigger the log in to a specific gmail account and to pre-populate the "to" field as well?
I think, the link opens your personal gmail account just because you have it open in another browser window or tab.
AFAIK, Gmail does not allow to open different accounts in different windows at the same time. (Probably I miss something.)
Therefore, to make link open your corp account regardless of everything, the link handler should forcibly log out the current Gmail session and start a new one.
I don't think that you really want this behaviour (I mean closing the current session in such a rude way).
I've got a Rails App that uses Facebook for user accounts, and as of this evening, someone in Vietname has decided to (for whatever reason) use a bot to create fake accounts on my site using fake Facebook accounts. I'm getting about 2 new fake accounts / minute.
I've temporarily disabled registration, but I don't want to leave it that way, so I'm not sure what to do.
A couple things to note:
All the accounts use #yahoo.com or #ymail.com addresses
A lot of the accounts are registered by the same IP, but not all of them. It seems like he switches up the IP every 15 minutes or so.
I'm really at a loss, and I want to go to bed, but I can't until I find a solution to this. Help!
Make a capcha in registration form. If you already have a capcha in it then change the capcha generation mechanics. Also I think that your oponent made a script which is automaticly adds new user accounts to you web page, so as a temporary desicion you can change the url of registration handler.
You can use some techniques like limiting access to the application using something like a smart algo to block the IP it is requesting numerous account or limiting the account creation no more than a user from an IP.
And as specified if you know the pattern you can filter the request based on the pattern and deny any access.
