Use authentication in iOS about xamarinalliance

[ntrogh]

What version of the Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Client NuGet package are you using? v3.1.0 should fix this for Windows and iOS. Android is still not fixed and will require the Google SDK to be used client-side.

@ntrogh thank you for reply.
I'm using the v3.1.0.

This is my platform specific authenticate method: (AppDelegate.cs)

public async Task<bool> Authenticate()
{
    var success = false;

    try
    {
        user = await CharacterService.Client.LoginAsync(UIApplication.SharedApplication.KeyWindow.RootViewController, MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Google);

        success = user != null;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // TODO handle UI
    }

    return success;
}

Checking with Mobile Apps SDK team.
In the meantime you could switch to an other provider (FB or Twitter) or use the Google SDK for auth and pass the access token to the MobileServiceClient.

Using Facebook I get the following error:
Facebook login this app is still in development mode...

Using Twitter it works but using https://xamarinalliancesecurebackend.azurewebsites.net as service, I get a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to get the Characters list.

Issues with Twitter and Facebook should be fixed now.

I can confirm. Facebook and Twitter work fine.
Google still has the same problem.

[ntrogh]

For Google, there is indeed still a problem - I'm checking this with the Azure Mobile App SDK team.
Thanks for confirming Twitter and FB work ok.

Problem is linked to an issue in Xamarin.Auth. For Android I have not yet found a workaround, but for iOS you can check this.
