I have successfully integrated the google drive sdk in my iOS project with swift language,
but the problem is I am getting the google drive data of the user when he logsIn instead of getting the data from the clients drive.
I have searched about it & the conclusion which I have get is using the service account, but there not much information about it ,
so how could I get this,
please help..
About Oauth
Google Drive data is private user data. In order to access private user data you need the users permission to access that data.
Normally we use Oauth. The user is presented with a consent screen granting the application access to their data. In the below example the Application "google analytics windows" Is requesting access to Google analytics from the user.
When this application runs it will then have access to the users Google analytics data.
Your question
I have successfully integrated the google drive sdk in my iOS project with swift language, but the problem is I am getting the google drive data of the user when he logsIn instead of getting the data from the clients drive.
You appear to have authenticated your application and requested drive access of the user. This will mean that you will be accessing the users data. I am not sure what you mean by "Clients drive" If you are referring to the client id and client secret of your application this is the project on Google developer console and it has no drive account a project on google developer console has no data. Your application needs to be authenticated to something that will grant it data in this case you have used Oauth2 to grant it access to the users data.
Service account
Service accounts are used for server to server communication for when you the developer control a drive account that you want all of your users to be reading from. Using service account authentication will mean that you are not accessing the users drive account but accessing the service accounts account.
I am not an IOS dev so cant help you with accessing drive with a service account. After a bit of searching it appears that it may not be supported work around

We are using SignIn with Google on our Flutter App that uses AWS cognito. Recently it started giving error:
"Error 403: access_denied The developer hasn’t given you access to this app. It’s currently being tested and it hasn’t been verified by Google. If you think you should have access, contact the developer"
The app was in "Testing" and seems to have reached the limit of 100 users. In order to have more than 100 users use the SignIn with Google option, we need to put the Google Authentication App to "Production". In order to do that Google is asking for domain verification of the amazoncognito.com used in "Authorized redirect URIs". Since we don't own this domain we can't verify it.
Can someone please help with how can we get the verification of the GCP "oauth consent screen" done with other domains like amazoncognito.com?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think this is currently possible.
Your best bet would be to file a feature request with Google for a supported verification progress for third-party user identity services.
I would suggest using the Google Workspace add-ons component for this type of request.
We know that everyone can upload content to a specific google drive with drive upload forms even without signing in to the google account. So is there any way to integrate this feature with flutter (ex: with APIs)?
Thanks

To upload files to Google Drive without the need for the user to log in with their account there are three possibilities:
Using your account and generating a token that is refreshed as needed.
Using a service account, this can upload the files to a folder shared with your account. The holder can either use this account or your account.
Using a service account with Domain-Wide Delegation. Users can upload files directly to your account as if they were using it.

I'm trying to make a chatbot with Dialogflow for Google Home. It requires the user to input a URL. Now it will definitely be a long and complicated URL which I can't recreate and I can't have the user speak into the google home.
The idea I had was that the user would input the URL on an agent on messenger. I store this on a Firebase database and then access it with a second agent.
Now the issue I have is authentication, I was hoping to use account linking on my google action with facebook. But I can't login to Facebook with google home. Or if I can, I can't find any documentation specific to that case. Facebook doesn't provide the necessary client ID and secret(as far as I can see).
I managed amazon and Gmail account linking with Alexa and an Amazon Echo. In those cases, you would have to login to google or amazon on the Alexa app or webpage. Then this will be integrated with your Echo and the skill will become usable.
Anyone have an idea of how I can make the link happen, if not then anyone have an idea as to how I can solve the overall problem?
This question has been left unanswered on other forums, but I was hoping to either get it solved or find an alternative.
There are three approaches to solving your overall problem - getting the URL manually entered and available to your Action. Two of them tackle it the way you've suggested - involving authenticating to Facebook and tying that to the Assistant account somehow. One solves it entirely inside the Assistant.
Account linking to the Facebook account
You've tagged firebase-authentication, so I'm going to assume that you're using it to do the auth and you've enabled Facebook login through it. This means your user has a "Firebase Account", but they log into that account using Facebook.
I will assume you have a way to get the URL from messenger once they're logged in.
The trick in this case is to setup Account Linking between their Firebase account and their Assistant account. This is done by setting up an OAuth2 server that has access to the Firebase accounts and will create authorization and refresh tokens that are given to the Assistant.
In the Action, you'll send the user to the Sign In helper, which will redirect them to your login page and send back a one-time auth code to the Assistant. The assistant will then use your OAuth2 server to exchange this code for auth and refresh tokens. Periodically it will use the refresh token to get new auth tokens.
When the user returns to the conversation through the Assistant, you'll be handed an auth token and you can use this to lookup the user. Since you also know their Facebook account, you can get the URL via however you planned to do so.
There are drawbacks to this method - it is very complicated, and setting up your own OAuth2 server is not for the faint of heart. You may be able to use something like Auth0 instead of Firebase Authentication to accomplish the same thing, but then you don't have the ease of access to the Firebase database.
Account linking to both Facebook and Google
In your Firebase account, however, you don't need to limit them to just logging into Facebook. You can have them use Firebase to record both the Facebook and Google accounts that they're using. This would "link" the two accounts together in your system.
With this, you don't need to setup an OAuth2 server. Instead, you can have the Assistant use Google Sign In for authentication. If the Google Cloud Project that Firebase is using and the Assistant are using are the same project, then once the user has logged in to your project's web page with their Google account, you'll get an identity token on the Assistant which will contain their Google ID. You can use this to match up with their Firebase account and get the Facebook ID and proceed from there.
But this is still a lot of work and kinda messy, jumping between systems.
Using just the Google Assistant (and maybe a web page)
If you're willing to make some assumptions about the devices your users are using, then you may be able to do it all just using the Assistant. The Assistant doesn't just run on the Google Home and other smart speakers, it also works on most current Android and iOS devices.
So you can detect if they have such a device available and, if they do and they're not currently on it, direct them to switch to that device when you need the URL.
If they don't have such a device available (perhaps because their version of Android is older), and you think this may be a common scenario, you may need to make another entry source available. This could be one of the solutions above, or you may want to just have a simple web page (done via Firebase Hosting and Firebase Functions, perhaps) where they log in using their Google account (so you get their ID) and you let them enter the URL. If you just need a URL - going through Dialogflow may be more complexity than you need.
I have an application that uses IBM Cloud App ID for authentication and now we have come the the conclusion that we might need user-role authentication. I have found that there is nothing in the docs explaining if it is possible so I assume it is not but would like some clarification.
Basically just being able to have an account and login is not enough we need to see what type of user that person is so we can restrict some content to admins via IBM Cloud App ID. Have anyone accomplished this? And if so how?
Link to IBM Cloud App ID https://www.ibm.com/cloud/app-id
From my experience, adding user roles and management is not done with App ID directly, but it can be integrated. App ID is kind of a wrapper around different identity providers such as SAML, Facebook, Google or the built-in Cloud Directory.
There is a cloud solution tutorial using App ID. The code for that tutorial is multi-tenant ready and implements several roles, e.g., admin, tenant admin, viewer, etc.
I want to make my application to run using Google credentials.
I'm doing an application where user can get his list of events from the server by giving local credentials. I want to make my application run when the user enters Google credentials.
How can integrate that to my application.
You can give a try on Google Data objective C API.. Which handles all google service. i guess you can handle google credentials here..
