How can I fetch the recently logged in iCloud user's AppleID, firstName, lastName via CKRecordID from CloudKit?
Firstly you need to fetch the User Record ID and then you check that there isn't an error, if so, then you can fetch the UserInfo for the ID that you just fetched and use the result the access the information that you want
container.fetchUserRecordIDWithCompletionHandler({
userID, error in
if (!error) {
container.discoverUserInfoWithUserRecordID(userID, {
userInfo, error in
})
}
})
You can then use the userInfo to find out the firstName and lastName simply by using dot notation.
eg. userInfo.firstName
I assume by the fact that you are using CloudKit that you are a registered apple developer and so i recommend you watch both of the WWDC videos on the topic. With the exception of subscriptions which don't work at the time of writing this, everything in the video is incredibly useful and in fact covers the question you asked. After watching them, you may also want to pick apart apples own app which they made with CloudKit, paying careful attention to AAPLCloudManager. The link below is for this app. Hope this helps!

For firstName, lastName you can use this way, e-mail / appleID I still do not know:
var defaultContainer = CKContainer.defaultContainer()
var publicDatabase = defaultContainer.publicCloudDatabase
defaultContainer.discoverUserInfoWithUserRecordID(recordID, {userInfo, error in
println("firstName: \(userInfo.firstName?) lastName: \(userInfo.lastName?)")
})

I am creating an app (Xcode, swift) that has a profile page for each user and I want their name to appear on that page.
I have been able to get their email address through:
let email : String = (Auth.auth().currentUser?.email)!
How would I gather the users name? I have the users UID as well.
I am using firebase by the way
If you are not using Google or Facebook to log in with firebase, You need to manually create the profile for each user. See Update a user's profile
If you're using a social provider to sign in, you can get the display name from that provider through Firebase with:
Auth.auth().currentUser?.displayName
If you're signing in with another provider, the display name won't automatically be set, and you will (as Abdullah answered) have to create your own registration system where the user enters their name - and you then store it in the displayName property of Firebase Authentication.
To achieve what you requested, you either have to use a social auth provider (such as Google or Facebook) or change it yourself from the client, as the other answers suggest.
First of all, you would have to create a changeRequest, using the following code
let changeRequest = Auth.auth().currentUser?.createProfileChangeRequest()
Once the change request is created, you can change whatever basic information you need to (either the photo URL or the display name) with the following code:
changeRequest?.displayName = "Lorem ipsum"
changeRequest?.photoURL = "https://your_link/path_to_image.png"
Finally, you must send the change request to Firebase, which will handle it and possibly return an error for you to handle.
changeRequest?.commitChanges { error in
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
// You can handle the given error here
return
}
}
As others have already pointed out, you can find this and more information on the official on the official Firebase docs website.
I know I can look up a CloudKit user's unique ID like this:
CKContainer.default().fetchUserRecordID() { recordID, error in
if let recordID = recordID{
print(recordID.recordName) //_abcdef1234...
}
}
And then I can ask them for permission to grant access to their contact info like this:
CKContainer.default().requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability){ status, error in
//...
}
And then I can look up their email address like this:
let userInfo = CKUserIdentityLookupInfo(userRecordID: recordID)
if let email = userInfo.emailAddress{
print(email) // user#example.com
}
But what I'm not clear on, is what is that email address? Is that their actual Apple ID email that Apple stores in their iCloud account? Or is it just whatever they happen to put in the Contacts app on their Mac or iOS device?
I want to know how reliable that email is. If ownership of that email address is not verified through the above techniques, then I'll pursue a different way of getting the user's email address.
Thanks for your help! :)
Is there a way to get FIRUser data back from a Firebase by using their uid? For example:
let firebaseUser:FIRUser = FIRAuth().auth()?.getUserByUid(someuid)
I'm doing this because I want to allow a user to see a friend's display name in the app.
Thanks!
In order to get someone by their Uid, you would need to store The data that you want in the database. You can use child["user"] with child["Uid"] to store things like a user's name or photoURL. Check out this series of videos. He shows you how to do a signup flow with FIRAuth and FIRDatabase. The next video in the series shows how you query the data if you don't already know how to do that.
I'm a newbie to app development. I am building a Windows Phone 8.1 app and have followed the tutorial here: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-dotnet-backend-windows-store-dotnet-get-started-users-preview/ to add authentication using Facebook. Everything seems to work fine, except that every now and again it appears to stop bringing back any data from my Azure database. Further investigation revealed that the UserId that is being shown from the code below, changes periodically (although I can't quite work out how often it changes).
// Define a member variable for storing the signed-in user.
private MobileServiceUser user;
...
var provider = "Facebook";
...
// Login with the identity provider.
user = await App.MobileService.LoginAsync(provider);
// Create and store the user credentials.
credential = new PasswordCredential(provider,
user.UserId, user.MobileServiceAuthenticationToken);
vault.Add(credential);
...
message = string.Format("You are now logged in - {0}", user.UserId);
var dialog = new MessageDialog(message);
dialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
await dialog.ShowAsync();
This code is identical to the code in the tutorial. The Facebook app settings (on the Facebook developers site) confirm that I am using v2.3 of their API so I should be getting app-scoped UserIds back. I have only ever logged in with one Facebook account, so I would expect the UserId to be the same each time, but they're not. The UserId is prefaced with 'sid:', which someone on the Facebook developers group on Facebook itself says stands for Session ID, which they would expect to change, but if that's the case, I can't work out where to get the actual UserId from that I can then store in my database and do useful things with. I'm sure I must be doing something basic wrong, but I have spent hours Googling this and cannot (unusually) find an answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
So dug deeper. This is how Mobile Apps work (I was thinking from a Mobile Services perspective). The issue here is that the Gateway doesn't provide static SIDs, which is what User.userId provides. The work around to this is listed in the migration doc.
You can only get the Facebook AppId on the server.
ServiceUser user = (ServiceUser) this.User;
FacebookCredentials creds = (await user.GetIdentitiesAsync()).OfType< FacebookCredentials >().FirstOrDefault();
string mobileServicesUserId = creds.Provider + ":" + creds.UserId;
You should note, that this Id is directly connected with your Facebook App registration. If you ever want to migrate your App to a new Facebook App, you'd have to migrate them. You can also use the Facebook AppId to look up the user's global facebook Id via the Facebook Graph API, which you could use between applications. If you don't see yourself using multiple apps, etc., you can use the Facebook AppId just fine.
Hard to tell what's going on to cause you to use a SID instead of the Faceboook token (which like Facebook:10153...).
It may be faster to rip out the code and reimplement the Auth GetStarted. Maybe you missed a step or misconfigured something along the way. If you have the code hosted on github, I can try to take a look.
Another thing you can do is to not trust the user to give you their User id when you save it to a table. On your insert function, you can add it there.
function insert(item, user, request) {
item.id = user.userId;
request.execute();
}
That should, theoretically, be a valid Facebook token. Let me know if that doesn't work; can dig deeper.
'm using the Facebook SDK 6.0 for Unity3D.
After my user accept the connection, I want to save his ID, email etc ... on a Parse database, and have the possibility to get some info from this database for this player (for exemple : the list of unlock levels).
How can I do it ?
I know how create an object, but I want to know, after a connection on Facebook, how to save the user and some details on Parse, without using the Parse login (as on the official Parse tutorial).
I can't understand.
Thank you very very much in advance for your help.
Best regards,
AB
You can try saving this information in the local ParseUser Object. Just add custom fields with the necessary information. For more complex solutions you can create a custom parse object to save the information.
https://parse.com/docs/unity_guide#users
var user = new ParseUser()
{
Username = "my name",
Password = "my pass",
Email = "email#example.com"
};
// other fields can be set just like with ParseObject
user["IsUnlocked"] = true;
Task signUpTask = user.SignUpAsync();
and for Facebook there is a special signup method in the ParseFacebookUtils class
https://parse.com/docs/unity_guide#fbusers
Task<ParseUser> logInTask = ParseFacebookUtils.LogInAsync(userId, accessToken, tokenExpiration);
