I want to authenticate user using Twitter oAuth framework to get oAuth string and Consumer key. But I don’t want to include the whole framework as Only I want to authenticate user don’t want to share or tweet using oAuth on twitter.
Please help me guys
You can use OAuth.io with the IOS SDK for this purpose.
It works easily for more than 90 providers as Twitter and it's lightweight (~33kb).

I was reading this post here among others. I have an iOS app which connects to a LoopbackJS API. Users can register manually but I also want to allow Facebook authentication. I added the Facebook SDK and I can get a token and all that, but...
1) What is the best, most secure way to authenticate them with my existing API?
2) Do I use their Facebook information to create an account?
3) If so what do I use as the password?
4) Sites like Tinder don't ask me to add my own password, what are they doing? Storing some version of my token as the password in their API?
Loopback has Passport built in but the documentation is terrible and confusing and I am having a lot of trouble getting it to work with the iOS Facebook SDK.
I am working on a mac application which involves Facebook support so that they can share to Facebook via our app.
For this, I am using Facebook Graph API's which internally uses oAuth protocol to access user resources. In this process, it uses webview to enter users credentials(username and password) which provides the "Access_token".
But my requirement of the application is that it should not use webview to enter user credentials rather it should use other view controller to provide user credentials. So I need to go for xAuth protocol as in twitter uses.
Can anyone help me in this issue? If facebook supports xAuth, please make suggestions.
Facebook doesn't offer "desktop" application authentication support as detailed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
What you would have to do, is get them to authorize your app on a website, then use the access token for the desktop app and that is if your app is connected to some kind of server.
Otherwise you will have to follow their suggestion of embedding a browser and reading the access token once it is received.
Are services like Facebook and twitter using the same oAuth mechanism for their own (mobile) apps as the rest of us? Or are the using some kind of "special mode" in oAuth which bypasses the permissions stuff etc. ?
Would really like to know how they are authenticating their users.
Facebook is not using oauth and have special login/private API for their own purposes. Only Facebook is 1st class citizen for these APIs and they don't need to bother with public APIs.
Facebook's iPhone,Android,etc apps can log users in directly with username and password and create a new Facebook session directly, but other apps using the API need to use Oauth to get a user access token
If you're using android or iphone SDKs, this can be without the user needing to log in again, they simply need to authorise the app in a dialog, which is rendered by the Facebook app and uses the session created by the Facebook-supplied app
yes, they use oAuth
Twitter oAuth
Facebook oAuth
Facebook Connect is based on OAuth 2.0. In OAuth 2.0. SSL is required while signatures are not required for the actual API calls once the token has been generated. It has only one security token.
Twitter uses 1.0a. OAuth 1.0 requires client to send two security tokens for each API call, and use both to generate the signature.
I have struck with posting my application to apple because of following reason.
Application is not posting tweets to twitter. I have implemmented twitter with basic Auth. so that it is not working from August 31, 2010.

How to upgrade from Twitter BasicAuth to Oauth in my iPhone Application.
Another question is:
This (Oauth) should not change the UI of my application. means when user clicks on twitter button it should ask user name and password every time, and if we click on send button it should send tweets to twitter.
i implemented the Oauth but it is asking the username and password one time.
I suggest you check out MGTwitterEngine on GitHub. This library wraps up the Twitter API nicely and does the OAuth stuff as well.
You don't need to ask you user for their username and password every time. You can get their credentials initially and then store the access token you get back from Twitter (or from MGTwitterEngine if you choose to use that library) and use that for next time.
MGTwitterEngine wraps up the access token with an OAToken object which does the persistence for you.

hello everyone i am new bie in iphone development i want to connect to linkedin from my native iphone application i am currently having no idea how to connect to it please guide me how could i do that
From http://www.zhangkf.com/2010/06/linkedin-developer-network-oauth-authentication/:
Yes you can get connected with Linedin withyour Native Application by
following simple steps:
You get an API key from LinkedIn. This is also called a Consumer Key in OAuth terminology.
You build a feature into your site that leverages the user's LinkedIn network.
Your user clicks on your UI to request to use that feature.
You make a call to LinkedIn to ask to use our authentication. This is called getting a Request Token.
LinkedIn replies with an OAuth Token indicating that you can use the authentication system.
You send your user to a LinkedIn URL. That URL includes the OAuth Token you got and a few other parameters such as a URL for LinkedIn to
return the user to after granting access.
The user grants access to your application by signing into that page.
Upon successful signon, LinkedIn will return the user to your site.
You will then make a call to LinkedIn to get an Access Token.
LinkedIn replies with an Access Token for the user. You use that Access Token for any API calls to LinkedIn to identify the user on
whose behalf you are making the call.
Or
Download the Code from here,you could get it.Just Provide your API Key and Secrete Key
http://github.com/ResultsDirect/LinkedIn-iPhone
Or see this for details:
http://developer.linkedin.com/docs/DOC-1008
This sample is 100% complete and working, just add your app key.
Built with the latest XCode 4.01.
Uses a UIWebView so you have the option of customizing the browser UI.
Uses JSON instead of XML, which is the preferred best practice for most cases
OAuth is heavily documented so you know what's happening
Tested with iPhone 4, iPad 1, and the simulator on iOS 4.x.
