Hey all! My team and I have been looking into possible ways to integrate our [future] Discourse instance into our mobile application - Noom. Our iOS app is written in Objective-C with some Swift, and our Android application is written in Java with some Kotlin. We’ve been debating between full integ…

There is a new way of authentication. However the documentation is yet to be released. [image] Delegated authentication for Discourse Mobile app dev Originally when we built the mobile app Apple offered seamless embedding of Safari in mobile apps. All was good, you could…

I’m going to update the documentation about delegated authentication soon, but I can give you some pointers right here.

[image] pmusaraj: I will write a proper documentation shortly, but this should help you get started. @pmusaraj hey, is there already any official documentation available to the public? I’d love to dig deeper.

I’m going to tackle this exact thing over the next few days, I will update on my success or failure. If anyone has any guides or pointers I’d welcome them :slight_smile:

Hey Penar, thanks for the links very useful. I’m making progress but believe I’m formatting my public key incorrectly, how does the formatting on this look? https://myserver.com/user-api-key/new?client_id=11223344556677889900AABBCCDDEEFF11223344556677889900AABBCCDDEEFF&nonce=11223344556677889900A…

I just published a script to do this exact thing @xceph . Check Generating User API Keys for testing .
