I'm building my WP8 app in combination with Azure Mobile Services. I use Twitter as authentication method for Azure. So I use the following code to log in:
user = await Client.LoginAsync(MobileServiceAuthenticationProvider.Twitter);
Where Client is my MobileServiceClient.
When executed, this triggers a WebBrowser to open and let the user log in, etc. After that, the 'user' object is succesfully filled. (.UserId).
However, I want this login only to happen once. Because the next time the user opens the app, he needs to log in again.
Suggestions mentioned in an other thread (here) suggest I build the user object myself with the previously obtained data like this:
var mobileServiceClient = new MobileServiceClient("<your-app-url>", "<your-app-key>");
mobileServiceClient.CurrentUser = new MobileServiceUser("Foo:123456789");
mobileServiceClient.CurrentUser.MobileServiceAuthenticationToken = "<your-users-JWT>";
But this isn't possible in WP8... The MobileServiceUser hasn't got a constructor with 1 parameter, of when an empty user constructed, the UserId property is read-only.. Also the MobileServiceAuthenticationToken isn't available. So this method won't work.
My authenticaton with Twitter itself works, I obtained the accessToken and accessTokenSecret with the user.getIdentities, so to be clear, the problem is the user authentication with my azure mobile service..
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
