NOTE: this is very outdated as of 03/19/19. I don't recommend using this demo. But I DO recommend using Auth0! It's great! See their documentation here: https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/native/xamarin/01-login

Auth0Demo

A demo of how to use the Auth0 client SDK with Xamarin Forms

Setup

1. Move PrivateKeys.cs into place

In the src/Auth0Demo.Config/Temp folder, you'll see a file named PrivateKeys.cs. Move this file into the src/Auth0Demo.Config folder. The final path should be src/Auth0Demo.Config/PrivateKeys.cs:

src/Auth0Demo.Config/Temp/PrivateKeys.cs --> src/Auth0Demo.Config/PrivateKeys.cs

2. Obtain an Auth0 domain and client ID

Sign up for an Auth0 account. Follow the instructions to setup whichever auth providers you're interested in (Github, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc.), and then find your Auth0 Domain and Client ID:

3. Then copy and paste your Auth0 domain and Client ID into PrivateKeys.cs

Caveats

UWP

The UWP target is not currently working. For some reason, the static Settings class cannot be found at runtime, and I'm not sure why. I'll try to fix when I get time, but no promises.

Insecure storage of authentication token and profile information

For the purposes of this sample, the token and profile information that is recieved after a successful login is stored in Xam.Plugins.Settings. This is done merely as a convenience for this demo. This is NOT a secure storage medium. It is strongly advised that you instead use some sort of secure storage mechanism, such as the iOS keychain, or perhaps enctrypted SQLite or encrypted Akavache. Secure storage of tokens and profiles is your responsibility.

This secure key/value pair secure storage plugin may be a good fit: https://github.com/sameerkapps/SecureStorage
