A Swift library for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 authentication on iOS and macOS.
OAuthSwift is a native Swift library for implementing OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 authentication in iOS and macOS apps. It handles the entire OAuth flow—from redirecting users to service providers for authorization to managing access tokens and making signed API requests. This eliminates the need to manually parse OAuth responses or manage token security.
iOS and macOS developers building apps that need to authenticate users via third-party services like social networks, cloud storage, or APIs that use OAuth.
Developers choose OAuthSwift because it’s a pure-Swift, dependency-free solution that supports a wide range of OAuth providers out of the box. Its native integration with iOS/macOS URL handling and extensible design make it more reliable and easier to customize than rolling your own OAuth implementation.
Swift based OAuth library for iOS
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Handles both OAuth 1.0 and 2.0, including PKCE flows, with clear code examples for each in the README, reducing implementation complexity for diverse APIs.
Supports over 30 popular services like Twitter, GitHub, and Dropbox, with direct links to their OAuth documentation in the README for easy integration.
Allows using external browsers, SFSafariViewController, or custom web view controllers via OAuthSwiftURLHandlerType, detailed in the URL handler section for customization.
A pure Swift library that gives developers full control over authentication, as stated in its philosophy, avoiding third-party package bloat.
Requires configuring URL schemes in Xinfo.plist and implementing callback handling in AppDelegate or SceneDelegate, which is error-prone and adds boilerplate code, as detailed in the setup instructions.
Does not provide pre-built authentication screens; developers must implement web view controllers or rely on SFSafariViewController, increasing development overhead for UI integration.
Exclusively for iOS and macOS, making it unsuitable for cross-platform projects beyond the Apple ecosystem, as noted in the GitHub description.
