A Swift framework for OAuth2 authentication on Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS), supporting all standard OAuth2 flows.
OAuth2 is a Swift framework for implementing OAuth2 authentication on Apple platforms, including iOS, macOS, and tvOS. It provides a comprehensive solution for handling authorization flows, token management, and secure API requests, simplifying integration with OAuth2-based services like GitHub, Google, and Facebook.
iOS and macOS developers building apps that require OAuth2 authentication to access third-party APIs, such as social media integrations, cloud services, or enterprise applications.
Developers choose OAuth2 for its native Swift implementation, support for all standard OAuth2 flows, seamless Alamofire integration, and robust handling of provider-specific quirks, reducing the complexity of secure authentication in Apple ecosystem apps.
OAuth2 framework for macOS and iOS, written in Swift.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports all standard OAuth2 flows including code grant, implicit grant, and device grant, detailed in the Flows section, ensuring compatibility with diverse authorization servers.
Integrates with ASWebAuthenticationSession and SFSafariViewController for secure, in-app login without switching to Safari, enhancing user experience and security per the Advanced Settings.
Handles token storage, automatic refresh using refresh tokens, and keychain integration with customizable settings, reducing boilerplate code as explained in the Token Management and Keychain sections.
Provides OAuth2DataLoader and dedicated wiki pages for easy use with Alamofire, streamlining API requests with automatic token handling and reducing network code complexity.
Limited to macOS, iOS, and tvOS, with no support for other platforms like Android or web, making it unsuitable for cross-platform or server-side Swift projects.
Setup requires manual configuration of redirect URIs, Info.plist entries, and understanding of OAuth2 parameters, which can be error-prone and daunting for developers new to OAuth2, as noted in the Usage steps.
While it works with other methods, optimal features like OAuth2DataLoader are designed around Alamofire, limiting flexibility if using alternative networking libraries like URLSession directly.
