Is there any way to use myspaceid based authenticatoin from withing iPhone?
I want the user of my application to be logged in using myspaceid.
I am looking for similar functionality as "Facebook Connect for iPhone" provides..

Thanks

 I don't believe that's available yet, but I think it's coming soon. Let me check in and get back to you :)

Rhonda,

MyspaceID use Oauth for authentication purpose and Oauth supports mobile and desktop applications too. Here is an example:

http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/java/example/desktop/

 Can we utilize this mechanism to authenticate users using Myspace account in mobile applications?

That's what I am checking on. I don't think we've implemented that yet at myspace. :)

In other words, I know the functionality exists, but we may not have it avail yet.

Rhonda

 Thanks for quick reply. 

If the work on this is in progress, I would like to know an estimate date of release. It is critical for me to know that in which month (I am sure the year will be 2009), I will be able to login using MyspaceID in mobile apps.

Thanks

Yes, according to Kiam on this post: http://developer.myspace.com/Community/forums/t/8299.aspx

"  Mobile support for MySpaceID is not currently available yet, but we are already working on it."

That's where I thought we were. Let me see if I can get you an ETA. Thanks :)

 I just came accross the MySpaceID FAQs and found this:

http://wiki.developer.myspace.com/index.php?title=MySpaceID_FAQs#I_have_a_mobile_application_or_a_desktop_client._Can_I_use_MySpaceID.3F

It says you can use MySpaceID in mobile applications.

Yes, you will be able to :)

Again, from what I understand this is still in progress, but I could be totally wrong so let me double check in the morning. :)

 I just re-read kiam's post and it says that they're working on the mobile publishing comments and status. Maybe that's what is still in progress. :) I need to get it cleared up with him in the AM.

 Anyway, yes MySpaceID would for sure be the way to do it.

I was correct, this is not yet available ( We're working on a SDK for iPhone as we speak but I have no ETA right now.)

It is possible that you can access our rest endpoints from a mobile or desktop app but we don't have any implementations that I am aware of.

I'm sure we'll announce when the SDK becomes available. In the meantime, let us know if you're successful doing this on your own :)

Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

Rhonda

Thanks for confirmation. No more question right now.

I haven't yet tried to do this on my own. But now I will have to try to do this work on my own :)

 I have another query. I have developed a website optimized for mobile browser. The website allows users to sign in using myspaceid. On a mobile browser, when user clicks on myspaceid button, it redirects to myspace login page (i-e http://api.myspace.com/authorize/oauth_token?=xxx, this page is not optimized for mobile screen. Is there any way to show this login page optimized for mobile screen?

We don't have official support for mobile platforms yet, but that is coming.  So please bear with the unoptimized screen for now, and check back in a few weeks!  Thanks for your support!

 Any update??

We're working on it!  Please stay tuned!

 Is there an update on the status of the iPhone SDK? Thanks!
