Using GoogleAPIClient with TvOS

[Karl Rivest Harnois]

I want to use GoogleAPIClient in an apple tv app. I have access to GooglAPIClient via cocoapods but not GTMOAuth2 (which is only accessible for iOS). Is it possible to authenticate the user without GTMOAuth2? If so how can I do that?


Thanks!

fyi GTL is being spun down (https://github.com/google/google-api-objectivec-client#warning-deprecation-notice), and GTLR (https://github.com/google/google-api-objectivec-client-for-rest) is replacing it.

Since tvOS doesn't have a webview, gtm-oauth2 hasn't directly supported it.  You could use the non UI classes if you get the authorization info over to the box some other way.  gtm-oauth2 is also being replaced (https://github.com/google/gtm-oauth2#warning-deprecation-notice), https://github.com/google/GTMAppAuth is a new library by the signin/identity teams at google and that will work, and includes some tvOS examples.  So I'd suggest looking at that.
