Sign in with Instagram and Twitter using Gitkit?

[dyna...@gmail.com]

Hi.

I was wondering if it is possible to extend Gitkit with new Identity Providers?

The thing is that in my iOS App I am currently allowing to authenticate using Google, Facebook and username/password using Gitkit. However I would also like the user to be able to authenticate using Instagram and Twitter, especially Instagram is important.

I am aware that Instagram does not provide a native iOS SDK for authentication yet, however it is possible with web. One approach is to use a UIWebView like InstagramKit. Is it possible to provide extensions for Gitkit and if where do I find the documentation for it?

Regarding Twitter they do have a native iOS API for authentication and it is really easy using the ACAccountStore with allows login with Facebook, Twitter and some others (ACAccountType). But I am planning in the very near future to begin the development of the Android application also, which means that using Gitkit is the preferred for me.

To summarize my question: Does Gitkit provide an option to extend it with more Identity Providers, i.e. write plugins for the Gitkit backend and client. If not will Gitkit provide authentication using Instagram (preferred at the moment) and Twitter in the near future?

I believe that the user base of Instagram and Twitter is to big for Gitkit (and me) to ignore.

If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Best regards,

Kaj

Hi Kaj,

We fully expect to add more Identity Providers to Gitkit going forward. We're thinking about what options are best to provide, and we'll take your requests into consideration. I'll let you know if we are able to slot one of these in soon.

Cheers,

Derek

Hi Derek,
Any chance twitter as an idp is now possible ?

Would like to integrate it into an Android app.

Hi Kaj,

Did you eventually set up both Instagram and twitter as an idp in your project?
Looking to add same to an android app.

Thanks.
