Is there support for service account authentication?

[Otto Giesenfeld]

Hi,

I cannot seem to find any methods for specifying a private key for certificate authentication of service accounts, like there is in for example the .NET Google API library. Is such authentication supported with gtm-oauth2, or is the library only intended for authentication methods that involve user interaction?

See https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount for a better explanation of what kind of authentication I am referring to.

Or does certificate authentication rely on some native Cocoa authentication functionality? I only very rarely use Xcode and the Apple libraries and would appreciate any help.

The library does not have support for service accounts. Service accounts are intended for use on servers rather than on client devices.
