Re: [jgen] Programmatically change session lifetime

[Denis Ryabov]

I'd try to use "remember me" functionality, in the simplest way it looks like:
$app->login($credentials, array('remember'=>true));

Thanks for the tip Denis.

But no luck. The remember me function needs a cookie. And the iPhone developer tells me that is not an option in the app.

You could implement a component that provided OAuth and used that to
reliably authenticate the user.
