I've just read through the following documentation: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/social-network-services-tizen
I have a few questions:
- Are there any plans to clean up how authentication is handled within Tizen web applications? I think it would be better if there was one standard method supported for each, such as OAuth. I realize OAuth requires callbacks, but the alternative is going a different route for each social media service (i.e. FB, Twitter, YouTube).
- What are the plans for Facebook authentication? I was pretty shocked when I saw that the only solution listed within the Tizen documentation is to use the deprecated FB REST API. They are currently in the process of removing this API. You see the following warning and instruction right at the top of their REST API documentation:
We are in the process of deprecating the REST API. If you are building a new Facebook app, please use the Graph API. While there is still functionality that we have not ported over yet, the Graph API is the center of Facebook Platform moving forward and where all new features will be found.
