Preparation

Configure in Linkedin Developer Center (opens new window) and Authing Console (opens new window).


Integrated LinkedIn Login

Step 1: Add Linkedin dependency

  1. Enter: https://github.com/Authing/authing-binary in the swift package search bar.

  2. Select Authing-binary (opens new window).

Authing-binary (opens new window) depends on Guard-iOS SDK (opens new window).

  1. Select Up to Next Major Version 1.0.0 for the dependency rule.

  2. Check Linkedin after Add Package.

Linkedin depends on the version after Guard-iOS 1.4.3 (opens new window).


Step 2: Initialize LinkedIn Login

import Guard
import Linkedin

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
     Authing.start(<#AUTHING_APP_ID#>)
     // clientId: LinkedIn console clientId
     // permissions: LinkedIn console OAuth 2.0 scopes, for example: r_liteprofile
     // redirectURI: LinkedIn console authorization callback page
     Linkedin.register(clientId: <#your_linkedin_clientId#>, permissions: <#your_linkedin_scopes#>, redirectURI: <#your_linkedin_redirecturi#>)
}

Step 3: Initiate LinkedIn login authorization

LinkedIn Authorized Login

func login(viewController: UIViewController, completion: @escaping Authing.AuthCompletion) -> Void

parameter

  • viewController AuthViewController hosting the view

example

Linkedin.login(viewController: <#ViewController#>) { code, message, userInfo in
     if (code == 200) {
         // login successful
         // userInfo
     }
}

If the developer integrates LinkedIn login by himself, after getting the AuthorizationCode, he can call the following API in exchange for Authing user information:

Login via LinkedIn Authorization Code

func loginByLinkedin(_ code: String, completion: @escaping(Int, String?, UserInfo?) -> Void)

parameter

code LinkedIn authorization code

example

AuthClient().loginByLinkedin(authCode) { code, message, userInfo in
     if (code == 200) {
         // userInfo: user information
     }
}
