Microsoft Authentication Library Graph API Sample for Apple iOS in Swift

Getting Started	Library	Docs	Support

The MSAL preview library for iOS and macOS gives your app the ability to begin using the Microsoft Cloud by supporting Microsoft Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Accounts in a converged experience using industry standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. This sample demonstrates all the normal lifecycles your application should experience, including:

How to get a token
How to refresh a token
How to call the Microsoft Graph API
How to sign a user out of your application

Example

    if let application = try? MSALPublicClientApplication.init(clientId: <your-client-id-here>) {
        application.acquireToken(forScopes: kScopes) { (result, error) in
            if result != nil {
                    // Set up your app for the user
            } else {
                print(error?.localizedDescription)
            }
        }
    }
    else {
            print("Unable to create application.")
        }

App Registration

You will need to have a native client application registered with Microsoft using our App Registration Portal. You must do this even if you have previousdly registered your app with the legact portal. Once done, you will need add the redirect URI of msal<your-client-id-here>://auth in the portal.

Installation

We use Carthage for package management during the preview period of MSAL. This package manager integrates very nicely with XCode while maintaining our ability to make changes to the library. The sample is set up to use Carthage.

If you're building for iOS, tvOS, or watchOS

Install Carthage on your Mac using a download from their website or if using Homebrew brew install carthage.
We have already created a Cartfile that lists the MSAL library for this project on Github. We use the /dev branch.
Run carthage update. This will fetch dependencies into a Carthage/Checkouts folder, then build the MSAL library.
On your application targets’ “General” settings tab, in the “Linked Frameworks and Libraries” section, drag and drop the MSAL.framework from the Carthage/Build folder on disk.
On your application targets’ “Build Phases” settings tab, click the “+” icon and choose “New Run Script Phase”. Create a Run Script in which you specify your shell (ex: /bin/sh), add the following contents to the script area below the shell:

/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks

and add the paths to the frameworks you want to use under “Input Files”, e.g.:

$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/MSAL.framework

This script works around an App Store submission bug triggered by universal binaries and ensures that necessary bitcode-related files and dSYMs are copied when archiving.

With the debug information copied into the built products directory, Xcode will be able to symbolicate the stack trace whenever you stop at a breakpoint. This will also enable you to step through third-party code in the debugger.

When archiving your application for submission to the App Store or TestFlight, Xcode will also copy these files into the dSYMs subdirectory of your application’s .xcarchive bundle.

Configure your application

Add your application's redirect URI scheme to added in the portal to your info.plist file. It will be in the format of msal<client-id>

    <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>msalyour-client-id-here</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>

Configure your application defaults

In the ViewControler.swift file, update the kClientID variable with your client ID.

    // Update the below to your client ID you received in the portal. The below is for running the demo only
    
    let kClientID = "<your-client-id-here>"
