How do you have an app redirect to Mobile Amazon's app from within another app? Can this be done from within AWS's API? Or is there a URI scheme (eg. amazon://amazon)

I have successfully set up SAML on my react web app with Google Identity Platform and the redirection works when logging in with my test account with Okta(Identity Provider). There is no documentation for mobile SAML setup for Google Identity Platform. Is there any way to set this up or customize the redirect behavior so that it redirects to a mobile URL scheme? (for example, my-apps-bundle-id://saml-sign-in)
It's not yet supported by Firebase for native apps. The "classic" approach is to use a secure equivalent of a web view: SFSafariViewController in iOS9+ or Chrome Custom Tabs in Chrome 45+
I have an Azure Mobile App service that I use with my (Cordova and Xamarin) mobile apps. The URL for the Mobile App service is https://gonzo.azurewebsites.net/ (not the real URL). I want to create a website (ASP.NET Core 2.0 Web App) that connects to my Azure Mobile App service, just like my apps do. I tried publishing it to the gonzo URL but that overwrote my mobile app service and thus I had to restore it. I’d love to know if there is a way to actually make that work.
My next step was to create the website and use a different URL https://kermit.azurewebsites.net/. I use social authentication for my app mobile service. When I debug it locally against localhost, everything works perfectly. The problem that I’m running into is that when I try to login from the published website, regardless of the auth provider (facebook, Microsoft, google), instead of getting to the login UI supplied by the login provider, I get a 403 with the URL looking something like this: https://gonzo.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/facebook/callback?code=long-code.
I thought this can be fixed by allowing the kermit origin in my Azure Mobile App service in CORS. I even tried setting CORS to allow all hosts (*) but that didn’t make a difference. Any idea how to make this work?

Based on your requirement, I assumed that you could deploy your NET Core 2.0 Web App along with your mobile app, at this point your two applications could share the authentication. For Detailed tutorial, you could follow Deploying multiple virtual directories to a single Azure Website.

According to your description, you are using the App Service Authentication / Authorization. I would recommend you directly access https://<your-mobile-app-name>.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/<provider-name> via the browser to make sure you have successfully set up the authentication for your mobile app.
If I understand you correctly that you want to create another Azure Web App to hosting your NET Core 2.0 Website, and your website wants to connect with your mobile app. Here are some approaches, you could refer to them:
For accessing mobile app in the front-end of your .Net Core web app
You could leverage the JavaScript SDK for Azure Mobile Apps in your .Net Core web app to access your mobile app. Details you could follow here. Additionally, if your website would also enable the app service authentication, you could just send GET https://<your-netcore-webapp-name>.azurewebsites.net/.auth/me to retrieve the access_token, then use the Client-managed authentication for logging with your mobile app in the front-end of your netcore website.
For accessing mobile app in the back-end of your .Net Core web app
I assume that your .Net Core web app would also need to enable social authentication via using the App Service Authentication / Authorization, and in the backend of your website you could retrieve the access_token for the current logged user, then you could use Client-managed authentication for logging with your mobile app. The logging request would look like this:
POST https://<your-mobile-app-name>.azurewebsites.net/.auth/login/<provider-name>
Payload: {"access_token":"<the-access-token-for-the-specific-social-provider>"}
Moreover, for retrieving the user logged infos (including the access_token,etc.) from App Service Authentication / Authorization (EasyAuth), you could follow this issue.
We're building an application which accesses files in Google Drive. Our application has a web UI, an Android App and an iOS app. We use oAuth2 to let the user authorize our app to access their Google Drive account. We use the Google Drive Java SDK in the web application and the Android/iOS SDK of Google Drive for mobile. We're unable to use the oAuth tokens returned by the Android SDK in iOS and vice versa. We also can't use the token received by the Java SDK(by our web server) in the Android app. Because of this, we have had to create separate oAuth clients for each platform(web, Android, iOS) and the user needs to authorize once on each platform, which is not very user-friendly. Is there a better way to use the same oAuth token across clients? Am I missing something very basic here?
You'll need to get a token on iOS and Android for the server.
See this doc for iOS
See this doc for Android
On each of the app, you'll ask a user to sign in first. Then check on the server if there is already a token or not. If not then ask for that access and store the token on the server.
Can I use Google Ads in my Windows Store apps?
If yes, then How? Google AdSense requires me to enter a Web Site address for my content review. How can I tell them that I'm developing an App?
If No, then what Ad policy may I use?
Per Google's page
The use of AdSense for mobile in a mobile application is a violation
of AdSense policies. A mobile application constitutes any downloadable
application, even if a WebView is used to display the ad. Any AdSense
for mobile ad units found in mobile applications will be disabled. If
you’re looking for an advertising solution for your mobile
application, please sign up for AdMob, Google’s leading mobile
advertising display product.
I am currently trying Microsoft Pub Center which is easy to setup in Windows Store Apps.
I am trying to host a HTML/JS based app on AWS. I need to implement a signup/login feature for this app, now I understand I'll have to have a database (mysql will work?) here. However is there an off-the-shelf way of implementing something like user sign-up for an app on AWS? I don't want to take care of numerous security and authentication scenarios my self.
The AWS SDK for Browser is made for this: https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-browser/
Social Login
Secure your web app's access to AWS resources without any server-side
code. AWS SDK for JavaScript makes it easy for you to integrate with
Amazon Cognito, which allows you to provide customizable levels of API
access to unauthenticated and authenticated users. Amazon Cognito is
easy to set up with Facebook, Google, Login with Amazon, and any
OpenID Connect identity provider. To learn how to do this, visit the
AWS JavaScript Development Blog.
