Overview
This class signs the user in with Google.
It provides single sign-on via the Google+ app (if installed), Chrome for iOS (if installed), or Mobile Safari.
For reference, please see "Google+ Sign-In for iOS" at https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/ios/sign-in . Here is sample code to use GPPSignIn:
- Get a reference to the
GPPSignInshared instance: GPPSignIn *signIn = [GPPSignIn sharedInstance]; - Set the OAuth 2.0 scopes you want to request: [signIn setScopes:[NSArray arrayWithObject: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login"]];
- Call
[signIn setDelegate:self]; - Set up delegate method
finishedWithAuth:error:. - Call
handleURLon the shared instance fromapplication:openUrl:...in your app delegate. - Call [signIn authenticate];

Member Function Documentation
| + (GPPSignIn *) sharedInstance |
Returns a shared GPPSignIn instance.
| - (BOOL) hasAuthInKeychain |
Checks whether the user has either currently signed in or has previous authentication saved in keychain.
| - (BOOL) trySilentAuthentication |
Attempts to authenticate silently without user interaction.
Returns YES and calls the delegate if the user has either currently signed in or has previous authentication saved in keychain. Note that if the previous authentication was revoked by the user, this method still returns YES but finishedWithAuth:error: callback will indicate that authentication has failed.
| - (void) authenticate |
Starts the authentication process.
Set attemptSSO to try single sign-on. If attemptSSO is true, try to authenticate with the Google+ app, if installed. If false, always use Google+ via Chrome or Mobile Safari for authentication. The delegate will be called at the end of this process. Note that this method should not be called when the app is starting up, (e.g in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:). Instead use the trySilentAuthentication method.
| - (BOOL) handleURL: | (NSURL *) | url | |
| sourceApplication: | (NSString *) | sourceApplication | |
| annotation: | (id) | annotation | |
This method should be called from your UIApplicationDelegate's application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation.
Returns YES if GPPSignIn handled this URL. Also see handleURL:sourceApplication:annotation: in GPPURLHandler.
| - (void) signOut |
Removes the OAuth 2.0 token from the keychain.
| - (void) disconnect |
Disconnects the user from the app and revokes previous authentication.
If the operation succeeds, the OAuth 2.0 token is also removed from keychain. The token is needed to disconnect so do not call signOut if disconnect is to be called.
| - (GTLServicePlus *) plusService |
Gets a service object authenticated as the current user.
The service object can execute queries, for example, to get list of people that is visible to this app. The user must be signed in for this method to work.

The default value is @[@"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login"].
- (BOOL) attemptSSO [read, write, assign] |
Whether or not to attempt Single-Sign-On when signing in.
If attemptSSO is true, the sign-in button tries to authenticate with the Google+ application if it is installed. If false, it always uses Google+ via Chrome for iOS, if installed, or Mobile Safari for authentication. The default value is YES.
- (NSString*) language [read, write, copy] |
The language for sign-in, in the form of ISO 639-1 language code optionally followed by a dash and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 region code, such as @"it" or @"pt-PT".

- (NSString*) keychainName [read, write, copy] |
Name of the keychain to save the sign-in state.
Only set if a custom name needs to be used.
- (NSArray*) actions [read, write, copy] |
An NSString array of moment types used by your app.
Use values from the full list at https://developers.google.com/+/api/moment-types . such as "http://schemas.google.com/AddActivity". This property is required only for writing moments, with "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login" as a scope.
- (BOOL) shouldFetchGoogleUserEmail [read, write, assign] |
Whether or not to fetch user email after signing in.
The email is saved in the GTMOAuth2Authentication object. Note that using this flag automatically adds "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email" scope to the request.
- (BOOL) shouldFetchGoogleUserID [read, write, assign] |
Whether or not to fetch user ID after signing in.
The ID can be retrieved by googleUserID after user has been authenticated. Note that using this flag automatically adds "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile" scope to the request if a scope that provides user ID is not already present.
- (BOOL) shouldFetchGooglePlusUser [read, write, assign] |
Whether or not to fetch Google+ user profile after signing in.
The user profile object can be retrieved by googlePlusUser after user has been authenticated. Note that using this flag automatically adds "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me" scope to the request if needed.
