结合使用AWS和Xamarin进行永久登录

Question

I am using the AWSSDK Nuget packages in my Xamarin mobile app (c#). I authenticate the user and get back AccessToken, RefreshToken, IdToken, etc.. but if the user closes the app without signing out, how can I retrieve those tokens?

The AWS docs for Xamarin seem to be pretty much non-existent. I have been using the docs for .Net as a resource, but it doesn't mention anything about persistent sign ins.

Do I need to take it upon myself to store the tokens on the device locally? If so, what are the best practices for this?

Answer 1

Try the Xamarin.Auth . It has the code to securely store the tokens on the client device. As long as the source code is available, you can either use the library as a cross-platform account store or just grab the code to store data for each platform:

iOS Account Store

Android Account Store

WinRT Account Store

UWP Account Store

The library is regularly updated and maintained. Consider joining the Xamarin Slack chat for quick technical answers.
