Office 365 Connect Sample for iOS Using Microsoft Graph

Connecting to Office 365 is the first step every iOS app must take to start working with Office 365 services and data. This sample shows how to connect and then call one API through Microsoft Graph (previously called Office 365 unified API).

Prerequisites

• Xcode from Apple

• An Office 365 account. You can sign up for an Office 365 Developer subscription that includes the resources that you need to start building Office 365 apps.

  Note: If you already have a subscription, the previous link sends you to a page with the message Sorry, you can’t add that to your current account. In that case, use an account from your current Office 365 subscription.

• A Microsoft Azure tenant to register your application. Azure Active Directory (AD) provides identity services that applications use for authentication and authorization. A trial subscription can be acquired here: Microsoft Azure.

  Important: You will also need to ensure your Azure subscription is bound to your Office 365 tenant. To do this, see the Active Directory team's blog post, Creating and Managing Multiple Windows Azure Active Directories. The section Adding a new directory will explain how to do this. You can also see Set up your Office 365 development environment and the section Associate your Office 365 account with Azure AD to create and manage apps for more information.

• A client id (application id) and redirect uri values of an application registered in Azure. This sample application must be granted the Send mail as user permission for Microsoft Graph. To create the registration, see Grant permissions to the Connect application in Azure.

Running this sample in Xcode

1. Clone this repository
2. Use Carthage to import the Microsoft Authenticaion Library (MSAL) iOS dependency. Download the latest version of Carthage here.
3. Open O365-iOS-Microsoft-Graph-Connect.xcodeproj
4. Open info.plist. You'll see that the ClientID (application id you received from the registration process in the prerequisites section) goes here.

  <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>msalENTER_YOUR_CLIENT_ID</string>
                <string>auth</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>

Build the MSAL framework

The preview version of MSAL is distributed as source code using Carthage. To build the source code, do these steps:

1. Open the Bash terminal and go to the app root folder.

2. Create a cartfile: Copy echo "github \"AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-objc\" \"master\"" > Cartfile into the terminal and run the command.

3. Build the MSAL library: Copy carthage update into the terminal and run the command.

4. Run the sample.
