So my end goal is to make Android, IOS, and Windows phone apps.
The technology that I'm stuck with using are as follows:
SQL Server Management on our Server, hosting our website with IIS. - Our currently filled databases are on this server and we use ASP.Net Membership for Authentication. I want to use Web API as of right now, because it's free. But if there is a better option, then I wouldn't mind changing. - I created a beginner's level Microsoft Web API to make REST calls to our servers for the data to display on the Android app (JSON). I'm focusing on Xamarin.Android for right now, until I can get the REST API sorted out.
The problem is, I do not know how to implement Authentication and Authorization within our Android app.
What is the best way to implement Authentication and Authorization within our Xamarin.Android app? Do I do this on the Web API end or Xamarin.Android end, or both?
I was looking into Auth0, but didn't really grasp it, because there were no good tutorials that pertained to this topic.
Also, if you could suggest articles that are tutorials for this type of thing, it would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
