We are looking to create our own "My apps" From Office365 to create a launcher.
We currently use microsoft.graph for other functionalities (like authorization) but I don't see a way to get my tenants available apps.
Using getSubscribedSkus and the users's assignedPlans / assignedLicenses we can figure it out, but that shows nothing about pinned tiles, images, urls etc.
Is there another way to get this done?
Thanks!
There is an Applications API in preview under /beta: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/applications. The API is documented here: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/beta/resources/application

As far as I know, there is no API to achieve this so far. You may consider submitting a User Voice on https://officespdev.uservoice.com.

My company has an internal application where I need to pull/display pictures of all the employees from office 365 with out user intervention.
From what I read online I think I need to call Microsoft graph getphoto API in daemon application to achieve this as per this link (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/authorization/app_only).
Will this be a right approach? If yes please point me to any C# sample codes related to this.
Appreciate your responses.
Yes, this is exactly the type of application you will want to build. App-only (machine-to-machine) authentication should be used anytime you don't need a user present to execute functionality.
You can take a look at the ASP.NET Core App Only sample to get a sense of how to register and set up your app to use app-only authentication. The sample goes on to use this access token to set up webhooks, but you can replace this logic with your custom code. You will want to select the scope User.ReadBasic.All to have access to users' profile photos.
I have a windows application, developed in C#. where I need to perform Google oAuth so I'll get their profile. I don't want to ask the user to enter their Google Username and Password in my windows application (and of course users don't want that).
How can I do that ?
I tried
1.) Able to open Google Authentication page from my windows application, but can't figure it out how to get access token passed to my windows application.
Any inputs / suggestions ?
You can have a webBrowser control in you application. You can then let the user log in via the webBrowser control. You can then query the webBrowser control for the data.
What you are probably looking for is called 2-legged OAuth. You can get some example code here, but its in PHP. You can also see a C# Example here
I appreciate this is an old question but I'm currently looking into the same thing. From what I've found, using an embeded webBrowser as per SamFisher83's suggestion is "strongly discouraged".
I thought I'd share this guide from Google themselves.
Link to Google OAuth 2.0 guide
No doubt the OP found a way of doing it, but this was one of the first links that came up via a google search on the subject and thought I'd share the link for any future reference.
ShareStatusTask statusTask = new ShareStatusTask();
statusTask.Status = "Blogging";
statusTask.Show();
There is a ShareStatusTask available in Windows Phone 7 which meets most of my needs. But I need to further customize it. Meaning, I have individual Facebook, Twitter, Live icons. When an user hits them, I should be able to popup the share status task with either Facebook or Twitter or Live pre-selected.
If they are not configured, I would show an error message probably to configure it in their device (under settings -> accounts).
Is there any code or inbuilt functionality available in Mango to access these ?
Unfortunately there is no way available to further customize it.
When you use ShareStatusTask (or some other similar tasks like ShareLinkTask), the control completely goes to the Operating System and we have nothing to do with.
If we really want to customize, we have to go for our own implementations using some third party libraries like Hammock or Twitterizer for Twitter and Facebook c# SDK for facebook.
Even with a little disadvantage, I would suggest to use ShareStatusTask for simple implementations, unless you need some picture sharing etc.
I'm building an aggregator for Twitter and Facebook. Via my website users should be able to grant the app access to their Facebook and Twitter profile.
Then, my C# app will, at regular intervals, check the networks (or stream from) for new posts/likes/tweets related to that user and store the result in a database. I will not use Facebook and Twitter as an identity provider for my website.
Now my question: what library should I use best to accomplish the connection with the social networks? Can I use dotnetopenauth for this? Or are there better solutions?
I should also be able to extend the library and add whatever social network later on.
It is probably a very basic question, but I get confused due to all the possible libraries and options. I tweaked a small and simple OAuth class to connect to Twitter, but this was only capably of OAuth 1.0...
Yes, DotNetOpenAuth can help you with this. But you might want to double check the Facebook terms of service, as I thought they forbade any persistence of the data you download from them.
It is indeed possible to do so with DotNetOpenAuth, I know this because I am working on something similar. Already have it working like a charm with Twitter, working on the Facebook link at the moment. Seems like Facebook is going to give me more trouble then I expected at first.
I am creating a small desktop application, which would ideally allow multiple facebook users to log in. After they play a game (on one machine), I'd like to be able to individually post their status to their Facebook accounts. This is possible if there is just a single user, but multiple users are causing problems with Sessions and so on. Can anyone advise a way to get around this? Thanks!
To better answer your question, it would help to know how exactly you're connecting to Facebook from your game software.
In general, if you're using OAuth tokens to do it, try keeping separate sets of access tokens and pass along each one when appropriate.
