    @aaronpk I was just reading your article https://goo.gl/IF9r2O which was helpful. Is using SafariViewController the only safe auth on iOS?

    @rogue__leader Thanks! That, or launching Safari or the service's native application. SafariViewController will provide the best UX.

      SafariViewController is the best of both worlds. Visible URL, no bouncing out of application, shared cookies.

      The problem with embedded WebView is users will have to type their password there anyway, since it doesn't share cookies

      Prior to SafariViewController, devs weren't willing to bounce ppl out of the app, the only other way to have a visible URL

      Awesome! I'm getting a lot of push back on the visible URL. I'm wondering how/why so many mobile apps don't show it. Thoughts?
