    The log clearly shows the data send the json reply received.

    The PHP code given shows that it looks for username ‘andrei’, but the username send is ‘username’.

    For me is not working. It is not posting data. I’ve download the entire project from the link and is not posting data. Can you please help me?

  5. Dipin Krishna

    If you are going to return something like this:

    {"success":true}

    Then you can use the following code:

    NSNumber * success = (NSNumber *)[response objectForKey: @"success"];
if([success boolValue] == YES)
{
    // true
} else {
    // false
}

    Great script. However I am going to be connecting to API that returns True false to the JSON request. I am trying to change code to reflect this. Any suggestions?

    Any help would be amazing

    hye, i need you die and suggestion,

    i have tried this tutorial to adapt my apps which to allow user to check their member card application status, sadly i can’t use it effectively.

    i need an apps example that user will insert their application number thru mobile, and they will get the status of their application.

    database mySQL. – storing users application status.

    HI Dipin, amazing guide!
    I’ve downloaded the code but when I try to simulate to any kind of device I got the error
    xcode cannot run using the selected device
    chose a destination with a supported architecture in order to run on this device.

    My developer profile is expired but I don’t think it is a problem for running the app on simulator.
    I’ve try looking at
    Build Settings > Build Options > Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C (LLVM)
    and
    Bundle Name = ${PRODUCT_NAME}
    Executable file = ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
    but still doesn’t work.
    Any idea?
    thank you
    Matteo

    Both of them result in a connection failed. I really need this to work, please help me!

  16. Dipin Krishna

    Hm, lets try.
    Can you check the response for a successful and an unsuccessful login, see if the page redirects for any one of them.
    If the page ‘redirects’ to another page after successful authentication, then in the app we can check to see if the page is redirecting when trying to authenticate.

  21. Ibrahim Chiha

    I read all of your comments, and some had the same issue. Can you please tell me how to grab authentication code from a website and how to use them to check if I had correctly logged in? I know I’m asking for too much, but it would really help me if you replied!

  22. Ibrahim Chiha

    Hi Dipin,
    Love the tutorial very helpful but there’s one thing I need and it’s not working for me 🙁
    I am developing an app for my school, where it uses a website with a login username and password. I was trying to make a login and username ViewController and take the user’s input and plug it in the HTML, and then opens a UIWebView and logs in with those credentials. Can you please help me? I need to submit this app to my school as soon as possible.

  23. Si

    Thanks, it appears I was not connected. I just needed to let it connect, give it a few minutes and then start.

  25. Si

    This tutorial works fine for the simulator, I can send data to and form the php page fine. But when I run it on my iPhone, it is unresponsive and then says “Login Failed! Connection Failed”.

    In Xcode it says in the debugger the response code is 0 and “the request timed out.”. Why would the simulator be fine and the phone not? Please help!

  27. Eric McCarthy

    This is a very helpful tutorial. Do you plan on making one for xcode 6/ swift?

  29. Marlow Fernandez

    Everything works great. The code was amazing and I thank you for that. I have only one question. How would a person use a “signup” button to save the information to the file? Or would it have to be to a “database” of some sort?

  32. Louis

    Alright will try tomorrow but thank you very much you have helped me greatly

  33. Dipin Krishna

    Copy over the authentication code from your actual login page, and see my sample php code to get an idea on what to return.

  35. Dipin Krishna

    🙂
    The app is expecting a JSON response.
    If possible, create a new url to process the requests from the app, and return a JSON response.

  36. Louis

    I’m not sure as I have only just stated to learn code and I am not experienced however I copied the code about json data and put in the URL and it sent me back to the same page so I assume so

  38. Louis

    Yeah the app use to crash on signing then I defined the signin correctly and now it comes up saying sign in failed but doesn’t crash the app and the URL is vle.biltonschool.co.uk

  42. Louis

    I am trying to log on to my schools vle, I am entering my login and password which is correct however it won’t let me log in it comes up sign in failed

  44. John

    Hi dipin, great tutorial two queries we are having our app developed
    Firstly could our developers use your code for our one time login for users in our app.
    Secondly if thousands of users were login too our app where would we access all there data from, will our developers need to link our app to our website and what security can be put in place to secure users details

    Thanks
    John

  45. James

    Ahh got it now i corrected the mistake and now it works good however when i enter the correct username and password it comes up sign in failed (i am trying to log onto my schools vle)

  46. Dipin Krishna

    Hi,

    Can you make sure ‘signinClicked’ is defined, if so, please paste here the code which is calling ‘signinClicked’.

    If you had copied the code from tutorial, i think i have made a typo “sigininClicked”.

    Thanks.

  47. Dipin Krishna

    You can use NSUserDefaults.

    Saving:

    NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
 
// saving an NSString
[prefs setObject:@"TEXT" forKey:@"keyToLookup"];
 
// saving an NSInteger
[prefs setInteger:99 forKey:@"integerKey"];
 
// saving a Double
[prefs setDouble:1.234 forKey:@"doubleKey"];
 
// saving a Float
[prefs setFloat:1.2345678 forKey:@"floatKey"];
 
[prefs synchronize];

    Retrieving:

    NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
 
// getting an NSString
NSString *myString = [prefs stringForKey:@"keyToLookup"];
 
// getting an NSInteger
NSInteger myInt = [prefs integerForKey:@"integerKey"];
 
// getting an Float
float myFloat = [prefs floatForKey:@"floatKey"];

    This is an awesome tutorial! Is there a way to save username/password information so the user only has to login on first launch? Thanks!

  49. James

    hello, i have changed the website url to the one i want however when i enter the correct login username and password it crashes and says thread 1 signal SIGABRT then when i go to the debug area is says this:
