Account manager integration - Android vs iOS

Question

I am Android developer, but I need to answer to some questions regarding what is possible with other platforms and I wonder what iOS offers that is comparable to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html. I found https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Accounts/Reference/ACAccountClassRef/Reference/Reference.html but I can not understand the full range off possibilities.

Questions:

• How Account Manager used in iOS??
• In Android it is possible to share tokens for a service, does iOS have the same feature
• Is there a centralized API or is this solved app-2-app?
• Are there any security concepts available connected to this (restrict access to tokens to certain apps and so on)

Happy for short and quick responses! // Jonas

Answer 1

There is not AccountManager type feature available in iOS. Yo need to add and implement Setting.bundle for your preferences as similar account manager will do in Android. Please check this links:
