Microsoft Graph is the access point to many Microsoft APIs (Office 365, Outlook.com, Excel Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Skype, etc...) and unlocks many scenarios like editing Office documents stored in OneDrive from an app, accessing user and organization data, interact with mail, calendar and presence, receiving a call when something change on a file, directory, calendar item, and so on. In this session we'll see how to interact with Microsoft Graph from many cross-platform technologies, both client side (i.e. Xamarin) and server side.

// C#
var user = await graphServiceClient.Me.Request().GetAsync();

});
// Obj-C

NSError *error){
// Do something…
}];

- 30. App Registration
- 31. Register your app to use the Microsoft Graph • Every app must (v1) • be registered in an Azure Active Directory tenant • declare in advance that it will access the Microsoft Graph • declare in advance all of the permission scopes it needs for the Microsoft Graph • Every app must (v2) • be registered in the Application Registration Portal (https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/) “Spend most of your time building the parts of your app that add value and differentiate it from the crowd.” – Application Registration Portal https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/italy/2016/04/19/azure-ad-single-sign-on-in-una-web-app-multi-tenant- con-openid-connect-e-adal/
- 33. Microsoft Graph SDK (target the /v1.0 branch) • Decoupled for easy authentication integration • Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) – old - • Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) • etc…

- 36. PCL Profile 7 • MSAL doesn’t support WP8 • When creating Xamarin Apps we’ve to change default PCL profile: • Default is 111 • Edit the Project file
- 37. Android deployment • If you’ve problems with Android: • Turn off Fast Deployment
- 38. Android emulator configuration • Enable x-machine CPU support in Hyper-V
