Here is the solution.

NOTE: You would be needing an intermediate server for that.

• Step 01. Download PHP yahoo framework http://github.com/yahoo/yos-social-php
• Step 02. Start WAMP/XAMPP server.
• Step 03. Obtain URL
  • example - http://10.0.0.76/iOS/yos-social-php-master/sample/sampleapp.php
• Step 04. Get back to XCode project.
• Step 05. Open XIB, Put a button for Yahoo & connect IBAction method.
• Step 06. In IBAction method, navigate to obtained URL from iOS App to URL. See Code Block 1
• Step 07. Add method in AppDelegate.m for handling redirection from Server to your mobile App. See Code Block 2
• Step 08. Make sure your app is capable handling Redirection. Open your project-info.plist as source-code & make sure you have valid URL types, URL identifier & URL Schemes. as indicated in Code Block 3
• Step 09. Now your mobile app is ready for redirection from server.
• Step 10. Open yourLocalServer/iOS/yos-social-php-master/sample/sampleapp.php file. (https://github.com/yahoo/yos-social-php/blob/master/sample/sampleapp.php)
• Step 11. Comment code from 97 to 106.
• Step 12. Put code as indicated in Code Block 4
• Step 13. Run your project, Click on button from iOS App.
• Step 14. App will navigate to your site-page. Site page will do the authentication & get the profile details.
• Step 15. As soon as authentication is done, site-page will redirect back to your-mobile-app with details like - Gender, Full name, date of birth, guid, profile picture url etc.

Summary

Mobile App navigates to Server -> Server manages authentication via OAuth-php. Once authenticated Server retrieves profile details & server indicates safari to navigate back to - your-mobile-App. Your-mobile-app gets all details in Code Block

Code Block 1

- (IBAction)connectYahoo:(id)sender {
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] 
           openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:
           @"http://yourLocalServer/iOS/yos-social-php-master/sample/sampleapp.php"
      ]];
}

Code Block 2

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
        openURL:(NSURL *)url
   sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
     annotation:(id)annotation {

    if([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"com.yourcompany.app.fsq"]) {
        return [self.obj_LoginHomeVCtr.foursquare handleOpenURL:url];
    } else if([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"com.yourcompany.app.googleplus"]){
        return [GPPURLHandler handleURL:url
                  sourceApplication:sourceApplication
                         annotation:annotation];

    }else if([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"fb188315544652080"]){
        return [FBAppCall handleOpenURL:url
                  sourceApplication:sourceApplication
                    fallbackHandler:^(FBAppCall *call) {
                        NSLog(@"In fallback handler");
                    }];
    } else if ([[url scheme] isEqualToString:@"com.yourcompany.app.yahoo"]){
        STLog(@"URL is %@",url);
        return YES;
    }
    return YES;
}
