Query for username in Salesforce iOS SDK

Question

I have an iOS app using the latest Salesforce iOS SDK. It authenticates users through a webview using oAuth2.0 on the Salesforce site so I do not capture the username in my app

Answer 1

FOR SWIFT

To display full name and chatter profile picture of logged in user in UILabel and UIImageView using Salesforce Mobile SDK 4 you need to first create @IBOutlets

@IBOutlet weak var yourtextLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var profileImage: UIImageView!

Then all you need is the following in your viewDidLoad()

yourtextLabel.text = SFAuthenticationManager.sharedManager().idCoordinator.idData.displayName

let imageURL = SFAuthenticationManager.sharedManager().idCoordinator.idData.pictureUrl
let image =  UIImage(data: NSData(contentsOfURL: imageURL!)!)
profileImage.image = image

Answer 2

SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS 7.0

Swift Version

import SalesforceSDKCore

guard let userId = UserAccountManager.shared.currentUserAccountIdentity?.userId else {return}

Depends on what you need, this maybe helpful as well:

guard let userId = UserAccountManager.shared.currentUserAccount?.idData?.userId else {return}

Answer 3

I have no idea whether you use REST or SOAP API...

For REST there's an excellent article by metadaddy: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_at_Salesforce.com#The_Force.com_Identity_Service

Identity Service link is in format of /id/(organization id)/(user id), scroll up in this blog post a bit to find out when you should expect it.

SOAP API, offers getUserInfo() method (it returns an object similar to Apex UserInfo class). Just click the first link there to see the full list of methods you can call.

Answer 4

You need to import SFAuthenticationManager.h class

#import <SalesforceSDKCore/SFAuthenticationManager.h>

then you can get user details (first name, last name, email etc.) this way

NSLog(@"userData= %@",[SFAuthenticationManager sharedManager].idCoordinator.idData);

NSLog(@"first name = %@",[SFAuthenticationManager sharedManager].idCoordinator.idData.firstName);
NSLog(@"last name = %@",[SFAuthenticationManager sharedManager].idCoordinator.idData.lastName);
NSLog(@"email name = %@",[SFAuthenticationManager sharedManager].idCoordinator.idData.email);

Answer 5

username of current user is stored in SFIdentityData object

#import "SFIdentityData.h"

NSString *userName = [SFAccountManager sharedInstance].idData.username;
