Courses Plus Student 6,341 PointsThat might be true but think of the situation my paying money to learn how to program in objective-c and write ios applications. And that you're telling me is someone already did that so go use it. Generally it's ok but this is user authentication we're talking about not a really good idea to not know what's in the code. For all I know the static library might have a send my info to a bogouse server sub routine that steals my user ID and such
Really bad mojo

42,016 PointsOauth is a trusted protocol used by sites like github, twitter, google...you get the idea. Every good developer reuses code and uses 3rd party libraries. You have no reason to be paranoid that OAuth is going to do anything shady. Its not.
I think rolling your own authentication system is a bit out of the scope of what treehouse courses offer. Being an iOS developer does not mean you have to write every piece of code yourself. You simply cant.

Courses Plus Student 6,341 Pointsits less the idea of using OAuth, more that it's really buging me is using a static library for OAuth, need i remind you heartbleed...

Courses Plus Student 6,341 PointsBut i can expect Treehouse to show me a relevant example, not to say use a static library that i have no idea who wrote.
And more important secure programming is something that's really hard to find out on the net , could been a good idea for a project

12,216 PointsThey shouldn't have to show you an example! You should be able to take the constructs of the language that you've learned so far and combine them with searches of the Apple reference docs and any other relevant docs to build whatever you want.

Courses Plus Student 6,341 PointsThen why sould I use their services becose news flash nothing that treehouse shows thus far is actully new or worth the money of the subscription. Could use itunesu course from Stanford would be cheaper.
