ILocalUser.Authenticate

Parameters

Description

Authenticate the local user to the current active Social API implementation and fetch their profile data.

This should be done before any other calls into the API. Depending on the platform, this might trigger a potentially blocking dialog for providing login details.

On certain platforms (including but not limited to iOS and tvOS), the callback is only invoked on the first call to Authenticate(). Subsequent calls to Authenticate() on such platforms results in no callback being triggered. This can occur if, for example, the user or the OS cancels the authentication operation before it has completed. Please ensure you test for this situation.

				Debug.Log(userInfo);
			}

				Debug.Log("Authentication failed");
