I’m doing a JSON WebService backend for an iPhone application. Is there any best practice or existing frameworks (I use Python) to handle authentication and keeping a session between requests? I guess you use some form of ticket system because you can’t use regular sessions like with web browsers?
You should definitely go for Oauth.
Have a look to the gtm-oauth library, it allows Cocoa applications to sign in to services using OAuth for authentication and authorization and it works with Google APIs and with any standard OAuth provider.
