Happy to write an article on that. I initially built the website using Ruby on Rails and had twitter/facebook omniauth implemented.

It was then a simple case of displaying a web view in the app with login similar to how you would on the web, then diverting back to the app upon login.

awesome, what's your twitter handle or website? I was thinking the webview might be the simplest way to go. I wonder if you get any extra functionality by tying into iOS's facebook/twitter stuff? Might be easier for things like "post to facebook" and the like.

Yeh I think it would be easier eventually. I struggled trying to implement it though looking at objective-c. Its on my to-do list

I've found stuff like this https://github.com/aaronfeng/facebook-auth-ruby-motion-examp... but I haven't actually tried implementing anything yet.
