SAP Cloud Platform iOS SDK Onboarding with Basic Authentication

This blog post shows how to setup the onboarding flow for an iOS Application with the SAP Cloud Platform iOS SDK using Basic Authentication, Passcode and Touch ID protection.

The onboarding flow includes the following screens and features:

1. Welcome screen
2. Login screen where the user provides his username and password on the first app start
3. Passcode screen where the user creates a passcode after his first login
4. Touch ID enablement screen where the user decides if he wants to enable Touch ID after specifying his passcode
5. Passcode screen where the user can authenticate with Touch ID or passcode.

The user needs to enter his login credentials on the first app start which will be stored in the secure Apple Keychain.

Screen flow

Prerequisites

Hana Trial Account (https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/)

SAP Cloud Platform iOS SDK Assistant (https://store.sap.com/sap/cp/ui/resources/store/html/SolutionDetails.html?pid=0000014485)

XCode IDE (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12)

Finished application

A version of the finished application (without the SAP Cloud Platform iOS SDK Framework files) you can find on Github (https://github.com/walde1024/iOS-on-boarding-sample)

Prepare Project

Start the SAP Cloud Platform iOS SDK Assistant and click on the + Button to add a new application.

Specify the project attributes and click on Next.

 

Click on the account drop down and select Add new account.

 

Enter you account credentials and press Save.

The Admin API URL looks like the following:
https://hcpmsadmin-d056936trial.hanatrial.ondemand.com (Replace d056936trial with your own username)

 

Create a new application with basic authentication. Enter therefore the application name, identifier and select Basic Authentication for the authentication type. Press Next.

 

Press Add to add the sample backend.

Specify the following URL as backend URL: https://hcpms-d056936trial.hanatrial.ondemand.com/SampleServices/ESPM.svc

Don’t forget to replace the d056936trial with your own username. Press OK.

 

 

Press Finish.

 

After that the iOS project will be generated and opened in the XCode IDE.

Now you can run the application and authenticate yourself. After that you will see some screens with the sample data from the sample OData Service.

 

If you need more information about how to setup a project with the iOS SDK Assistant you can checkout the mobile interactive tutorials (https://www.sap.com/germany/developer/tutorial-navigator/mobile-interactive-tutorials.html)

Implementing on boarding flow

Extend storyboard

Create a new UIViewController which will be the new starting point of the iOS application. This UIViewController will be responsible for the onboarding flow.
Therefore create a Cocoa Touch Class named OnBoardingViewController in the ViewControllers Group.

 

Now open the Main storyboard and add a new ViewController to the storyboard which uses the OnBoardingViewController class which you have created in the previous step.

 

Embed the OnBoardingViewController in a navigation controller and set it as main entry point of the application.

 

Add three storyboard references to the Main storyboard.

 

Specify the following attributes on the Attributes Inspector Tab for the Storyboard references:

1. FUIWelcomeScreen:Storyboard: FUIWelcomeScreen
   Bundle: com.sap.cp.sdk.ios.SAPFiori
2. FUIPasscodeCreateControllerStoryBoard: FUIPasscodeCreateController
   Bundle: com.sap.cp.sdk.ios.SAPFiori
3. FUIPasscodeInputControllerStoryBoard: FUIPasscodeInputController
   Bundle: com.sap.cp.sdk.ios.SAPFiori

 

Setup 3 navigation segues from the OnBoardingViewController to the storyboard references which you have created in the previous step with the following attributes:

1. Segue from OnBoardingViewController to FUIWelcomeScreen
   Identifier: showFUIWelcomeScreen
   Kind: Show
2. Segue from OnBoardingViewController to FUIPasscodeCreateController
   Identifier: showCreatePasscodeScreen
   Kind: Show
3. Segue from OnBoardingViewController to FUIPasscodeInputController
   Identifier: showFUIPasscodeInput
   Kind: Show

Don’t forget to uncheck the Animates checkbox for the showFUIWelcomeScreen segue.

 

Embed the BasicAuthViewController in a navigation controller and set the title in the navigation bar.

 

Create a Show segue from the OnBoardingViewController to the BasicAuthViewController and name it showLoginScreen.

 

Add a cancel button to the navigation bar of the BasicAuthViewController.

 

Specify an action for the cancel button in the BasicAuthViewController with the following implementation:

@IBAction func onCancel(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
	dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

 

The storyboard is now ready to handle the on boarding process.

Implement Onboarding

Create a Swift file named KeychainUtils.swfit in the Utils Group of the project. This is a helper class which is responsible for storing the user credentials in the keychain.

Copy and paste the following code into the file:

Create a new group named OnBoarding. This group will contain all onboarding related source files which we are going to create in the next steps.

 

Create a file named AppLogonHelper.swift in the OnBoarding Group. This file will contain a class with the logic to manage the user credentials with the keychain.

Copy and paste the following code into the AppLogonHelper.swift file.

For the onboarding flow we are using two view controllers from the iOS SDK. The first is the FUIWelcomeController and the second is the FUIPasscodeController. To handle events which are occurring on these view controller we need to provide two delegates which will do the work.

Therefore create a file named WelcomeControllerDelegate.swift in the OnBoarding group and paste the code below into it.

This delegate handles the events of the welcome screen which shows a login button. After pressing the login button the shouldContinueUserOnboarding method is called where the delegate decides which screen needs to be presented to the user. This depends on whether user credentials are already stored in the keychain. If this is the case then the next screen will be the FUIPasscodeController otherwise the BasicAuthViewController will be presented to the user.

XCode will complain that the OnBoardingViewController does not have methods which are called showPasscodeInputScreen or showLoginScreen. This can be ignored since we will create and implement them in the next steps.

        }
    }
    
    private func showLoadingIndicator() {
        if let welcomeController = welcomeController {
            if self.loadingIndicator == nil {
                let indicator = FUILoadingIndicatorView(frame: welcomeController.view.frame)
                indicator.text = "Logging in..."
                self.loadingIndicator = indicator
            }
            let indicator = self.loadingIndicator!
            
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                welcomeController.view.addSubview(indicator)
                indicator.show()
            }
        }
    }
    
    private func hideLoadingIndicator() {
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            guard let loadingIndicator = self.loadingIndicator else {
                return
            }
            loadingIndicator.dismiss()
            loadingIndicator.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }
    
}

 

The second delegate we need is the delegate for the FUIPasscodeController. Create a file named PasscodeControllerDelegate in the OnBoarding group and paste the code below into it. 

This delegate handles the events of the FUIPasscodeController which is responsible for creating and evaluating the passcode of an user. The shoudTryPasscode method is called when the user enters a passcode. Depending on whether the user is creating a passcode or not this method stores the user credentials in the keychain or checks if the passcode is matching the stored passcode in the keychain. If the passcode is already stored and matches the passcode in the keychain the delegate performs a basic authentication and navigates the user to the home screen of the application.

Now we need to create a service class which contains an instance of the ESPMContainerDataAccess class to provide online data access. Also the service class will contain the logic to perform the basic authentication. 

Create a file named ESPMService.swift in the Model group and paste the code below into it.

The performBasicAuthentication method creates an instance of a SAPURLSession and performs an get request against the configured endpoint which is defined in the Constants.swift file. The authentication challenge is handled by the ESPMService instance which acts as SAPURLSessionDelegate. After successful authentication we set the SAPURLSession class attribute to the SAPURLSession we created in the performBasicAuthentication method. This triggers the didSet listener of the urlSession attribute and creates a new instance of the ESPMContainerDataAccess class which we will use for data access.

Now we need to extend the OnBoardingViewController class with the missing methods which are used by the PasscodeControllerDelegate and the WelcomeControllerDelegate.

Therefore copy and paste the code below into the OnBoardingViewController.swift file.

The OnBoardingViewController does not contain much logic since it’s main reason is to handle the navigation between the FUIPasscodeController, WelcomeController and the HomeScreen of the application.

After pasting the code you will see an issue in the OnBoardingViewController which says that the protocol BasicAuthViewControllerDelegate is undeclared. We will resolve this issue in the next step.

To resolve the issue with the undeclared BasicAuthViewControllerDelegate we need to adjust the BasicAuthViewController.swift file. Therefore we need to create the BasicAuthViewControllerDelegate protocol and add a method to register a delegate of this type.

You can find the updated code of the BasicAuthViewController.swift file below. Just copy and paste it into yours.

Since we have changed the app flow we need to adjust the AppDelegate class which is currently responsible for the navigation during the application start, log upload and the registration for push messages. Also the the AppDelegate provides an instance of the ESPMContainerDataAccess class which is used by the view controllers to fetch data from the OData service. Since we handle the initial navigation with the storyboard and the only thing we are interested in is to provide an instance of the ESPMContainerDataAccess class we can simplify the AppDelegate a lot.

Replace you AppDelegate implementation with the code below.

//
// AppDelegate.swift
// iOS-on-boarding
//
// Created by SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS Assistant application on 18/07/17
//

import SAPFiori
import SAPFoundation
import SAPCommon
import UserNotifications

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UISplitViewControllerDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

    private let logger = Logger.shared(named: "AppDelegateLogger")
    var espmContainer: ESPMContainerDataAccess! {
        get {
            return ESPMService.shared.espmContainer
        }
    }

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ application: UIApplication) {
        UINavigationBar.applyFioriStyle()
    }
    
    // MARK: - Split view
    
    func splitViewController(_ splitViewController: UISplitViewController, collapseSecondary secondaryViewController: UIViewController, onto primaryViewController: UIViewController) -> Bool {
        guard let secondaryAsNavController = secondaryViewController as? UINavigationController else { return false }
        guard let topAsMasterController = secondaryAsNavController.topViewController as? MasterViewController else { return false }
        // Without this, on iPhone the main screen is the detailview and the masterview can not be reached.
        if (topAsMasterController.collectionType == .none) {
            // Return true to indicate that we have handled the collapse by doing nothing; the secondary controller will be discarded.
            return true
        }
        
        return false
    }
    
}

 

The onboarding flow is finished now and you can run the application.
