I am developing for WP8.1 and probably will port on other platforms.
I want to integrate a OneDrive functionality, however, I can't understand what is the difference between LiveSDK
(from NuGet packages) and OneDrive
API.
It seems that Microsoft
does not communicate at all regarding that, I really don't understand why. As far as I understood, the LiveSDK
is the old one and will be replaced by OneDrive API
, but the LiveSDK
seems so much simpler to use that I can't understand their logic... On top of that both have been updated recently (in April for the LiveSDK
).
So my question is
- As long as my app has not been published yet, should I move to
OneDrive API
, or keep on theLiveSDK
? - Does anyone has already tried both?
- What are the limitations and benefits of both?
Based on a future-proof sight, I will go for the OneDrive API
, but my main concern is:
Is is possible to login as easily on OneDrive API
than with the Live SDK
? (Working temporary solution below)
For now, I have been able to login with the LiveSDK
using a single button and three lines of code, no user input required at all, where the AuthenticateAndContinue
method used by the OneDrive API
opens a Webcontrol and requires to enter manually the login and password.
At the end I have used the LiveSDK
Authentication and use the access token provided with the OneDrive API
. It is not a clean approach from my point of view, but I couldn't manage to get the AuthenticateAndContinue
method to work (I get a 404 error answer after the login).
If anybody has a better solution, I am opened to suggestions :)
