Xamarin.Auth is a component you can use when developing Xamarin clients that authenticate with common OAuth proviers like Twitter, Facebook, etc. This component can also be used with ServiceStack OAuth providers by creating a wrapper for the WebAuthenticator.
var ssAuth = new ServiceStackAuthenticator(
MainActivity.BaseUrl,
"twitter", jsonServiceClient =>
{
var userDetails = jsonServiceClient.Get(new GetUserDetails());
return new Account(userDetails.UserName, jsonServiceClient.CookieContainer);
