LinkedIn iOS

There's no working LinkedIn iOS library out there. How about that, uh ? So we extracted this, from a current project we are working on.

Some facts :

• You must use ARC
• No dependencies, it uses NSUrlConnection for the http requests and NSXmlParser for the xml parsing
• For now, it only allows you to sign in and fetch user first and last name, and also its profile picture url
• There's still plenty to be done, but it works for simple needs such as mine were

How to use ?

It's pretty straightforward.

1. Declare an app to LinkedIn
2. Copy the content of LinkedInIos-sample/LinkedInIos-sample/LinkedIn into your project
3. In your .plist, input the 3 mandatories values
4. In your view controller, add the <LISignInDelegate> (add this : #import "LISignIn.h")
5. Implement - (void)finishedLIAuthentificationWithError:(NSError *)error;
6. ???
7. Profit !

Look at the code in the ViewControllerclass of the sample project for more details on step 6. Step 7 is optionnal, but recommended.
