Facebook authentication in an application using Azure

1
Good afternoon, I'm new here and I'm on a project to create a hybrid application (Android and IOS), we're in the beginning and do not understand Android programming - let's learn while we do the project - so far we have only defined we will use Microsoft Azure.

We think of entering Facebook authentication as a login form, but we need to analyze the user's personal information (gender) and, if it is true, to allow access. That is, we want to make it possible for only women to create an account in the application and for this we think of initially using Facebook. Of course this does not eliminate the possibility of creating fake accounts, but at first it would be a reasonable solution.

So I'd like to know if it's possible to perform this "filter" using Facebook profile information and whether this should be implemented soon enough or it's best to base the application first.

The documentation for Facebook for Developers is quite complete to do what you need.

See here all about Login to Facebook , from logging into iOS and Android apps, to websites and more .

It is important to consider that you will only have the user's gender information after you have authenticated it in your application. Then:

  • The user logs into your application with Facebook;
  • Your application allows you to navigate the app using your genre as a filter.
  • I believe that the gender is part of basic login information, but you can customize what information you need to be required to complete the login. Recommendation: The less you ask for information, the better.
