Basic understanding of OneDrive for Business

I'd like to offer OneDrive for Business access to my users but I have the feeling that I'm missing something obvious.

I have created an application at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/#/appList and it's working great with OneDrive. It looks like Live SDK is already "legacy" (and doesn't seem to work with OneDrive for Business), that's why I've created a new application at that website and it now has a longer id with this format 00000000-0000-0000-00000000000000000 instead of the old one 0000000000000000.

Now I'd like to use that application id with [ODClient setActiveDirectoryAppId:<applicationId> redirectURL:<redirectURL>]. But I'm having trouble to make it work, see #150 (comment).

In the README, it says that I have to use the application id from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. This confuses me. How am I able to offer OneDrive for Business for all of my users? They're all in different organizations. I can't just tell them that they all have to create an application in their Azure portal. Or do I (as an app developer) need an Azure account? If yes, what do I have to do in Azure?

Okay, at least I understand now that I can't get more information on https://dev.onedrive.com/app-registration.htm because it has been changed for Microsoft Graph.

Here are the old instructions: http://web.archive.org/web/20170129095138/https://dev.onedrive.com/app-registration.htm

I've created an application on Azure but now I'm getting this error: Application with identifier '…' was not found in the directory <…>.onmicrosoft.com.

My question is: How do I make OneDrive for Business available for all users of all organizations?

Or should I just give up and switch to Microsoft Graph?

Okay, I guess I used the wrong Microsoft account because I had to associate Office 365 with Active Directory. I was already wondering why I couldn't add "Office 365 SharePoint Online" permissions and only Microsoft Graph.

Now I'm still not sure that this method works with all organizations but I sure hope so. At least I've read here that "all native client applications are multi-tenant by default".

And what happens if my Office 365 trial expires? Still figuring out other bugs right now but I hope the authentication works... 🤞

Edit: I really can't figure out why I'm getting errors for requesting the directory listing of root.

OneDrive SDK ERROR : Error from data task : Error Domain=com.microsoft.onedrive.errors Code=404 "not found" UserInfo={error= itemNotFound : The requested resource is being automatically provisioned. Please try again in a few minutes., NSLocalizedDescription=not found}
OneDrive SDK ERROR : Caused by request <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x60800000c520> { URL: https://<REDACTED>-my.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/me/drive/items/root/children }

I've already waited some hours and it didn't change anything.

Couldn't figure it out. It isn't worth the effort to try it with this SDK. If someone else is stumbling upon this issue: Just switch to Microsoft Graph! https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-ios

Cost me around 5.5h. Fortunately, MSGraphSDK is quite similar to OneDriveSDK.
