Hi, all. We are using the SmugMug API to develop an iPhone app for a client. The app needs to upload photos to our client's SmugMug account. However, the app's end user will not have login information for this account. i.e. We want to hard-code a specific account into the app.

Could you suggest a way to obtain/store an OAuth authorized request token (or an OAuth access token directly) without requiring the end user to provide login information? If this is not possible, what are people's thoughts on using the deprecated smugmug.login functions?

I'd use the login with hash method if it's not too far depreciated. This way, the login info isn't in plain sight in the code.
