Thank you for the answer, that's what I understood (Instagram quotes xauth under their formulars actually).
The thing is I built an OAuth provider for a service (based on the oauth-php library) it works well for our websites on PC/iphone and keitai (japanese handset) and we are now wanting to develop some native iPhone apps able to connect not only with our service but also with twitter (or/and others) for example, a la instagram. Using a webview is of course possible but the xauth is more elegant I think for the users in our case. Thank you again for the answer it clarified what I thought. Now I have to adapt my oauth provider for xauth (I already found some leads but not so much things about that on the net yet.).
