We've managed app authentication a few ways, depending on whether the end-user needs to be aware of the authentication or not.

In some cases, we've used django-jsonrpc (sends username and password with each request, no session cookies) and for others, we've used piston with basic authentication and ASIHTTPRequest.

Currently, we are looking at tastypie, piston is currently bogged down with a who will maintain it and where debate.
