HELP - [AGSFeatureLayer addFeatures] doesn't use token authentication

I'm accessing a secured ArcGIS feature layer. The feature layer definitely works, because I can access and display its features. I create the feature layer like so:

NSURL *featureURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://server/ArcGIS/rest/services/SeMAPS-GEO/FeatureServer/0"];
    AGSCredential *myCredential = [[[AGSCredential alloc] initWithUser:@"username" password:@"password" authenticationType:AGSAuthenticationTypeToken tokenUrl:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://server/ArcGIS/tokens"]] autorelease];
    featureLayer= [AGSFeatureLayer featureServiceLayerWithURL:featureURL mode:AGSFeatureLayerModeOnDemand credential:myCredential];

And I can view the features on an AGSMapView, etc., and authentication is working.

The problem comes when it's time to add a new feature:

featureLayer.editingDelegate = self;
    AGSFeatureTemplate *template = [[featureLayer templates] objectAtIndex:0];
    AGSGraphic *feature = [featureLayer createFeatureWithTemplate:template];
    AGSMutablePolygon *poly = [[[AGSMutablePolygon alloc] initWithSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference spatialReferenceWithWKID:3857]] autorelease];
    [poly addRingToPolygon];
    [poly addPointToRing:[mapView toMapPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0)]];
    [poly addPointToRing:[mapView toMapPoint:CGPointMake(0,50)]];
    [poly addPointToRing:[mapView toMapPoint:CGPointMake(100, 100)]];
    feature.geometry = poly;
    [featureLayer addFeatures:[NSArray arrayWithObject:feature]];

This returns back an "Unauthorized access."

A little WireShark sniffing shows this as what's being sent to the server:

f=json&features=[{"geometry":{"spatialReference":{"wkid":3857},"rings":[[[-10550558,3831481.531450578],[-10550558,3831394.240051348],[-10550383.41720154,3831306.948652118]]]},"attributes":{"perimeter":null,"n_dpoints":null,"centerlong":null,"volume":null,"dateupdated":null,"size":null,"projectid":null,"meandepth":null,"datecreated":null,"maxdepth":null,"wateruse":null,"waterlevel":null,"centerlat":null,"name":null}}]

Notice what's missing? No token! Well obviously without a token it's going to be unauthorized access!

How do I get the addFeatures method to use a token for authentication?

Thanks for reporting, we'll look into this.

This is indeed an issue. It will be fixed in the next release of the API which is due out shortly.
