GooglePlus Authentication in Windows Phone 8.1

Question

I am writing a Windows Phone 8.1 App (WINRT). How to do GooglePlus Authentication (SignIn via GooglePlus) in Windows Phone 8.1 App** without using MVVM/MVC**?

I used Web Authentication via Webbrowser control in Windows Phone 8.0 App but Windows Phone 8.1 WebView Control does not have Navigating event.

Can anyone help me?

            string facebookUserName = value.GetNamedString("name");


        }
    }
}

But giving me error: The remote procedure call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE)

I'd start with WebAuthenticationBroker. It's a sort of wrapper around WebView you use for all OAuth.
