Azure mobile service token expiration life

Here is my code that i am using for google authentication in xamarin forms development, after authentication i'm getting sid and token token, but token life is hardly 1 hour. Is there any way to increase the expiration time of token. If anybody knows please help me. Thank you in advance. 

var user = await DependencyService.Get<IAuthentication>()
                 .LoginAsync(azureService.MobileService, provider);
if (user == null)
    return;
else
{
    await GetCurrentUserDetail(provider, Settings.AuthToken);
}

You cannot increase the token life because it is tied to the token life of the Google id_token that is acquired by the mobile app backend during login. However, you do have the option to refresh this token so that you don't need to re-authenticate every hour. You can do so using the RefreshTokenAsync method in recent versions of the client SDK.
