Hi ! Does someone know a framework for working as a client of Oauth2 service, handling the eventual login webview for us ? I'm targetting Linux, Windows and Android. I've seen thread https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3PQML5NU/p1688805476894279, but I'm not sure it fits in my use case.

as my reply there says, don't use web views for that. at the very least, Google is blocking them
they have docs on how to set up a desktop app's oauth, you're expected to use an external (system) browser

Thank you. So I think all I have to do is to launch an intent on Android, and to call an external application on Desktop. Is it right ?

[ephemient]

on Android you'd be better off with Google's auth sdk

[loloof64]

Ok. Can it be used for another service that Google (Dropbox for example) ?

[ephemient]

probably not

[loloof64]

That's a pity. Thank you anyway 🙂

[loloof64]

Is there an alternative to Oauth2 in order to connect to a storage service like Dropbox ? I mean is there a way to overcome the limitation on Android ?

[ephemient]

that's up to whatever API Dropbox provides

There's an SDK for Java https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java. But it's not clear to me if it is compatible with Compose Multiplatform. Specially the desktop platforms.
