Evernote accounts using "Continue with Google" cannot use SDK to authenticate

Open agiletortoise opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Evernote users which use a linked Google account to authenticate with the Evernote service (via "Continue with Google" can no longer authenticate using the Evernote SDK's authentication process.

Because the SDK uses the deprecated UIWebView to present the authentication flow (see also issue #170 regarding pending App Store rejection over the use of UIWebView), when redirected to Google to sign in using the "Continue with Google" button, the user will receive a "403 Error: disallowed_useragent" message the authentication process will be halted.

Additionally, Google provides the message:

Google can't sign you in safely inside this app. You can use Google sign-in by visiting this app's website in a browser like Safari or Chrome.

It is not possible to do so as part of the OAuth process, however.
