Android: Upgrade scribejava-apis dependency

[octohedron]

My app is crashing with a custom provider, it shouldn't though because it follows the spec.

It's mostly happening because of issues solved in newer versions of the scribejava-apis dependency, have you considered upgrading?

This is crashing my Android application, as you can see it cannot parse a response that doesn't follow the '"error"\s*:\s*"(\S*?)"' format.

Apparently the cause is that it's making a GET request to the /token endpoint instead of a POST request as specified in the oauth 2.0 spec.

Is there a way to change this to a POST request without having to fork and upgrade etc?

Experiencing the same problem, did you find a way to solve it?

@appfr3d Actually, yes I did solve it, solution was to fork this whole project and rewrite most of it, also had to fork the scribejava dependencies and change a lot of the code there in all their submodules, and it's not even a gradle project, so good luck with that.

Unfortunately, I don't own the code I wrote so I cannot share it, but consider you will have to spend quite a bit of time debugging and developing fixes for this, since you'll need to learn what the code does and where it's failing, then write the new implementations, etc.
