There's no "Other" for "Application type" when creating OAuth Client ID

@Kyle-Law I just ran into this myself and saw an answer on Stack Overflow that it's now called "Desktop app" in the Application type drop down.

I followed the same steps using "Desktop app" instead of "Other" and it worked when creating a valid OAuth 2.0 Client ID. My use-case was for a command line app which triggered the 'go to this URL, allow and then paste in the token' steps in the CLI.

I just tried with desktop app and doesn't work for me, I get:

Error 400: invalid_request

You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.

You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules.

If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies. redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
