Support for Chrome App OAuth2

Open godd9170 opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I'm trying to use the chrome.identity api to authenticate within a chrome extension. The only way to use chrome.identity however, is to register a chrome app as opposed to a standard web application like this: credentials_-_shakespeare-dev

Unfortunately this type of registration doesn't give you a client secret, which appears to be a requirement in the docs here.

oauth_client_-_shakespeare-dev

VS.

oauth_client_-_shakespeare-dev

Is it even possible to oauth2 without a client secret?

I'm not familiar with Chrome App authentication flow, but if it's close to OAuth2, it shouldn't be hard to implement by ignoring the some fields, there's any docs regarding this flow?
