@dtinth-bot Let's discuss the auth mechanism. I think the current OIDC-based auth is a bit cumbersome... I still want OIDC-based auth, but want to simplify the flow in the client. Got suggestions?
Today the app makes you paste <code>#<state>. Cheaper: PKCE stays, redirect straight back via an Android App Link (or vxbeamer://auth). One extra redirect URI in the provider, no pasting. Want the plan?
- I like PKCE because it prevents the code from being used by others. - Problem with redirection is that it assumes that I am signed in to OIDC provider on the same machine. - Also right now web client has to implement 2 different flows. - I am thinking of something like…
Agreed, redirect is out. Do device flow in our backend: app gets a code + QR; your signed-in web client approves it; app polls and gets tokens. Web keeps ONE OIDC flow, app has none. No provider change. Sketch it?

On my iPad, I use the PWA. The PWA app can’t really do the OIDC flow because when I get to Google Sign In, it shows me as logged out despite me signed in to Google in Safari.
