oauth sign in flow not working (tumblr bug, new as of tonight)

[mrjason]

looks like you guys rolled out a new UI for tumblr that's showing up
in oauth login flows, except when a user logs in they no longer get a
"allow app" screen. they just get their regular tumblr dashboard view.

It's working fine for me, at this moment. Just did a few tests.

hmm, i wonder if it's app specific for us right now? has been
redirecting to dashboard on ipad for past few hours.

[felix bonkoski]

If I had an iPad, I'd test that out - but I don't. Sorry!

Felix

[mrjason]

we have several users reporting the bug to us as well, so definitely
not a local setup or code change issue.

[mrjason]

are you using xauth? we're using oauth, havent had this problem before
and the same code has worked for more than 6 months.

I just tested it from our Android app. We are having the same problem. Drops us into the dashboard after the login.

[felix bonkoski]

Sounds like y'all will just have to wait till morning for someone to fix it.

OAuth flow is working OK through conventional desktop browsers, from my end.

To be clear, we are using OAuth in a mobile application. After entering our username and password we are dropped into our dashboard. The correct behavior should take us to the "Allow App" page.


@mrjason Have you attempted to contact Tumblr? I think that we are in a similar situation; by morning time we could have user complaints and negative app ratings:(

[mrjason]

yeah I emailed the last tumblr developer I saw on threads here, sent
some logs showing the URL back and forth too.

hopefully this will be fixed soon. glad and also sad to hear it isnt
only us ..

Is it only Tablet devices? We tested out our integration with flipboard (which was broken), rolled back a change and it worked fine.

Just tested  mobile and tablet; It appears to be resolved. I am going run another cycle of testing from a clean install/browser.

As an aside, do you recommend that mobile apps use xauth? If so, what is the criteria for approval?

Thanks.

seems to be only ipad now, iphone is working fine now. ipad is still
not working for us.

Hey all,

We just did a deploy. Can you tell me if you're still having the same problems?

I just tested a few Android devices:

Nexus One (2.3.6) : Success
HTC Jetstream (3.1) : Success after uninstall
Kindle Fire: Success
HTC Desire Z (2.3.4): Success after device restart, endless loop to deny/allow page before restart
Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3.2): Success
BlackBerry Playbook: Success, tested from clean install

Working fine on ipad now, thanks John and team.

i get this error

Something bad happen!

Authentification failed. The user has canceled the authentication or the provider refused the connection.

i'm even using the xAuth.
