Invalid GTalk scope for device

[bjcoredev]

Hi,

I want my app to be able to log to gtalk and gmail with OAuth2 authentication.
My app runs on futures phones so it can't access to the internal browser
So i use the "device" OAuth flow as described at:

https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ForDevicesP

Post to

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/device/code

returns a invalid_scope error (400 HTTP error) with the scope setted to GTalk
(scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/googletalk").

 

If i set scope to gmail (https://mail.google.com/) , it returns the same error
 
but if i set scope to youtube (https://gdata.youtube.com) , all is working fine.

Is there a "white list" describing  source(web, installed app or devices) accessiblity to different scopes
Is OAuth2 authentication not permitted to Gtalk and GMail from a device ?

If this is the case, J2ME apps running on feature phones will not be abble to login anymore to GTalk/Gmail services when oAUTH2 will be
the only way to log to these services.

All phones are not smart phones running Android or IOS !

Any idea ? 

 

Thanks in advance

I realized I just asked pretty much the same question.  I hope we get an answer.
