Google plus returns "Error: disallowed_useragent" when opening OAuth page in BrowserComponent / WebBrowser

[mispro...@gmail.com]

I was trying to perform OAuth 2 with Google plus but it returns the 403 page, "Error: disallowed_useragent" when opening the page with BrowserComponent.

It works before, and so it seems that Google has changed the policies.

I have also used the Oauth2.showAuthentication for testing, but it keeps loading forever.

It works with simulator however.

As we cannot customize the User-agent of BrowserComponent, what we should do to overcome this problem?

Thanks.

FYI, I have removed all unnecessary components and try to the Oauth2.showAuthentication again. It now loads the same error page - disallowed_useragent.

Thanks.

Why are you using this approach and not the native login?

[mispro...@gmail.com]

Do you mean the one in GoogleConnect?

The isNativeLoginSupported method always returns false, doesn't it?

[Shai Almog]

Yes.
It should work on the device if you included the build hints as explained in the developer guide.

[mispro...@gmail.com]

Thanks for the answer.

Now I have tried to run it on iOS. It fails and gives the error message "Please install the Google Plus app on your device in order to log in with Google Plus".

What does it mean?

Build Hint

ios.gplus.clientId=xxxxxxxxxxxxxc6.apps.googleusercontent.com (copied from credential type ios)

Code

Login gc = GoogleConnect.getInstance();
gc.setClientId("xxxxxxxxxxxxgk0.apps.googleusercontent.com"); // client ID copied from the credential type Web application
gc.setRedirectURI(...);
gc.setClientSecret(...);
gc.setCallback(...);
gc.doLogin();

Is there anything wrong? Thanks.

It needs a Google app in order to perform the native login using that app. The way native login works is that it spans the official Google application which authorizes the user and then returns a "token" to your app.

[mispro...@gmail.com]

In the same device, I have installed Google Search, Google Chrome, Google Drive, Google Map, Gmail already.

All of these apps do not need to re-enter the login information once installed.

So I have no idea what's going on.

[Shai Almog]

Are you sure you set the build hint correctly via the settings app?
You didn't edit the codenameone_settings.properties app directly right?

[mispro...@gmail.com]

To ensure it has been applied correctly, I have removed the existing build hint and re-applied the Client ID by clicking Codename One Preference -> Build Hints -> Add Hint "ios.gplus.clientId" -> Save

Open the console.devepers.google.com and access the Credential part

Checked that the build hint is correct.

Checked the Bundle ID and it matches with the build hint codename1.ios.appid. Also tried the values xxxxxxxxx.com.xxxxxxx.xxxxx and com.xxxxxxx.xxxxx, but both return the same error.

Any more suggestion? Thanks.

I haven't done this in a while but Steve fixed a bug in google+ login just last week so this might be fresher in his memory. I'll ask him to look.

[Steve Hannah]

Apple started rejecting apps that use Safari to handle login.  Therefore you need to have the Google Plus app installed for google login to work.  You can relax this restriction using the

ios.gplus.requireGplusAppForLogin=false

build hint - but that's probably not a good idea.

Thanks Steve.

I have installed the Google+ app and logged in. Google+ app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-interests-communities-discovery/id447119634?mt=8

However I still get the "Please install the Google Plus app on your device...." error message in my app.

So I have tried to add the ios.gplus.requireGplusAppForLogin=false build hint and re-built

Still the same error message...

[Steve Hannah]

So I have tried to add the ios.gplus.requireGplusAppForLogin=false build hint and re-built

Sorry.  My mistake.  It's a display property, not a build hint.  So:

Display.getInstance().setProperty("ios.gplus.requireGplusAppForLogin", "false");

I'm looking into the other issue (the fact that the error message still appears with the GooglePlus app installed on your device).

Steve

[mispro...@gmail.com]

After adding the property, it works, at least for now, with safari opened and logged in

Just the Login.getAccessToekn().getExpires() returns null. Can be ignored first. Thanks.

[Shai Almog]

It seems there are issues with Google plus. We will be replacing it with standard Google login in the next update.

[mispro...@gmail.com]

Thanks Shai.

If possible please post an update to the Google Login tutorial.

[Shai Almog]

This is what Steve wrote for now:

Go to https://developers.google.com/mobile/add, follow the steps to create an App, and enable Google Sign-In, and download the GoogleService-Info.plist file.  Then copy this file into your project's native/ios directory.  No build hints necessary.

Steve is composing a long version with screenshots etc for the developer guide.

[mispro...@gmail.com]

Thanks. But is it because of this update, I cannot use the gplus build hint now?

I have received the error when releasing the app:

<main> ERROR: ERROR ITMS-90535: "Unexpected CFBundleExecutable Key. The bundle at 'Payload/MainUI.app/GooglePlus.bundle' does not contain a bundle executable. If this bundle intentionally does not contain an executable, consider removing the CFBundleExecutable key from its Info.plist and using a CFBundlePackageType of BNDL. If this bundle is part of a third-party framework, consider contacting the developer of the framework for an update to address this issue."
<main> DBG-X: The error code is: 1102
<main>  INFO: Done performing authentication.
<main> DBG-X: Returning 1

[Steve Hannah]

If you include the GoogleService-Info.plist in your native/ios directory, it should circumvent the addition of GooglePlus.  Do you have any other build hints explicitly including the GooglePlus framework in your app?  Are you including the GooglePlus bundle in your app in some other way?

I see.

So we cannot use the ios.gplus.requireGplusAppForLogin build hint anymore.

After the change it works now, though I took another week to re-test the functions...

Thanks.

Hi Steve

Will there be an update that performs the sign-in inside a Web Component within the app. Like the Facebook Login?

[Steve Hannah]

For the simulator, you would use the Oauth2 client ID and secret.  I have documented the full process here:

https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/wiki/GoogleSignIn

This will be integrated into the Developer guide soon, but for now you can read it in the Wiki.

I moved the docs into the developer guide. They should be there now.
