Taifun,

RE: Pura Vida - API and Authentication

1. I am now registered with AOthur 2.0 & Drive API. You have sent me the blocks/source for the basic steps on AOuth process and I would like to try some examples. Your suggested the List, Upload and Download apps. That would be perfect. How do I get the complete aia?

2. In Red - ... the solution to receive access token via webview will not work after 4/20/17. Does this effect the above example?

Thanks, Charles

Note: Google was modernizing OAuth interactions in Native Apps for Better Usability and Security, which means, this solution to receive an access token via webview unfortunately does not work anymore starting from April 20, 2017.
Currently there is no workaround available... Someone will have to write a Google Drive extension...

Taifun,

This is disappointing! Google's ... More later doesn't respond. So what's next?

I have several apps that benefit from using and storing images. One is very simple. It saves a list to TinyDB with name/image using List Picker. Everything is fine until I update the app and find the list is gone. I had hoped to be able to save and retrieve both data and images to the web. Again... what do I do now? Charles
