While debugging an app, I noticed that I was able to download an Excel document via the $api->item->xlsx() function when I was using username/password authentication. However, when using app authentication, I got this error:

[Mon Jun 25 16:14:40 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] [PODIO] Reponse: {"error_propagate":false,"error_parameters":{},"error_detail":null,"error_description":"The app with id (myappid) does not have access to app with id (myappid)","error":"forbidden"}, referer: http://mydomain.com/index.php

I am very confused as to why this app does not have access to itself, as the app authentication works for everything else, including files and attachments(!).

After glancing through the posts of this group, I saw other people with the same problem, but without any answers.

Does anybody know why this is happening or how to fix it?

Thanks,

Gabe

Hi Gabe

Excel export is not available when logged in as an app. This is mostly technical reasons, but also for some security reasons. For now you will have to use username/password to export as Excel.

The error message is not very good, so I will get that improved for the next update tomorrow.
