This post it to better explain what happens when you create an “App” in box.com. Box will automatically generate a Service Account where the name of the account is the name of your app. When you make API calls, it is for this service account, and the files that exist and what you see are not the same as your […]

Question: I would like to know if Chilkat is affected by the new security measures taken by Google concerning “Loopback IP Adresses” or “OAuth out-of-band (oob)” https://developers.googleblog.com/2022/02/making-oauth-flows-safer.html https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/native-app#redirect-uri_loopback Answer: Chilkat does not use “oob”, so it’s not an issue. The loopback address, such as “http://localhost:port/”, remains valid if you define your app in the Google Developers Console as a “Desktop […]
