8 years agoIf you're implementing the OAuth app authorization flow yourself without using an SDK, you should use the standard documented OAuth endpoints. That is, you should use /oauth2/authorize instead of /connect, as /connect isn't documented and only meant for use in the official SDKs.
When using the OAuth 2 app authorization flow, your redirect URI doesn't technically need to be https://. You can use http:// redirect URIs on localhost only (e.g., for testing) or a custom local URL scheme (like the SDK does).
Also, if you are building on Android, we do recommend using the official API v2 Java SDK. There's a sample Android app you can refer to.
