Thanks for the suggestion for the redirect url, since i am doing this in a mobile application the blocker that i am facing is it shows invalid_grant message for like 2seconds on the screen and then vanishes and takes me back to my mobile app with the token.

 

What i can do is wrap everything i did for my xamarin project and send it to you for reference and then maybe you can have a look at it if my explanation is not clear through comments or i can send a video too let me know

Can you print out the actual /oauth2/token HTTP response body? That would be the best way to troubleshoot this.
