Epxiring Access Tokens for Android and OAuth for Clover Web-App

Hi there,

Regarding the new expiring access tokens, has that been added to the Android SDK? We have a web-view app that has been implemented and it requires api access. So far we have been using the

CloverAuth.authenticate() method, but I don't see any references to expirations and refresh tokens in the documentation.

Is this available vie the SDK?

References:

https://docs.clover.com/docs/oauth-for-web-views-non-clover-devices - Get an access token from the Clover SDK
- Links here: https://github.com/clover/clover-android-sdk/blob/master/clover-android-sdk-examples/src/main/java/com/clover/android/sdk/examples/WebServiceActivity.java#L111-L115
AuthResult reference as of SDK 306
- https://clover.github.io/clover-android-sdk/com/clover/sdk/util/CloverAuth.AuthResult.html
Migration References - no Android refresh token references found either
- https://docs.clover.com/docs/refresh-access-tokens
- https://docs.clover.com/docs/legacy-token-migration-flow

Any information would be much appreciated!

We need an urgent reply from Clover about this. August 1st is the cut off date for when to start using OAuth 2 for API calls.

Bumping and cross-posting this as we need a response from Clover preferably a few weeks before August 1st refresh token change goes live. There are several posts on this, but there is no clarity, or answers. We're just playing a guessing game.

We have an OAUTH flow for merchants to "link" their Clover, however we also have a native app which is how the vast majority of merchants start their journey.

We use CloverAuth.authenticate() (in native app) to get a token, which we then use to talk to Clover Rest API. There's even an example here describing that this token can be used to query Clover API: https://docs.clover.com/docs/query-web-services

As per @MichaelElias post - it sounds like this token CAN NOT be "migrated". So the questions are:

1. Is the token received via CloverAuth.authenticate() a long-term token and is different from OAUTH token?

2. Can the token received via CloverAuth.authenticate() be used to make REST API calls?

3. If the token received via CloverAuth.authenticate() can be "migrated" (in future?) - will it invalidate an oauth refresh-access token AND similarly, will a new OAUTH token-pair invalidate the sdk token OR can these two co-exist

Hi all,

could you confirm that the CloverAuth.authenticate() token continues to use it "as-is" in REST API requests?

TIA

so far it seems that device tokens continue to work as before. we now have merchants who are on device-tokens (with rest requests from devices and our backend) and merchants who are on new expiring tokens. both seem to function.

Android and OAuth integration for Clover Web Apps enhances security and user experience. OAuth provides a secure method for users to authorize access to their Clover account without sharing credentials. For Android apps, this means tv billing issues seamless authentication and authorization for Clover’s services, ensuring secure interactions and transactions. This integration simplifies access management while protecting user data and enhancing app functionality.
