Google drive : redirect_uri_mismatch

Question

I followed this basic tutorial, but I get:

Eroare:redirect_uri_mismatch The redirect URI in the request: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob did not match a register

Answer 1

The URI

urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

is only applicable to those Google client IDs that have been generated for "installed applications".

So to solve your problem you have to create a new Client ID and set Application Type as "Installed application". There you can get ClientId and ClientSecret which you will need.

1. Create a new Project Here

2. Select APIs from the left side bar and make sure Drive SDK is ON

3. Go to Credientials below APIs ,tap on "CREATE NEW CLIENT ID"

4. Select Installed application and type as iOS and provide Bundle ID (or simply choose "Other")

5. Copy Client ID & Client secret to use that in your application.

The redirect URI is automatically generated and should prevent the error you are getting.

Answer 2

The URI urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob is a special URI used to identify out-of-browser applications, i.e. non-web applications (desktop, mobile, command line, etc.).

When you create the credentials in the APIs Console, make sure you select "Installed Application" as the application type and the redirect URI will automatically be set as urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob and prevent the "redirect_uri_mismatch" when making a request.

Answer 3

For those web applications,please define the URI as your php url as it can handle the token and operate google drive.

Answer 4

When you create the credentials in the APIs Console, select "TV and Limited Input devices", this will allow the urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob redirect_uri, once it is authenticated, a code will be display for you to paste in the application.
