AndroidID, Security Token etc.. gor a client - server flow #38

Closed raulraja closed 10 years ago

raulraja commented 10 years ago

Trying to wrap my head around the whole Android_ID, autogeneration etc... We have a server with the google play crawler where I can successfully serve all the operations via REST endpoints to be consumed by clients connecting to the REST API.

Obviously the user / password constructor then checkin() is not an option for this case. We want to use the clients access to google accounts to provide our Android id, secretToken and cd2m auth token so each client has it's own GooglePlayAPI instance associated to the account that use for the requests.

What is the recommended flow approach to use the GooglePlayAPI class without a user and pass?

The checkin() call implies you have a password instance variable.

Any ideas on how to implement such a flow? thanks in advance and great job.

Assuming your client lives as an android app, you can try this..

Thanks @Akdeniz I succeeded getting a AC2DM token and Android ID based on your post! . It complains about the security token though not being valid when I perform requests with those credentials. As I understand the security token is generated when you first call checkin() and that call uses the fake S3 info hardcoded in the lib. Is there any way to obtain the security token from the clients? thx
