Google auth dialog showing "403 diallowed_useragent" #118

I'm working on a Powerpoint add-in which supports signing in via Google. I have used the office-js-helpers library to power the OAuth2 setup for Google. It works great for most platforms, but when clicked on an iPad, I'm getting a 403 user_agent error from Google:

I believe this is because of a policy change by Google (went into full effect Apr 2017) not allowing OAuth requests from Webviews (as seen here).

Will office-js-helpers be updated to tackle this issue? Do you have any recommendations on how to address this in the meantime?

Thanks for bringing this up. We'll get back with any recommendation we may have. At this point, I don't have any new information to offer.
