Hello,

I have implemented project having PKCE enabled. In this case, we don't have CLIENT_SECRET value. This library does not works without CLIENT_SECRET value. It gives Null Pointer exception. How to use this library without CLIENT_SECRET key.

It's mentioned in readme doc that use of client_secter is dangerous but it does not works without this.

I am using this library with PKCE and without a client secret and it works without a problem.

Using a client Secret in a installed/deployed App is not dangerous but senseless because anyone could read the client secret from the deployed package. Using PKCE is recommended in this case.
