Re: [OAUTH-WG] Google's OAuth endpoints now fully support PKCE (RFC7636)

[Vladimir Dzhuvinov <[e-mail]>]

This is good news William! I hope more developers will become aware of
PKCE through its adoption by Google. Right now there's virtually zero
awareness about this option among devs.

Coincidentally we also put support for PKCE in the Nimbus OAuth/OIDC SDK
this week. Regarding errors we practice what Nat suggested - i.e. we
don't detail the exact cause of the error, but in the
"error_description" field we list all possible causes that a client dev
should check - invalid code, redirect_uri mismatch, bad pkce challenge, etc.

Cheers,

Vladimir
