Re: [OAUTH-WG] Call for adoption: OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps

Yes, in July we recommended using the system browser rather than WebViews.   

About that time Apple announced Safari view controller and Google Chrome custom tabs.   The code in the OS is now stable and we have done a fair amount of testing.

The OIDF will shortly be publishing reference libraries for iOS and Android to how how to best use View Controllers, and PKCE in native apps on those platforms.

We do need to update this doc to reflect what we have learned in the last 6 months.

One problem we do still have is not having someone with Win 10 mobile experience to help document the best practices for that platform. 
I don’t understand that platform well enough yet to include anything.

The new API doesn't give the calling application access to anything inside the browser, so it is acceptable for using with OAuth flows. I think it's important to mention this new capability for apps to leverage since it leads to a better user experience.
