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

[John Bradley <[e-mail]>]

The chairs approved this as a working group document.

The initial version I posted is marked as an intended status as a "Best Current Practice”

The advantage of a BCP is that it can be updated to include new information as things change.

The spec has no extensions to OAuth 2 or MUST’s to profile it.  

Like the TLS BCP it provides implementation advice for developers to safely use the “Standards Track” specifications.

If that is the wrong intended Category it can be changed by the WG chairs at any time.

Thanks for supporting the document.  I hope that we can expand it with more specific advice for developers on native platforms
beyond just iOS and Android.   However what we can do will depend on people with experience in other platforms contributing.

Regards
John B.
