Using custom scheme (myapp://dashboard) in drupal simple-oauth2 module's redirect url

Question

How can I use custom scheme i.e. myapp://dashboard for the redirect field of Drupal simple oauth2 module?

I get this error: 'myapp://dashboard is not a valid url'

I also tried to use the redirect module to redirect a node to this url but I got the same- invalid url error.

Yes you can add an exception. If you do not already have a services.yml file, copy default.services.yml to services.yml. In services.yml update the list of filter_protocols to contain the custom protocol.

Answer 2

I have found 3 ways to do this:

1. Create a node, in the oauth2 redirect add this node's url, using redirect module redirect this node to your custom scheme eg: myapp://dashboard.

2. Use deep linking or App Links in your app and website, verify your ownership and use Intent in your native app. Now whenever oauth2 module will redirect after verification (https://your.site/login/callback node), your app's requested screen will open and oauth2 login/authentication will get completed automatically!

3. (NOT the best method) I followed Cliefen's advice, updated the list of filter_protocols and edited the required cell in the 'consumers' table of the database. Now it works perfectly fine! (Clear your cache)
