Sphinx on Android

Hi Wagner,

I’m trying to use Sphinx with a Multiplatform Delphi app. When using it on Android the local loopback is not working for me. AI informs me that a local loopback is no longer allowed on Android with Chrome. See https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/resources/loopback-migration

AI lies very convincingly to me, so not that confident that it is telling me the truth but when I try to logon the browser sticks. I can manually change to my app and see that it has picked up the token but I’m not going to be able to get my end users to do that.

Have you had other reports of this? I don’t yet have a secure http (https) configured so it may be a red herring. I have changed my android manifest to allow clear type so that I can get to the XData Server in my development environment.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

I'm not following it closely to be honest, but I as far as I know it's still working, but I can't 100% guarantee it to you. It looks like this limitation is for Google Identity, not Android per se, with means is that the Google's "Sphinx competitor" is deprecating it for their API, but doesn't mean you can't have loopback servers in Android. Maybe you are missing some specific Android permission/configuration?

I couldn't get it to work with the browser on Android. Though I was able to get it working in Android using the embedded browser. See attached if it interests anyone.
