Google calendar access disabled

[szucskrisztian]

When I try to connect to Gcal and click on the link in the widget settings, the browser opens and say that the request is invalid and I should contact with the developer.

Issue details:
"400 hibakód: invalid_request
The out-of-band (OOB) flow has been blocked in order to keep users secure. Follow the Out-of-Band (OOB) flow migration guide linked in the developer docs below to migrate your app to an alternative method.

I got something similar, albeit more generic:

You can’t sign in because KDE Event Calendar Widget sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error
If you are a developer of KDE Event Calendar Widget, see error details.
Error 400: invalid_request

And have you found any solution?

[mkwsnyder]

I have not; from the error message you got it sounds like Google changed how third party apps need to authenticate. Hopefully it won't be too difficult of a change, but without digging into the code and Google's documentation (something I can't do for a week or two) I'm not sure.

I even tried copying over the authentication token found in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc from a machine I'd previously authenticated on and that didn't work.

Edit: it appears this is a duplicate issue of both #331 and #333 so I'd recommend closing it. It looks like what I tried above is working for some people in said issues; I'd recommend trying it yourself to see if it works.

That's not a fix if you cannot recover a token from a existing install.

That's not a fix if you cannot recover a token from a existing install.

I agree, it's a temporary band-aid solution until the project owner can implement an actual fix. I'm simply mentioning it here so that it can help those that do have an existing install.

Have the same issue. Is there anyway to genereate the token manually?

[etoven]

I don't think so.

Please just fix. Iv tried all other calenders and they all have something that stops me from using them.

I wont be holding my breath.

[etoven]

He probably doesn't want to spin up a server or pay for api access anymore.

@Zren is possible fix this?

[cruz94]

same issue here @Zren

Like many others, I'm experiencing the same problem.

It was mentioned in another thread that the code can be extracted from a config file and re-entered as a work around.

Which is good to know.

Unfortunately I did a completely fresh install, after some hardware upgrades.

Reformatted the old HDD and no longer have access to the file in question.

Which brings to mind a question, despite some recent changes in the last 4 months, (translation), is this applet actively maintained anymore?

Perhaps there is an active fork?

Anyone have any insights?

[tategotoazarasi]

Same issue.

The akonadi stuff can synchronize with google calendar, so maybe via that...
