OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect now available for New Developers

-07/31/2017 – Added YouTube Video to bottom of post

Today we are happy to announce the general availability of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for *new* developers on the QuickBooks Online platform. As a new developer on the platform you will be able to implement OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for authorization and authentication.

What does this mean for existing developers who have already built an app?

Hold tight, we are actively working on providing you with a path to migrate your tokens from OAuth 1.0a/OpenID 2.0 to OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect as well as create new apps with OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect. We will notify the community once it’s ready.

The current release targets new developers and existing developers who have never created an app.

  Oauth 2.0 is only available for new developers. We are actively working on supporting Oauth 2.0 for existing developers including migration from Oauth 1.0 to 2.0

    Hi Jarred,
    Is OAuth2 working? We tried on “OAuth 2.0 Playground” in the Developer portal and it keeps giving “We’re experiencing some problems. Please try again later.”

  We have a couple of sample projects in our Github for OAuth 2.0 with .NET. When using the SDK: https://github.com/IntuitDeveloper/OAuth2-Dotnet_UsingSDK
  and when not using the SDK: https://github.com/IntuitDeveloper/OAuth2-Dotnet-WithoutSDK

Can we have the option to choose whether newly created apps in the developer sandbox use OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0? I have “legacy” production apps (read, OAuth 1.0) that I need to test by setting up new apps in the developer sandbox but I can only set up OAuth 2.0 apps. Having the option to choose which version of the OAuth to use would be very helpful for many developers, I would imagine.

  Hello Ronan,
  
  You can always use your old account and create a new app using that account. The app will be created on OAuth 1.0. Any new account created will by default only have OAuth 2.0.

    Unfortunately I have to use a newly created account (meaning I had to go through the “sign up” process for the developer’s sandbox) with the goal of maintaining an in-house system that was created for OAuth1. I do not have access to the old account to use in this case. Hence my question. Is my only option to convert the code to use OAuth 2? That’s quite a hefty task at this point and I’d like to think there’s an alternative.

Tried sample apps
https://github.com/IntuitDeveloper/OAuth2-Dotnet_UsingSDK and
https://github.com/IntuitDeveloper/OAuth2-Dotnet-WithoutSDK
Both are returning error “We’re experiencing some problems. Please try again later.”.
Though I am a new developer but do you recommend to switch to OAth1.0 if OAuth2.0 is going to take some time to be stable enough?
