Hi all, ive been coding a few apps recently to test what sort of use i can make of the api data and oath has previously worked for all of them. Now, when i go to initiate oath i get 

 
{"message":"Bad Request","errors":[{"resource":"Application","field":"client_id","code":"invalid"}]}

when i know for certain that my .env file hasnt changed and even in new apps i have definitely copied it correctly. Any suggestions on next steps? Client id: “232161”

thanks.

You could try the authorization in the playground on https://developers.strava.com/playground . If it works there you will have to find the bug in your app.
