I'm developing a Web site. The site offers users to connect to Strava. It works well. However, many of my users use the Strava app and don't even remember their credentials. I would like the oauth2 flow to use the Strava app, not the Strava site for approval. Is there a way to do it?

Use Strava app for oauth2 authorization from web

For IOS you could use strava://oauth/mobile/authorize to open the app but note that it’s up to the browser to know how to handle appname:// links. Safari should know what to do and ask the user if they want to open the app but alternative browsers may open an internet search instead.

+26The documentation states:
Android apps can use an Implicit Intent to redirect users to the
GET https://www.strava.com/oauth/mobile/authorizeendpoint. The Strava app should open automatically if the user has it installed.
This URL should work the same when using it from the browser.

First: thanks. It seems to work om my Android phone.
I tested it yesterday on a Table (Samsung) and it didn’t work as expected. I will try to review that again. Do you happen to know about a solution for iPhone?
Thanks again,
Ilan
