Update Connect IQ browser to allow OAuth login to 3rd party (disallowed_useragent error)

I'm unable to complete a OAuth 2 login flow to Google on my Garmin 6 PRO due to a "disallowed_useragent" error in the login browser. This cought me by surprise since it works perfectly in the simulator and there's no mention of this limitation in the docs.

I know that this was already addressed by the dev team, but I can't wrap my head around why this isn't a planned fix. To me, allow developer easy access to Google Auth services without the need of a companion app is a no brainer.

Is there any issue that I'm not seeing (perhaps license/security related?). Is there an undocumeted alternative flow that doesn't require creating a separate app?

    Search the main forum for "Google OAUTH".

    I doubt it will change, as this came up a while back and comes up once in a while.

    People just pulled apps or re-worked things to not use google or maybe wrote a companion app..

    I'm not sure I'd call it a bug or an issue - it was a decision by Google to not allow it, and I don't think there is a work around..
