helixToken undefined in mobile extension

magnetik · August 20, 2021, 12:42pm

Hi,

I’m getting the helixToken in the onAuthorized callbak in my overlay extension. It works flawlessly.

But when I’m in mobile view, the auth.helixToken is undefined.
I’m in an hosted test. Can this be the reason?

What can I do?

Thanks.

**Brief description** Extensions now get a `helixToken` to make calls to the Tw…itch API from the front-end. However, this token is not passed in the Android app (yet). **How to reproduce** Output `helixToken` in the onAuthorized callback when the extension is loaded in the Android app. **Expected behavior** `helixToken` is documented without caveats of availability, so it should be available everywhere the extension is loaded. **Screenshots** **Additional context or questions** The Twitch app on Android I'm using is Version 11.1.0 and Google Play offers me no update. I have also had matching reports from users of the extension.

And the rig
