Merge device SDK app and OAuth permissions

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by on ‎06-09-2019 12:26

Since Fitbit does not have feature parity between between its device SDK and the Web API, Fitbit should merge SDK and OAuth permissions and allow FitbitOS SDK apps to make requests to the Fitbit Web API to retrieve additional data. There is already a consent screen when installing FitbitOS apps. Merging these consent screens would make a far better end user experience than having end users have to go through an additional OAuth consent flow via device app settings.

That's a great suggestion. We have already been making steps towards allowing API requests without the need to force users to reauthenticate each app, but we aren't quite there yet.
