FxA Client

What's New

• Android: FirefoxAccount.handlePushMessage now handles all possible FxA push payloads and will return new AccountEvents (#2522):

  • .ProfileUpdated which should be handled by fetching the newest profile.
  • .AccountAuthStateChanged should be handled by checking if the authentication state is still valid.
  • .AccountDestroyed should be handled by removing the account information (no need to call FirefoxAccount.disconnect) from the device.
  • .DeviceConnected can be handled by showing a " is connected to this account" notification.
  • .DeviceDisconnected should be handled by showing a "re-auth" state to the user if isLocalDevice is true. There is no need to call FirefoxAccount.disconnect as it will fail.

• iOS: Added FxAccountManager.getSessionToken. Note that you should request the .session scope in the constructor for this to work properly. (#2638)

• iOS: Added FxAccountManager.getManageAccountURL. (#2658)

• iOS: Added FxAccountManager.getTokenServerEndpointURL. (#2658)

  • accountMigrationInFlight and retryMigration should be used in conjunction to handle cases where the migration could not be completed but is still recoverable.

• Added a deviceId property to the AccountEvent.deviceDisconnected enum case. (#2645)

• Added context=oauth_webchannel_v1 in getManageDevicesURL methods for WebChannel redirect URLs. (#2658)

  • FirefoxAccount.pollDeviceCommands now returns an array of IncomingDeviceCommand.
