Agreed - it's a severe limitation indeed. In terms of landing the google-play-services oauth2-token request feature I am trying to implement, I see a number of paths forward: 1) Rewrite the Aeroegear Oauth2 API altogether to be intenet based, providing users the token via the #onActivityResult method. This would mostly just be adding a layer in front of the existing API, and shouldn't be too honerous. It would however be a breaking change for downstream applications. 2) Leave the google-play-services request out of android-authz (Android users can initiate the play-services intent themselves if they want). Instead I would implement this feature only in the oauth2-codova plugin where I can receive the intent response. 3) Explore using an Android Service to handle Oauth2 token requests. I believe we would be able to trigger an intent and retrieve the result from within the service, then provide it to the downstream application from the service. It's a little unclear as to whether starting intents from a Service is good practice. My vote would be to pursue 2) for now, with a note about 1) being added to AGDROID-319 to be treated in a future revision.

Thoughts?
