<p>Hi people,<br /><br />We received the following email from Google regarding the deprecation of <span>OAuth out-of-band (OOB) flow.<br /><br /></span>As we don't know which KDE app or library corresponds to the OAuth client ID shared from them at the end of the email, we thought it is possibly something relevant to the kde-pim team.<br /><br />It's worth checking if it affects any kde-pim apps. If not, and you happen to know which app they might be referring to, do reach out. </p>
