LinkedIn Javascript SDK authorize stopped working
I have a LinkedIn integration using their SDK and use the method authorize to request permission from the user to post in her/his behalf. It was working fine but today I noticed that it stopped working. The issue is that the callbackFunction (see https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/getting-started-js-sdk) never gets called, so I don't know when the user grants permission or not.
I was checking and noticed that the file: https://platform.linkedin.com/in.js now redirects to https://platform.linkedin.com/xdoor/scripts/in.js. I took a look at https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://platform.linkedin.com/in.js and it seems that it changed around November the 13th.
Have you had any problems with the SDK recently?

Unfortunately no, I haven't been able to find anything. I found a workaround for it though. TheisAuthorizeddoes returntrueafter the user has granted access so I could use an interval to check when that becomestrueand manually invoke the callback.

@Thayne I have a support case opened and am waiting to hear back. But their support cases are supposed to be for linkedin.com issues, not API questions. Their developer SDK documentation recommends asking questions on Stack Overflow.

Have in mind that LinkedIn posted recentlySDKs: Our JavaScript and Mobile Software Development Kits (SDKs) will stop working. Developers will need to migrate to using OAuth 2.0 directly from their apps.(engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2018/12/developer-program-updates). I think that is a kind of abrupt change, but it seems that soon (probably in 2019-03-01 or before) LinkedIn will only accept Oauth2 authentication.

isAuthorized does return true after the user has granted access so I could use an interval to check when that becomes true and manually invoke the callback.– David Montaño
