Tidepool Authentication API Deprecation

[toddkazakov]

Hello, I am the lead backend developer at Tidepool. In December 2022 we replaced our legacy authentication system with Keycloak. As a result, the existing API endpoints are deprecated, but we noticed that they are heavily used xDrip. As we are trying to completely retire the old system, all applications should migrate to the new OpenID Connect compatible implementation.

We don't have timeframe for the removal of the old APIs, but the way xDrip currently utilizes the APIs puts a strain on the new system (existing APIs act as proxy), because it starts a new auth session every time it requires a fresh token, instead of refreshing the session token directly.

I'll be more than happy to assist with setting up an integration/production environment client for the application. Any OIDC compatible library can be used (e.g. https://github.com/openid/AppAuth-Android). Let me know what's the best way to proceed.
