I have created a web app that authorizes a customer's AdWords account, and then sends daily emailed reports about the customer's AdWords campaigns. The authorization process happens once, and with refresh tokens we use cron jobs to deliver the reports daily, on behalf of the customer. I have gone back and forth with my developer on this -- I am not the developer -- and from everything I have read, I should be able to use oAuth for Web Applications in Offline mode. However, he claims we must use the Installed Application scenario.
The reason I ask is because we have a problem. The requirement to copy an authorization code into the web app is confusing. The language is even confusing: "Please copy this code, switch to your application and paste it there." Most of our test users cannot get past this step. Also, have you ever tried to copy such an authorization code on an iPhone? It does not work. The process is definitely not mobile-friendly, which is another big problem. You can test it for yourself here: http://www.reportly.com.
