helixToken undefined in mobile apps

[freaktechnik]

Brief description
Extensions now get a helixToken to make calls to the Twitch API from the front-end. However, this token is not passed in the Android app (yet).

How to reproduce
Output helixToken in the onAuthorized callback when the extension is loaded in the Android app.

Expected behavior
helixToken is documented without caveats of availability, so it should be available everywhere the extension is loaded.

Screenshots

Additional context or questions
The Twitch app on Android I'm using is Version 11.1.0 and Google Play offers me no update. I have also had matching reports from users of the extension.

👋 - We're aware of this and looking to get it included in an upcoming mobile release. I'll close this when that's gone out.

👋 Any updates on this topic so far? Like when a release might come out / if any release is planned yet since it's been about 2 months now.

Is there a recommended workaround for getting a user's display name while this bug exists?

The same way we did before helixToken was introduced: use an EBS/backend service

Any update?

Update:

seems it has a key in the object but the value is undefined
