Application not aware if its authorization has been revoked

[davidpbrown]

It seems that mail app, at least, is not aware if its authorization has been revoked.. and then no option in that to re-request it.

Unclear if the mail tutorial is really intended for critiquing or just an example but suggesting this in case it would affect applications widely.. with authenticator not broadcasting that change.

Perhaps apps need to be designed to check this if they want it.. not obvious if the link with Authenticator is a live link or just when needed but that difference might affect user experience?

Web Hosting Manager has a [Connected] tick top right that doesn't seem to be aware of revoked access or that the browser is closed. So, unclear if that is connected in any meaningful way. Attempting action suggest "Access Denied" rather vaguely, without noting that is a connection issue.

Thanks @davidpbrown for the feedback.
The sample apps are currently not supporting those cases, and as you say they would fail in the next attempt to perform an action on the network. However, the email app for example does support the event of a network disconnection. There is no notification for a revocation event, so the app would need to maybe poll the network/lib to find out.
We will keep this in our list to implement it eventually since this could be good to demonstrate how to implement it in a client app.
