IN.User.Authorize callback never fired

Question

Since today, our application that uses the linkedin javascript SDK to authenticate users stopped working. ​ We realized that the call to https://platform.linkedin.com/in.js now redirects to https://platform.linkedin.com/xdoor/scripts/in.js.

​ Consequently, calls to IN.User.Authorize(callbackFunction) successfully opens the authentication dialog window but the callback is never fired anymore. ​

Also, in another part of our application we are using the IN.UI.Authorize.place().onWindowRemove.subscribe(callbackFunction) to track dialog closes. This feature has also stopped wording and now opens a new window with the url invalid:// and the console throws this error: ​

jSecure Error: URL should be absolute with allowed schemas, relative, a hash fragment or query string. TODO?client_id=XXXX&type=user-agent in.js:7
​
jSecure Error: URL should be absolute with allowed schemas, relative, a hash fragment or query string. invalid://?xdOrigin=https%3A%2F%2FXXX-XXX&xdChannel=XXXX&xd_origin_host=https%3A%2F%2FXXXX.XXXX in.js:7 
​
jSecure Error: URL should be absolute with allowed schemas, relative, a hash fragment or query string. TODO?client_id=XXXX&type=user-agent

​ ​ Do you have an idea on why this stopped working ?

EDIT: Bug reappeared as of 2019 01 28.

We are having the same issues, along with many others errors that were previously working. We have not made code changes on our end, but a lot of functionality is currently broken. The sdk code has changed quite a bit this week, which you can see through the web archive web.archive.org/web*/platform.linkedin.com/in.js – Hyacinth

I'm receiving this error message: "Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'this.self.location.replace')" which points to line 1434 in in.js and the offending code: ` return l()(e, t), a()(e, [{ key: "reload", value: function() { this.self.location.replace(P.call(this)), D.call(this) } }]), e ` – Sunshinesunspot

same issue here. same error as @tupakapoor. – Airlift

This appears to be working now! – Sunshinesunspot

Try replacing window.IN.User.authorize with window.IN.user.authorize

window.IN.user.authorize is returning a promise and success callback is executed post login success. Its weird but working if we replace User with user

window.IN.user.authorize().then(function(data){
                    console.log("Logged in successfully .");
                    window.IN.API.Raw("/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,formatted-name,headline,location,industry,current-share,num-connections,num-connections-capped,summary,specialties,positions,picture-url,site-standard-profile-request,api-standard-profile-request,public-profile-url,email-address)").method("GET").body().result(function (oData) {
                        that.props.dispatch(userCreation(linkedInProfileFormat(oData)));
                    });
                },function(error){
                    alert("Linkedin failed because of harshita !");
                });

Try this code. I did some changes and working fine for me. need to replace window.IN.User.authorize() TO window.IN.user.authorize()

  <script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js">
            api_key: XXXXXXXXX
            authorize: true

        </script>

        <script type="text/javascript">

        function liAuth(){
        window.IN.user.authorize().then(function(){
        getProfileData();
        });
        }
        function setLoginBadge(profile) {
                if (!profile) {
                profHTML = "<p>You are not logged in</p>";
                }                       
                document.getElementById("given_name").value = profile.firstName;
                document.getElementById("family_name").value = profile.lastName;
                document.getElementById("email").value = profile.emailAddress;
                document.getElementById("verifyOauthRequestLinkedIn").submit();
                }


        function onError(error) {
        console.log(error);
        }

        function getProfileData() {
        IN.API.Profile("me")
        .fields(["id", "firstName", "lastName", "pictureUrl", "publicProfileUrl","email-address","headline"])
        .result(function(result) {
        setLoginBadge(result.values[0]);
                })
        .error(onError);
        }

        </script>

        <a href="#"><img onclick="liAuth()" src="/images/linkedIn.png"></a>
