The Intuit developer support team recently hosted some office hours, providing helpful support and insights to developers in real time. Here’s a summary of the key takeaways from these sessions.
The first session was focused on the deprecation of minor versions 1–74 of the Accounting API. Attendees were particularly interested in understanding whether their applications would be impacted and what has changed in the new minor versions.
The developer support team provided comprehensive information and guidance, including how to determine impact, how to test the latest minor version, and what other actions need to be taken. To learn more about the planned deprecation and the upcoming deadline, read this article.
The second session centered around the OAuth 2 flow, which is an essential topic for developers integrating with Intuit services. This session was highly engaging, with developers actively participating and learning about best practices for token management, app disconnection, handling multiple company admins connecting to the app, and more.
One of the interesting questions that came up in the OAuth 2 flow session was how to differentiate between accountants connecting their own firm to an app vs connecting their client’s company to an app. We referenced this article to explain how to solve this problem. We encourage you to try this approach and let us know if you have further questions.
These office hours are a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Intuit developer team and get your questions answered in real-time. They also provide a valuable platform for networking with other developers, sharing ideas, and exchanging technical tips.
