Will the decision by Google to block sign-ins from embedded browser frameworks affect Pythonista?

@ihf, it looks to me like this would not change much for you if you use a WebView, since they are already being blocked, requiring that you use OAuth with Google services:

”Denying authentication from embedded browser frameworks is a measure similar to the restriction Google announced in 2016 on web views, which are also embedded browsers.”

Could be that this impacts using SKSafariViewController.
