"Redirect URIs now need to use a secure https:// URL" (April 2026)

Authorising a new connection from our app has failed with a "something went wrong".

 

API support advise:

 

We’re tightening validation around the web address your app uses to receive users back from MYOB after they grant access. Redirect URIs now need to use a secure https:// URL on a supported, registered hostname.

If your app is still using an http:// redirect URI, localhost-style address, desktop/internal hostname, or any non-public callback address, the consent step may appear to proceed, but the final connection back to the app can fail with a generic message such as “unable to connect, something went wrong”.

 

Could you please check the redirect URI registered for the app and confirm it is using:

https://

a valid registered hostname

a publicly reachable callback URL

an exact match to the redirect_uri sent in the OAuth request

 

I was not aware of this change, nor can I find any reference to it on this forum, developer.myob.com or apisupport.myob.com. Can anyone provide evidence?

    We have now resolved this with the assistance of our domain provider, but I'm still looking for an answer as to where the https:// requirement is documented. We used http://desktop for several weeks after the recent scope changes.
