FordPass - Scriptable Widget (iOS, iPad, MacOS)

[Sapphire]

That's interesting... I bet it's because of the URL encoding when sending the data to ford for the token.

I might need to pre-escape the text

Probably needs Java escaping. Will was getting Error 500: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException back from the server, causing the widget script error. I had him test with raw curl commands to cut out the script as a factor. If I de-laze myself into changing my password to include % and $ and try putting \s in front of them, I could just test it myself. It might work. Haha. URL encoding would just put more %s in there (but, maybe it was the $ being rejected). Apologies for all the nerd talk for everyone reading this!

So it was the complicated password causing the issue that @WillB17 and I are having?

Not because it’s complicated, just because of the symbols. I’m using a complicated password too, but only letters and numbers.

Thanks for figuring it out!

It’s very possible. I will get you a version to test with asap.
Please bear with me. I have another update I'm working on releasing. I'm trying to roll all the fixes into my existing work.
I’m trying to also build a script whose sole purpose is to download and update the ford pass widget script. So no more copy-paste

Ok, never mind, I had a dumb. @tonesto7 I just successfully tested it, you were right. The password needs to be URL encoded when you put it in the POST payload. (I didn't pay attention close enough that it does have the application/x-www-form-urlencoded in there). Just needs an encodeURI slapped in there.

My friend. I appreciate your efforts. No worries about me. I can change my password and if that doesn’t work I can wait longer.

Well, if you want your symbols back (and for the others still having issues and also have ants in their pants waiting until @tonesto7 puts this into an upcoming version), replace line 1152 from the 1.1.1 version of the script with this:

req.body = encodeURI(`client_id=9fb503e0-715b-47e8-adfd-ad4b7770f73b&grant_type=password&username=${username}&password=${password}`);

and you should be all good.

I just keep finding new ideas. Basically, I can share an iOS shortcut that you can add to your device to basically dictate commands to the widget. This means Siri voice commands. And they can be as advanced as we want.
hey Siri , ford widget start my truck

If you figure out how to do this please let us know, would like to have my more secure password back! Even though I accidentally leaked it to @Sapphire

Try out what I wrote above in post #126. Tested succesfully!

V1.2.1 Release

• Refactored the entire authentication mechanism to get the newer token required for advanced commands and API data calls.
• Added support for advanced commands like SecuriAlert, and likely any future commands.
• Fixes for passwords with special characters (hopefully)
• Updated menu navigation labels and menus so that you can go back to previous menus instead of exiting each time.
• Added a debug menu under the widget settings menu. It will allow you to save all vehicle data to your device clipboard for easy sharing with me or others.
• Added an OTA API page under the debug menu as well. (it's just the output in JSON)
• Added a Vehicle Data page under the debug menu as well.
• Fixed the way that door status is captured and hopefully fixes errors and will accommodate 2-door vehicles better.
• Lots of other little fixes.

I made a last-minute push and added a vehicle data output to the debug page. So please update if again if you wish to see it.

@tonesto7 ... I just want to say "THANK YOU!" for all your hard work on this.

To the rest of us who are reaping the rewards of his work... might I point out that there is a "Donate" button on the Github page for the project:

We could at least send him enough to take his wife out for a second anniversary dinner!

Just a thought.

Few small things! Tested this on the IPad Pro 12.9” for fun, but in the Medium(?) sized widget, part of the text gets cut off, however the largest widget will show all info without anything being sliced off. Also, my TPMS sensors are not in this set of wheels and is disabled from alerting me on my screen and FordPass via forscan and the truck currently reads dashes (-) on all 4 corners however the widget is reporting a value still.

It's a glitch in the widget itself. I have the same iPad and it eventually lines up correctly.

That's from my iPad Pro 12.9"
No need to use the large widget.

As far as the tire pressure I can only go on what fordpass API shows

Very interesting. Going to read this again
