Installing itch game with uri secret
See original GitHub issueIf you have access to a game with downloads and copy paste the full URI including the ?secret=...
, the itch app gives you an error page.
The game in question has publicly announced the secret on Ludum Dare and should probably rather be published, but I figure it would still be very nice if you were sent a secret URI for an itch game to be able to install it via the app.
I don’t want to directly post the secret here, so I link to the Ludum-page where I found the game:

@fasterthanlime Any progress on this?
My thought on how this could work: 1)The api should get the associated shared key sent to it and you can there decide if there is enough permission or not. 2) the game gets associated with the user when he adds it to his collection. Here you get problems with revoking keys to games, and need to explicitly remove the game from each collection. 3) When it comes to ‘download key’ allow several user to claim the same key and just track with user that has claimed it.
