📄 Description

Description

This PR adds a warning callout to the Kakao authentication documentation.

Kakao Login requests the account_email scope by default. However, this scope is only available for apps that have switched to Biz App status. Users testing with a regular app (non-Biz) encounter an "Invalid Scope" error with the default configuration.

I have added a Callout to warn users about this requirement and provided instructions on how to disableDefaultScope if they are not using a Biz App.

Changes

  • Updated docs/content/docs/authentication/kakao.mdx to include a warning about the account_email scope.
  • None

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING guide
  • Documentation has been updated

Summary by cubic

Added a warning in the Kakao authentication docs that the default account_email scope only works for Biz Apps, which causes "Invalid Scope" errors on regular or test apps. The docs now show how to set disableDefaultScope: true and specify supported scopes (e.g., profile_nickname, profile_image) to avoid the error.

Written for commit 2a3ff27b1e. Summary will update on new commits.
