Refresh not working for OAuth based Custom Connector in Power BI Service

Hi, we developed a custom connector for Power BI. It works fine perfectly in Power BI desktop. But, it doesn't work so in Power BI service. Both Manual and Scheduled reason fails for anonymous reason...

Same error for me. I checked the fiddler traffic and it appears that the api is returning the information I'm requesting through the custom connector, but Power BI Service isn't taking it in for whatever reason. Works perfectly find in Power BI Desktop. Anyone have any luck?

I'm stuck at exactly the same point. My custom connector for Google Spreadsheets works great in PowerBI Desktop, but in PowerBI Service both manual and scheduled refresh are causing problems.
I can set up the gateway connection for my uploaded report in PowerBI Service, enter my Oauth2 credentials and schedule a refresh without problems. However, at the scheduled refresh time or when manually refreshing, Service is showing the following error:

{"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Client_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Client_OAuthTokenRefreshFailedError","parameters":{},"details":[],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}

 

I'm also having a tough time finding how to resolve this. Has anybody managed to fix this?
If it helps, I can post my connector code - let me know.
