Hi! Well that's actually what I meant, I was referring to packaged applications.
However, you *can* actually make it work by using the Token flow outlined in https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/auth#token and combining it with a static page hosted at the registered redirect uri (no actual server-side logic is needed, just some clever client js to extract the returned token from the url hash and postMessage it back to the app). Still, that requires a "server-side" component, although static in nature.
