client_id for mobile app connecting to wordpress api

    Hi:
    I am connecting a mobile app to a wordpress.com site. The app is build with ionic, and the wordpress.com site is private, in case that is relevant. I am trying to authenticate the app. In the wordpress docs (here https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/) they say that my app needs a (i) client_id and also a (ii) “client_secret_key”.

    How can I get these for a mobile app?

    It looks like I have to create or register my app. The only link I can find for that is the “applications manager”, at https://developer.wordpress.com/apps/. But the required entries on that site seem geared toward normal websites, not apps. For example, that site requires a url and a redirect url, which does not seem applicable to mobile.
