I'm trying to get an authorization token from Google+ using their sdk on Android, but it always raises an 'GoogleAuthException Unknown'
Here is the code I use :
private static final String LOGIN_SCOPES =
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login " +
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email";
protected static final String SCOPES =
"oauth2:server:client_id:" +
BuildConfig.GOOGLE_SERVER_CLIENT_ID +
":api_scope:" +
LOGIN_SCOPES;
String token = GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(
getApplicationContext(),
Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(googleApiClient),
SCOPES);
I doubled checked the client_id I got from the google console.
What is really troubling is that this code works for my staging flavor, with a staging client_id, but for my production client_id which I just created this morning, I can't make it work.
Any idea ?
I finally found out what was going wrong. I was using the android client id instead of the web one. It turns out that in this case, Google+ cannot give you more details about the error than "Unknown".
So if someone else faces this "Unknown" exception from Google+, you can start checking these two points :
