I'm trying to work with google's awareness api, and register instance of GoogleApiClient to awareness api, but i'm receiving an error which i can't find anywhere.
I've followed the manual, and enabled awareness services in the api consule. https://developers.google.com/awareness/android-api/get-started
This is how my manifest looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.awarenesstests">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.awareness.API_KEY"
android:value="MY_KEY_GENERATED_IN_THE_DEVELOPER_CONSULE" />
</application>
</manifest>
Very straightforward registration :
GoogleApiClient googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addApi(Awareness.API).build();
googleApiClient.connect();
This is the error i'm receiving - Invalid API Key for package = com.test.awarenesstests .Status code received = 6
Notice that there's something weird in the start of the log, a ping is made to google services and returning 403, it looks related to the final error.

I had the same issue. Check the applicationId in your application's build.gradle file. For me the applicationId and the package name i setted on the console.developers.google.com at my API key were not the same. I guess they have to be the same. After fixing the names it worked for me. I hope it will work for you.
