GoogleApiClient: onConnectionFailed:ConnectionResult{statusCode=RESOLUTION_REQUIRED

Question

EDIT: It is working perfectly fine on my tablet and another phone. So the issue is related to the device. Any ideas? I already reinstalled all google play related apps multiple times with no success :/

When I try to connect the GoogleApiClient I always get

onConnectionFailed:ConnectionResult{statusCode=RESOLUTION_REQUIRED, resolution=PendingIntent{13c5b37: android.os.BinderProxy@e07c8a4}, message=null}

When I run

connectionResult.startResolutionForResult(this, RC_RESOLUTION);

the Intent data is null.

I'm pretty lost here what is going wrong here and what RESOLUTION_REQUIRED actually means in this context.

Maybe this helps: If I try the same with the Drive.API I get a SIGN_IN_REQUIRED error which seems to be a much more common error.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Alright so after I struggled for like two days it turns out I got it fixed by reinstalling the google play services and the google play store. I came to realize this after I got the program run on two different devices without issues...

Also ensure the following:

Google API: I registered my debug and my release certificate as Open Auth2 (SHA-1)

Google Play: I connected the game in the "PlayServices" with the package name of my game

Google-Services.json: Is copied into the app folder and contains all my certificates (SHA-1)

Tester: I'm registered as tester
