Google plus API is shutdown. What to do in ionic 3 app?


I have an ionic v3 app and I have google plus login in it. I recently got a mail from google stating "Google+ API Shutdown"(refer here for more details). Google team has also said:

  1. If you see API calls to people.get, these can be the result of using the Google+ Sign-In feature in your application, which is now fully deprecated and is being shut down. Developers should migrate from the Google+ Sign-In feature to the more comprehensive Google Sign-in authentication system.
  2. You may see OAuth requests for plus.me, even if your project is not requesting this scope directly. You only need to remove such requests if your project is directly requesting this scope.

I currently use'@ionic-native/google-plus' plugin. Can someone let me know what should I do with the google plus API in case of an ionic v3 project ?


Solution

  • I've been told (secondhand) that although the plugin is named google-plus, it no longer uses the Google Plus APIs.
