google cloud console oauth consent screen verification and oauth user cap


I'm having trouble understanding the oauth user cap. My app has no sensitive or restricted scopes requested but I'm still seeing the user cap indicator saying 7/100. The console says my app doesn't need verification. If I publish my app to the play store, will only 100 users be able to use it? How does this work? Thanks!!


Solution

  • In order to Protect users Google has given the Upcoming Policy Enforcement Notice which is to protect Google systems from abuse, apps that use OAuth and Cloud Identity have certain quota restrictions based on the risk level of the OAuth scopes an app uses.

    If your app remains unverified, the unverified app screen will be displayed before the consent screen, and your app will be limited to 100 new users until it is verified. So As per this statement from Policy Enforcement you can use only 100 users. Refer this Doc for steps to verify your app under Verification for apps Field.
