Google third app (testing) keeps dropping connection with google account

I`ve created google app (currently in testing mode, not published) to use it to connect to google calendar (my pet project, like calendly), so google keeps droping connection after a while (after week).

And when I try to use my code, I am getting this error: "refresh token must be passed in or set as part of setAccessToken"

I use Laravel 10, and google api package.

Need some explanation about this current situation, maybe google removes connection if it is in testing mode.

Solution

  • refresh tokens for apps in testing are only good for a week. After a week authorization is reset and you need to authorize the app again.

    just put it into production and they will stop expiring.
