Question Google Play Authentication

Hello!

Im trying to authenticate the user from Google Play.
I’m using GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.11.01.

I used debug and production keys, tried web one nothing seems to work.

With debug key I can login to Google, get player id, but when trying pass token to

SignInWithGoogleAsync(string idToken) I get Request failed: 401, PERMISSION_DENIED.

Are there any examples how to do it with 0.11.01?
Thanks!

 

Thank you for a reply!

I have everything setup like that. Web id and successful connection. I get the token via PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.RequestServerSideAccess, and when I pass it to SignInWithGoogleAsync, i get 401 permission denied.

 

Sure, I bet this is horrible

Code (CSharp):

1. internal void ProcessAuthentication(SignInStatus status)
2.         {
3.             String c;
4.             if (status == SignInStatus.Success)
5.             {
6.                 // Continue with Play Games Services
7.                 //  print(PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserId());
8.  
9.                 PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.RequestServerSideAccess(
10.    /* forceRefreshToken= */ false,
11.                 code => {
12.                     Debug.Log(c);
13.                      SignInWithGoogleAsync(c);
14.  
15.                 });
16.             }
17.             else
18.             {
19.                 // Disable your integration with Play Games Services or show a login button
20.                 // to ask users to sign-in. Clicking it should call
21.                 // PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.ManuallyAuthenticate(ProcessAuthentication).
22.                 print("no");
23.             }
24.         }

 

I've got the same problem.The new version of GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.11.01 seems like change methods a lot of it's api.There is no longer "GetIdToken()" method in class PlayGamesLocalUser.
Is that means we can't get IDToken of Google Play sign-in any more, and unity authentication don't support GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.11.01 yet.
Or if we can use PlayGamesLocalUser.id instead of PlayGamesLocalUser.GetIdToken() to pass to SignInWithGoogleAsync(idToken)? I don't know.

 

Yeah, this. There is no more GetIdToken in 0.11.01.

 

OK, and thx for your response.

 

Been having issues for weeks, going to try downgrading. Hope this gets fixed soon

 

That's all right. I'll downgrade temporary.

 

@EllieF_Unity Any updates on supporting the current GooglePlayGamesPlugin?

Support of the new token id / code that comes back from

Code (CSharp):

1. PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.RequestServerSideAccess()

 

Seeing same issue, Is there any updates to this?

 

Where will we be able to see the new SDK once it gets through the release pipeline? Looking at the release notes I don't see it for Unity yet unfortunately.

Hello has this been resolved?

 

Hello, I can't find the 2.1/2.2 version in package manager, only 2.0 there, I'm using Unity 2021.3.5f1

Thanks

 

Manually import them via the package managers plus icon in the top left and typing com.unity.services.authentication and the version 2.2.0.

It is well possible that they were not yet available and thus not detectable in that version.

 

I still seem to be getting the same issues with authentication 2.2.0 plugin v0.11.01

 

I was able to sign in with Google Play Games Services the first time. But how do I stop automatic autherization on app start up after it has been signed in once. Edit: I found out that the devs for the GPGS plugin removed the SignOut(); method. After signing in once, it will automatically sign in everytime the user opens up the app. Appearently, the app user can go into settings and sign themselves out, this is why, so I tried this, and I couldn't find a way even with the instructions on how to sign out.
Second, how can I log-in with regular Google log-in if my app is not a game, or if my app is for desktop or web versions, because getting the Session Token is only possible with the plug-in, that works only on android. Furthermore, I was unable to sign in with just Google on android even, while using the Unity docs guide for logging in with just google. I was given an invalid request error. 401. Even though I was able to sign in with Google Play Games. Edit: since I could not sign out of GPGS, I can't test the above.

I am facing same issue
Im using Authentication 2.2.0 and Google Play Games Plugin for Unity 0.11.01.
Please help me with that

 

Could you also help with understanding difference between Google sign in option with using Google Play Games plugin for Unity v10.14 and below which uses Play Games Services v1 SDK (description here) vs GooglePlayGames sign in option with using Google Play Games plugin for Unity v11.01 and above which recommends using Play Games Services v2 SDK (description here).

Because for me it seems like Unity just took two versions of the same library and named them differently. First it was just Google Play Games sign in (which actually they renamed to just Google) and the usage was the same as now in Google. I implemeted that old Google sign in with Authentication service - 1.0.0-pre.37 and it worked as Google Play Games and now they making it as Google sign in.

My main question is: what's changed or is it the same approach but using different versions of Google Play Games plugin for compatibility? Should I move to the newest one and the functioning would be the same?

P.S. My old version Google Play Games plugin started to failed on build because of:

Assets\AssetStore\GooglePlayGames\OurUtils\PlatformUtils.cs(34,39): error CS0246:

The type or namespace name 'AndroidJavaObject' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

or

Assets\AssetStore\GooglePlayGames\OurUtils\PlatformUtils.cs(33,30): error CS0246:

The type or namespace name 'AndroidJavaClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

Only now there is no idToken, but there is AuthCode and these are different entities. Now it is not possible to get the same identifier. How to make it all compatible is now not clear.

 

Thanks for you want your teams hard work, and thanks for the updates!

 

hello there, how are you doing ?
i'm still have this issue since 5 days and is becoming very stressfull. I'm wondering why google team made this connection, authentication and setup of leaderboards etc so complicated.
please take look at the google sitekit component for wordpress, this is an interesting way to integrate feature to a platform. rather then copy and past sha1 and using shell with the key tool. this is very annoying for an end user.

this playgames sdk must be tied up with unity services and with few clicks able to set up all necessary. this is what i'm expecting with the version 3 and must be done very quickly. Playgames are around since long time and i'm so disappointed to come and see that google developers implement a such complicated plugin.

i hope and wish in a ver 3 done in the right way.

I got the same issue.
I was following the Google Play Game Services document and then following the Unity Authentication document, but my Android App still could not sigin to GPGS.
The debug information just till "Social.localUser.Authenticate(OnGooglePlayGamesLogin);" or "PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate(success =>". It means after call the authenticate function the app never get result.

I use Unity 2022.1.22f1 and try on both Google Plugins such as 0.10.14 and 0.11.01.

I found in Google Play Console Pre-launch report, an crashes and ANRs occured:

ANR

errorErrorbrightness_1 Issue 1 of 1  brightness_ 1 Detected on 1 device during testing

Stack trace:



ANR in com.google.android.apps.messaging;PID: 13731;Broadcast of Intent { act=android.accounts.LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_CHANGED flg=0x5000010 cmp=com.google.android.apps.messaging/com.google.apps.tiktok.account.data.device.DeviceAccountsChangedReceiver_Receiver };

I don't know is it reasonable for my Unity Android auto sigin failed.

 

Can someone point to the documentation that outlines the "need to have a Game Server credential configured in addition to the Android credential so that you can send the token to a 3rd party server (Unity Authentication in this case)".

I'm able to log in to GPGS, but I'm not able to link that sign in to my Unity AuthenticationService. I've combed through the documentation and only found a reference to needing the Game Server credential configured in this thread...

 

hi everyone , here the awnser that work in me , this is mi code to autenticate

public void LoginGooglePlayGames()
{
PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate((success) =>
{
if (success == SignInStatus.Success)
{
Debug.Log("Login with Google Play games successful.");

PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.RequestServerSideAccess(true, code =>
{
Debug.Log("Authorization code: " + code);

// This token serves as an example to be used for SignInWithGooglePlayGames
});
}
else
{

Debug.Log("Login Unsuccessful");
}
});
}
private void Awake()
{
PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();
LoginGooglePlayGames();
}
after this just see the video , this work for me

 

This integration is such an absolute dog show. I have also been struggling for DAYS to get this to work with no success. I honestly at this stage feel like I'm going around in circles and am at the point of abandoning Unity.

1. Why is a Web App Client ID required?
2. Where does one get a Web App Client ID? Google Play Games plugin says generate in the Developer Console (really? Why?)
3. Why does the Unity documentation and Google Play Games plugin documentation only refer to this in the most vague manner?
4. Why does the Unity documentation for setting up a Google Play Game sign-in not note that the Authentication package needs to be installed?
5. Will all of this work WITHOUT needing a project setup on the Developer Console? (how do I get the Web App Client ID if this doesnt work, which Unity says I need to have?)
6. In Player Settings, what needs to be ticked in order for this bollocks to work? Release/Debug/Custom Proguard? Why?
7. Why does it NOT work when building to local device but sign-in (only) DOES work when downloading from internal test track?
8. Why does the Unity documentation refer to "Google Play Services" while the Authentication package refers to "Google Play Games" - is this a legitimate difference, or just another outdated unity page??
9. Are updates to Google Play Games required from the Android SDK and/or what version of the JDK is required, if these were both installed WITH Unity. It's not clear.

The problem with a lot of the above is you could go on your own adventure to sort this out, as many of us are, and just dig a the hole even deeper by breaking something else.

The last time I released a mobile game using Google Play was in November 2020, and back then it was a disaster to get this integration working. It's hard to believe that in TWO YEARS it only seems to have gotten more complicated, more unclear and more unreliable. Unity is a big company and a lot of people are going to be wanting to deploy to mobile, but these are the hoops we have to waste time with because there is NO CLARITY on a) what you really need b) what isn't supported right now or any of the above 8 items. I appreciate that maybe you do have answers to these items but they are very hard to find (I have been looking guys). This really needs to get better please. You're not an indie company - you're a listed corporate. Get someone to figure this out, and write a comprehensive, up-to-date document that covers everything you need, every minimum version, every path variable, all the unsupported stuff etc. for a given Unity project. Please!
