Getting Developer Error even after putting everything in place in release mode (Android)

[Ragnar-23]

Info

React native google signIn is working fine in debug mode.
But google siginIn is not working in release mode, its giving DEVELOPER_ERROR code 10.
I have added both debug and release certificates on firebase console, everything is checked.

But still I am getting DEVELOPER_ERROR. Do we need to add SHA1 from playstore also for release mode (apk generated using ./gradlew assembleRelease)?

Maybe you turned on Google Play Signature in Play Market. This feature replaces your certificate by auto-generated by Google.
You can find it at the Play Console on the page 'App signature'. You can download deployment certificate or just copy-paste fingerprints MD5, SHA1, etc.
Copy SHA1 to Firebase Console App settings Android app.

PS. Also, it works for Facebook sign in. Download the certificate and do something like this:

cat ~/Downloads/deployment_cert.der | openssl sha1 -binary | openssl base64

to get hash to use with Facebook application settings

PS. I'm not a contributor. I'm also dev. :)

I'm having the same problem

Same problem

I'm having same problem.

I have used a webClientId which I put to the whitelisted client ids in firebase console inside google login. But still it gives me DEVELOPER_ERROR. If I use my debug keystore, the login works because I have added the SHA1 of debug keystore in firebase console. But I cannot add the SHA1 of release keystore because it is already used in another project which I have lost access to. So I have created a new web client and added its id to the firebase google login whitelist and using the same inside the app. But still getting DEVELOPER_ERROR

[usmansbk]

I use this package every year and every year I have to come back here. Lol

[usmansbk]

If you're still having this problem try this solution #706 (comment)

[abhilash-behera]

@usmansbk your solution did not help. I have already added the correct SHA1 to firebase. I am not using the default debug keystore. I have created my own and added the SHA1 to firebase. When I build the app using this keystore it works fine. But when I do the same with another keystore it does not work even after whitelisting the web client id

[stanica]

Just started getting this problem too. Everything seems to be configured correctly, including SHA1.

[rnnyrk]

Can't seem to solve this issue. I have two custom keystores setup.
What I did:

1. Exported the SHA-1 with keytool -exportcert -alias KEYSTORE_ALIAS -keystore KEYSTORE_PATH and inserted this to my dev and prod app in Firebase
2. Also on https://console.developers.google.com/ I have two OAuth 2.0-client-ID's with the correct package names and SHA-1 fingerprints
3. Copied the webClientId from Firebase Console > Authentication > GoogleSignIn and added it before the signin with Google.Configure
4. My Android build buildTypes are as following:

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            debuggable true
            productFlavors.dev.signingConfig signingConfigs.dev
            productFlavors.prod.signingConfig signingConfigs.prod
        }
        release {
            debuggable false
            minifyEnabled enableProguardInReleaseBuilds
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            proguardFiles fileTree(dir: "${project.rootDir}/proguard_libs", include: ["*.pro"]).asList().toArray()
            productFlavors.dev.signingConfig signingConfigs.dev
            productFlavors.prod.signingConfig signingConfigs.prod
        }
    }

5. Downloaded my latest google-services.json
6. Ran ./gradlew clean and adb uninstall com.packagename
7. npm run android

Still the same DEVELOPER_ERROR.
I'm really out of options.. Anyone suggestions?

[usmansbk]

Always check the version to debug-keystore SHA you generated. I think there's one in the android/ folder of the project and there's ~/android of the whole system.

[kushavi2509]

No matters weather you are using a firebase or NOT you have to have both the configurations (Android as well as Web client )

//DeveloperError or any login error
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating#next_steps

Click on Configure a prioject
Select the project.
Fille the required fields.
Voylla, you are good to go.

[SanjanaTailor]

I am facing same developer_error since I am using android React native app to complete google singin.
Also, I am not using Firebase to login
I created both OauthCilent android and Web client 2 and giving same id here to signin

GoogleSignin.configure ({
      webClientId: '***.apps.googleusercontent.com',
})

also to create SHA-1 for android used this command to C:\Users\satailor\Documents\ReactNative_workspace\App>keytool -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:\Users\satailor\Documents\ReactNative_workspace\app\android\app\debug.keystore
and copied SHA-1 and added in google cloud console for same.

Inside Android folder following changes are added:
settings.gradle file
include ':react-native-google-signin', ':app'

android/build.gradle file included following lines:

buildscript {
 ext {
     googlePlayServicesAuthVersion = "17.0.0"
}

dependencies { 
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'} 

Help me to resolve an issue. Let me know any other information required.

Is there currently any solution to this problem? As many of you, I am struggling with the same problem. Everything is in place but I still get DEVELOPER_ERROR.

[shivanshr]

Please help with this issue, I have tried everything available on the git and stack-overlow for this issue.
All of the information cross checked twice, fingerprints, etc, created and deleted project twice.

[shivanshrajpoot]

If you are using firebase & still looking for solutions:

1. Please match your key fingerprint in firebase console.

2. Do not initialize the configuration with keys, I repeat, do not provide any configuration object in the .configure() function
   Do this GoogleSignIn.configure().

3. Point 2 will resolve the issue. :)

Not having an argument will throw to me
Must specify an idToken or an accessToken.

[vonovak]

closing because this is not an issue with the library but with the app setup / environment. Thanks

[Ruwa353]

Nice work

[deserthurricane]

I use Firebase signin approach. It requires using webClientId param in configure method. That is enough for iOS and some Android (for example, Huawei) devices.
But, according to my experience, most Android devices fail without offlineAccess: true param. Adding it resolved this issue for me.

[JordaoViktor]

Must specify an idToken or an accessToken.

how did you solved?

@shivanshrajpoot ,then where else to provide this configuration like

{ webClientId: Constants.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID_WEB, scopes: scopesToUse, offlineAccess: true, hostedDomain: '', forceConsentPrompt: true, accountName: '', forceCodeForRefreshToken: true, }

Please

Hi @AleeFarook , It's been quite a lot of time since I wrote this comment, but the configuration is automatically picked up from the config file that you download from console. If you reinitialise with a config object then it does not uses the config from the file.

[shivansh-rajpoot-vas]

Hi Everyone, this issue is because of how configure is called for different platforms, this has been there for a lot of time and wasted a lot of time of others as well, If I had know that this will frighten the people for so long I would have created the PR my self, but here's one PR that someone create to fix this. check this may be fork it for temporary solution. #1003

Hi @shivansh-rajpoot-vas, your solution was worked without the configuration object but I my case I was require the serverAuthCode which I was getting null, so after some trouble the solution I found that:

` await GoogleSignin.hasPlayServices({ showPlayServicesUpdateDialog: true });

  const config = {
    offlineAccess: true,
    forceCodeForRefreshToken: true,
    webClientId: Constants.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID_WEB,
  };

  GoogleSignin.configure(config);

  const userInfo = await GoogleSignin.signIn();
  // console.log('GoogleSignin userInfo=====', userInfo);
  const token = await GoogleSignin.getTokens();
  // console.log('GoogleSignin token=====', token);

`
And I was missing the sign in api key which i get from services config file and set in android manifest:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.API_KEY" android:value="API_key"/>

and add sign method of google sign in Authentication module in Firebase from side menu.

now the solution worked

and Thanks @shivansh-rajpoot-vas for quick response.
