App Invites for Android: Message failed to send with missing container client ID

Question

I am trying to integrate new Google Play Services api "App Invites for Android". I followed all the steps as per guide and generated the gogole-services.json file. But when I send an invite to a selected friend via SMS or Email, I get the same error everytime.

Message failed to send

on ADB log getting this:

E/AppInviteAgent﹕ generic::13: generic::INTERNAL: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Request must associate a valid container client application ID.

Now it seems my app is missing some sort of client app ID but not getting any clue how to configure it.

Answer 1

This happens because you used the SHA1 fingerprint from your release key. But the build you test is signed with the android debug key.
