application id is not associated with package while signing in google play?

Question

As title says, I encounter this problem. Documentation says to do this:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.APP_ID"
android:value="@string/app_id" />

I had done and my app_id is 12 digits. Other people getting this similar error was their app_id s were more than 12 digits. But mine is 12. However, it does not work, I cant sign in. Error also says check your manifest. I have checked and it is the same as above. Why is application id ,which i got it from google play console, not associated with my package name? Do i have to do something with sha1 key? (I am now in th alpha test)

Regards

Answer 1

I also received this error and fixed it by adding one of my tester accounts to the Google Play Services list of testers for the app.

The account I had on the tablet was not in the list of permitted tester accounts in the Google Play Console.

Once I had done this, I was able to connect with no issues.

For reference my app_id entry looks like this :-

        <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
        android:value="@string/app_id"/>

you must also check that users gmail id is added in testing or not ? if not then add it to Play Console -> Game Services -> Testing
