                .requestEmail()
                .build()

        val mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this, gso)
        val account = GoogleSignIn.getLastSignedInAccount(this)
        if(account != null){
            Log.e("!!!", account.email)

    }

    public override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)

        // Result returned from launching the Intent from GoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent(...);
        if (requestCode == 0) {
            // The Task returned from this call is always completed, no need to attach
            // a listener.
            val task = GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(data)
            handleSignInResult(task)
        }
    }

    private fun handleSignInResult(completedTask: Task<GoogleSignInAccount>) {
        try {
            val account = completedTask.getResult(ApiException::class.java)

            // Signed in successfully, show authenticated UI.
            Log.e("!!!", account.email)
        } catch (e: ApiException) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }

    }

Answer 1

I had the same problem, start activity result kept coming back with RESULT_CANCELED and errorCode 16. The problem was my client configuration in Google Cloud Platform Console. I was using the regular debug and release api key. The result came back OK when I used web application as my Google Console configuration.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

I am developing an Android application using Flutter, tried to integrate Google Sign In and faced the same problem with ApiException: 16 and SIGN_IN_FAILED (instead of RESULT_CANCELED).

Application type on Firebase was set to android.

In my case, after many hours of debugging, it turned out to be a wrong SHA-1 problem.

As soon as I extracted the SHA-1 key from my project and updated Firebase console, it worked.
