Flutter and google_sign_in plugin: PlatformException(sign_in_failed, com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 10: , null)

Question

The dialog (Google form) for the credentials is opened successfully, but after I fill my credentials I'm getting this error. I followed the instructions from here. Created a Firebase project, enabled the Google Drive API (that's what I need for now) from the Google APIs Console.

The code throwing the exception:

final GoogleSignIn _googleSignIn = GoogleSignIn(
  scopes: [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
  ],
);

await _googleSignIn.signIn();

That's the stack trace:

The version of the google_sign_in plugin is 4.0.0.

That's the output of flutter doctot -v:

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I run into the same issue just now. This might happens if you are running on debug and you did not register a SHA fingerprint in firebase. I solved it by generating a debug.keystore and registering it inside the app on Firebase. Don't forget to download the new google-services.json after that. See also this.

Edit If you are not able to use authenticate in release mode try the following:

-Add the SHA certificate fingerprints of the release key.

keytool -exportcert -list -v \ -alias <your-key-name> -keystore <path-to-production-keystore>

For more details on that see here on the section "get release certificate" https://developers.google.com/android/guides/client-auth

If your authentication is still not working, probably it is because you downloaded the app from Playstore and you enabled the "App Signing by Google Play Feature" Then for this case, go to play store publish console and go to app signing under release management. There you will find the SHA certificate fingerprint to register in Firebase console.

I spent ages trying to fix this.

1. Open grade.properties This file is found under: {{YOUR PROJECT}}/android/gradle.properties

2. Add the following argument to 'org.gradle.jvmargs' as shown in the screenshot.

-XX:MaxHeapSize=256m -Xmx256m

3. Right click on 'gradlew' and go to 'Open in Terminal' This file is found under {{YOUR PROJECT}}/android/gradlew

4. Type in the following command.

gradlew signingReport

If did not work first try second command:

./gradlew signingReport

5. Wait for the compilation to finish and your SHA keys should be printed out for you.

Use these keys to authenticate your app in https://console.firebase.google.com/
