GLS error: INVALID_AUDIENCE in google cloud endpoints

Question

I am trying to get an google endpoints to work.I created an endpoint service and was able to test that its working fine through Google API exploer. I then generated the android client and tryied to call my endpoint service. I see this error in the log,

04-05 08:48:20.547: I/GLSUser(13505): GLS error: INVALID_AUDIENCE [email protected] audience:server:client_id:334082396285-hfn3t2g5pg0gv8fshf22kaadq9fs23e2.apps.googleusercontent.com

Here is my android java code to build the credential i.e used to access my service,

AUDIENCE = "server:client_id:334082396285-hfn3t2g5pg0gv8fshf22kaadq9fs23e2.apps.googleusercontent.com";
credential = GoogleAccountCredential.usingAudience(this, AUDIENCE);
            setAccountName(settings.getString(PREF_ACCOUNT_NAME, null));

It looks like there is some mismatch in client_id. Here is what I did,

1) Created 2 client_ids in Google APIs console in one API project, a) WEB_CLIENT_ID = I created a client_id for web applications with Redirect URIs = None & JavaScript origins = None. b) ANDROID_CLIENT_ID = Created a client_id for android app with package name & sha1 certificate fingerprint.

2) Then used these in my endpoint service in python,

@endpoints.api(name='devices',
               version='v1',
               description='Service to register devices',
               allowed_client_ids=[ANDROID_CLIENT_ID,WEB_CLIENT_ID,endpoints.API_EXPLORER_CLIENT_ID],
               audiences = [WEB_CLIENT_ID])

Have already seen similar threads and they didn't help, Google Api and android Oauth INVALID_AUDIENCE error

Answer 1

I solve this issue setting a name for the project in the google api console.

In the new UI API console in [APIs & auth] --> [Consent screen]
