Google play game service error code 400

Question

There is an app that uses play games service, but by some reason it stops working. it looks some times i can login successfully but usually - no. if i checked API traffic there is about 10% got response code = 200, and others - 404.

methods that get 404:

• games.applications.played
• games.events.record

when i tried to check error in log i see:

3978-3978/com.google.android.play.games.ui W/SignInActivity: ==> Returning non-OK result: 10002

i not understand why there is no ID in the message "Invalid applicationId with value ." because i've added id into the application. also i've tried to change the ID, and in this case i got an error that ID XXXXXXXXXXXX not linked with app my.package.name.

also i've double checked Application ID, SHA fingerprints , re-import google-services.json also tried to add manually OAuth2 Client ID from linked apps. check play services instruction and everything looks ok. what more i can check?

Update:

tried to update play-servies to 11.8.0 and use GoogleSignInClient

 mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(application, GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_GAMES_SIGN_IN);
 activity.startActivityForResult(mGoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent(), 312);

but also got an error:

com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 4: 

Answer 1

I also had the "com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 4" on a device. Updating the Google Play Games app solved this problem for me.

Then I just had to manually click the Google Sign in button in my app. I hope this helps!

using gms_library_version '11.8.0' and the code I'm using:

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //...
    mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this, new GoogleSignInOptions
            .Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_GAMES_SIGN_IN).build());
    //...
 }



// when the button gets clicked
public void startSignInIntent() {
    startActivityForResult(mGoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent(), RC_SIGN_IN);
}


    @Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {

    if (requestCode == RC_SIGN_IN) {

        Task<GoogleSignInAccount> task =
                GoogleSignIn.getSignedInAccountFromIntent(intent);

        try {
            GoogleSignInAccount account = task.getResult(ApiException.class);
            onConnected(account);
        } catch (ApiException apiException) {
            String message = apiException.getMessage();
            if (message == null || message.isEmpty()) {
                message = getString(R.string.signin_other_error);
            }

            onDisconnected();

            new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                    .setMessage(message)
                    .setNeutralButton(android.R.string.ok, null)
                    .show();
        }
    }

    //...
  }
