google signIn not working in release mode apk android

Question

In release mode, my google sign-in is not working, but it works fine in debug mode. I got a similar question from SO here, but I didn't get perfect solutions.

My handleSignInResult is coming false - How can this be fixed?

Answer 1

Yesterday same problem occurred to me.

Google has released a new signing service in playstore publish console in which google will signin your app with his keystore. After signing , it will give you a new SHA which you have to add in your firebase account.

Answer 2

When you upload app on play store

After signing , it will give you a new SHA which you have to add in your firebase account.

Its Working HAPPY Coding Cheers

Add new SHA1 in https://console.firebase.google.com

Create Release SHA1 using Command Line

keytool -list -v -keystore "E:\Jsk_file\healthNickel" -alias healthNickel

keytool -list -v -keystore "E:\Jsk_file\YOUR_JKS_FILE_NAME" -alias YOUR_JKS_ALIAS_NAME

Enter keystore Password :- YOUR_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD

Step 5) then it will give details regarding keystore like SHA1,SHA256,MD5 etc.

Step 6) Enter SHA1 as fingerprint and give packagename which is in manifest file

step 7) Click create you will get new OAuth client ID

step 13) now download new google-services.json file (as it conatins new client id ,certificate_hash etc)

step 14) paste that google-services.json file in app folder in your android project.

step 15) You are good to go...
