Getting idToken 'null' when using google_sign_in in Flutter

Question

I am using google_sign_in plug in.

It is working good. but I have a problem.

I need to send idToken to backend server to verify a user.

But IdToken is null from google sign in response.

code is simple

  final GoogleSignInAccount googleUser = await _googleSignIn.signIn();
  final GoogleSignInAuthentication googleAuth =
      await googleUser.authentication;
  print("Printing google user info");
  print(googleAuth.accessToken);
  print(googleAuth.idToken);
  print(googleUser.displayName);

Other properties have a correct value. but idToken is null

I googled for this and says that I need to web client id.

So I did

final _googleSignIn = GoogleSignIn(clientId: webClientId);

Can you guys help?

Am I missing something?

use flutter Cli

https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup

I faced with this Problem for two days and finally. (in my case) this solution works. https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/installation/android#installing-your-firebase-configuration-file

• adding com.google.gms:google-services as a dependency inside of the android/build.gradle

    dependencies {
      // ... other dependencies
      classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'
    }
  }
  
  

• adding apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' in /android/app/build.gradle

  apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Hi after a long time i although found a solution.

In short there was a problem with the Firebase setup, which doesn't occure because i used:

await Firebase.initializeApp(options: 
defaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform);

Which makes my code work but hide the real failure, which occurs when i just use:

await Firebase.initializeApp();

But actually the first approach is the better one but long story short.

There is something wrong with the firebase sdk setup. Follow this official tutorial for setup first: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup

Now i did not worked. But if i changed the build.gradle (root / project) from:

plugins {
  id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.4.0' apply false
}

to

plugins {
  id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.15' apply false
}

it worked. Does this make sense? For me not. Am i happy that it works now? Yes :)
