'com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient' is deprecated

Question

I\'m using in my app Google sign-in method and I have updated today my dependencies to:

implementation \"com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.1.0\"
implement         


        

Answer 1

Yeah GoogleApiClient has been deprecated.

As per the documentation:

When you want to make a call to one of the Google APIs provided in the Google Play services library (such as Google Sign-in and Drive), you need to create an instance of one the API client objects, which are subclasses of GoogleApi

Particularly for the authentication api, you now need to use GoogleSignInClient.

    // Configure sign-in to request the user's ID, email address, and basic
    // profile. ID and basic profile are included in DEFAULT_SIGN_IN.
    GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
            .requestEmail()
            .build();

    // Build a GoogleSignInClient with the options specified by gso.
    mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this, gso);

You may refer following documentations for more details:

• Integrating Google Sign-In into Your Android App
• Moving Past GoogleApiClient

Answer 2

GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN).build();
GoogleSignInClient mGoogleSignInClient = GoogleSignIn.getClient(this, gso);
GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient = mGoogleSignInClient.asGoogleApiClient();

There is a nice article on why you should move on from GoogleApiClient as it has several pitfalls. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/11/moving-past-googleapiclient_21.html
