I\'ve followed the tutorials on how to implement the google play game services for android and have ended up with the simple google+ sign in. I tried how ever to login befor

Answer 1

Try going to your Google+ settings on your device and purging the access that you had granted the app. Afterwards, MANUALLY set up Google+ for your test account, either through a PC/Mac web browser or through your device, then try re-linking the app. This worked for me.

Exact steps for Samsung Galaxy S3:

Settings -> Google -> Google+ -> Apps with Google+ Sign-In -> tap the app and at the bottom, tap Disconnect App.

For what it’s worth, I also tapped the option to “Delete all activity for this app” as well when I deleted it.

Answer 2

This kind of problem is usually a Client ID setup issue. There probably is a mismatch between your Client ID setup, your package name and the certificate you are using to sign the app. In any event, follow our troubleshooting guide step by step, and it should take you to the solution:

Answer 3

I managed to get my own leaderboard into production last night. The error you are describing is one that I (and judging by other comments that I have seen in error reports on SO ) and other people have also encountered. I found that I was unable to use the google account that I user in the developer console to sign on, even though it is explicitly listed as a testing account for the game. I tried shutting down the emulator etc. but I have never been able to get it to work. I used a different account and I was able to sign on. I do not know what the problem is with my developer console account - I also use it in Google Plus without problems. Incidentally, I am still unable to use my developer account on the production app with a real device.

My advice is to use a separate account for testing. Good luck !
