Checking the app logs on our side, could be related to some connectivity issue but I could be wrong.

Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: Upon request, this is how we build the GoogleApiClient (and required options)

    GoogleSignInOptions.Builder gsoBuilder = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_SIGN_IN)
            .requestScopes(
                    new Scope("profile"),
                    new Scope("email"),
                    new Scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me")
            )
            .requestProfile()
            .requestServerAuthCode(this._config.getGoogleClientId(), true);

    this._googleApi = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())
            .enableAutoManage(getActivity(), new OnConnectionErrorListener())
            .addApi(Auth.GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_API, gsoBuilder.build())
            .build();

Do you have added GET_ACCOUNTS permission?
