Access token is missing on Android when Google Play Service SDK version is 11.0.0

[adriano-di-giovanni]

accessToken field is not returned on Android when Google Play Services SDK version is 11.0.0.

As a workaround, I forked the repo and changed framework version to 10+.

I'm going to investigate in a while.

[bondzi]

Did you succeed with downgrading version to 10+? It still won't work for me, even if the version is 10.+ (10.2.6 to be exact)

[adriano-di-giovanni]

Yes, I did.

[bondzi]

Please can you specify the setup you have? I still cannot get accessToken...

[adriano-di-giovanni]

Did you try a clean Cordova app?

[Ross-Rawlins]

is this live?

[bondzi]

I managed to get the token by downgrading to 10.+ and then reinstalling the platform. Thanks

[Ross-Rawlins]

this breaks my build with:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/auth/api/signin/internal/zzm;

[Nightbr]

Same here, I'm using @bondzi fork so far

[bondzi]

Check the xml files for the plugins you use and make sure the dependencies are with the same mayor version (ex. 10.+ for Google Play Services). That may cause the issue with multidex

@Ross-Rawlins If you're still encountering that error, I've just created a plugin which contains a Gradle workaround for plugins containing conflicting versions of the Play Services library: cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release. Should hopefully fix your problem.

[madding]

I have same problem: accessToken not returned. Library: cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release not help me. Are there any other solutions for this bug ?

[adriano-di-giovanni]

You can fork the repo and change the version to 10+ Inviato da iPhone

Or cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release#v10 which does the same thing

[madding]

I forked repo, changed version and it is working now. Plugin cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release don't work for me.

Thank for help !

@adriano-di-giovanni Can you tell me which file you have changed and after changing it how did you use it with the Ionic app? I have used npm with this plugin.

[madding]

This

master...adriano-di-giovanni:master

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding Thanks.After that change how can I use it with the Ionic app.Because I normally use npm.

[madding]

I installed as
cordova plugin add https://github.com/.../cordova-plugin-googleplus --save

after in my package.json i found this
"cordova-plugin-googleplus": "git+https://github.com/.../cordova-plugin-googleplus.git",

mb it help u

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding Sorry I didn't get you.Above urls show 404 error.Please see that and correct it.Thanks.

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding We can do this originally cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus --save --variable REVERSED_CLIENT_ID=myreversedclientid.But how can I do that after changing it on my local machine?

[madding]

I hide my fork there :)

[madding]

U can do new fork or use this fork https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus too. I do new fork for me.

[Nightbr]

100% agree with @dpa99c and we use this in our app (in production):

cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release#v10

or in package.json

"cordovaPlugins": [
    {
      "locator": "https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release#v10",
      "id": "cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release"
    },
]

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@Nightbr Are you using Ionic 2 or 3 app?

[Nightbr]

@Sampath-Lokuge ionic 1.3 but ionic version doesn't matter here. It's plugin related so it's cordova matter.

to handle the cordovaPlugins into my package.json, I created an hook which will execute cordova plugin add command on all entries under cordovaPlugins.

010_install_plugins.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Install all plugins listed in package.json
/after_platform_add/install_plugins.js
 */
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var path = require('path');
var sys = require('sys');

var packageJSON = null;

try {
  packageJSON = require('../../package.json');
} catch(ex) {
  console.log('\nThere was an error fetching your package.json file.')
  console.log('\nPlease ensure a valid package.json is in the root of this project\n')
  return;
}

var cmd = process.platform === 'win32' ? 'cordova.cmd' : 'cordova';
// var script = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../node_modules/cordova/bin', cmd);

packageJSON.cordovaPlugins = packageJSON.cordovaPlugins || [];
packageJSON.cordovaPlugins.forEach(function (plugin) {

    if(typeof plugin === 'string') {
        exec('cordova plugin add ' + plugin, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
          sys.puts(stdout);
        });
    } else {
        var pluginCmd = 'cordova plugin add ' ;
        pluginCmd += plugin.locator + ' ';
        if(plugin.variables) {
            Object.keys(plugin.variables).forEach(function(variable){
                pluginCmd += '--variable ' + variable + '="' + plugin.variables[variable] + '" ';
            });
            console.log(pluginCmd)
        }
        exec(pluginCmd, function (error, stdout, stderr) {
          sys.puts(stdout);
        });
        }
});

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding You have pointed me the same this repo no? Can you please put that url inside the code block.

[madding]

   cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus --save
   "cordova-plugin-googleplus": "git+https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus.git",

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding If we use this cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus --save then it'll install same current plugin no (with no accsesToken)? How to install modified one(forked) which you have mentioned?

[madding]

sorry my mistake:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/adriano-di-giovanni/cordova-plugin-googleplus --save --variable REVERSED_CLIENT_ID=your_reserved_id

"cordova-plugin-googleplus": "git+https://github.com/adriano-di-giovanni/cordova-plugin-googleplus",

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding I have installed it correctly.But now it shows build error as shown below.Can you tell me what to do then?

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding It is working.Thank you so much for your continuous support.One question though.Can you tell me what kind of side effects will happen to my app due to this change?

[madding]

I did not see any

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding Will above fork update with the latest changes and bug fixes from the main branch or with parent repo?

[madding]

For now fork has only one difference with main repo, hopefully the bug will be fixed soon and we can install original gem

[Sampath-Lokuge]

@madding Yes, You're right.Thanks a lot :)

[Spillo17]

I guys, someone can explain me why on iOs I receive "accessToken" but on Android not ?
How can request "accessToken" also in Android ? (at the moment on android I receive the "idToken" and "serverAuthCode" )

and is only in debug, I don't have play services

thanks a lot

[alesgenova]

Using @adriano-di-giovanni repo I am able to receive again the "accessToken".
However, it breaks building the app when the AdMobPro (or free) plugin is added as well.
Is anyone aware of a solution?

[alesgenova]

So I did some reading, and it looks like Google is phasing out the accessToken for Android clients, and it might get pulled from iOS clients as well in the future.
They suggest you use the idToken instead, which is basically a JWT token that you can validate server side against Google's public keys.
I didn't want to bother with it, and instead decided to use the serverAuthCode to authenticate the user on the server side. The serverAuthCode is the equivalent of the OAuth2 "code" and I already had the infrastructure in place to use it.
If using the ionic-native plugin, in order to get the serverAuthCode you have to specify in the login options your app's "webClientID" and offline:true
With this setup I'm able to switch back to the main cordova-plugin-googleplus repository, to log in with Google both in the client and the backend, and my build doesn't break anymore when using AdMobFree / AdMobPro

[MrHOY]

Now, the orginal still not fix issue, no accessToken return

[Spillo17]

I just change the class GooglePlus.java using this https://gist.github.com/gylippus/84b85af586c6e12b034c987e8d0f564c and it works!
I hope can help you!

[MrHOY]

@Spillo17
Which one you change ? inside node_module or plugins, or both ?

[Spillo17]

@MrHOY sorry I don't specify, I change on the Android platform (I've used Android Studio)

[MrHOY]

@Spillo17 Oh, I used ionic3 and add this plugin, but no accessToken inside result

[edoardoo]

Still no news on this? I tried to revert using

cordova plugin add https://github.com/adriano-di-giovanni/cordova-plugin-googleplus --save  
"cordova-plugin-googleplus": "git+https://github.com/adriano-di-giovanni/cordova-plugin-googleplus",

but I'm not getting back any accessToken yet.

[amrsh]

I tried:

• installing cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release and setting to 10.2.6 per @dpa99c
• modifying plugin.xml to explicitly require 10.2.6 per @madding

I still do not get an accessToken. I then tried to get the accessToken from the serverAuthCode per @EddyVerbruggen , but the call always fails, for which I created a Stack Overflow question for Google here. No response yet.

So at this point I have no way whatsoever to get an accessToken on Android. @EddyVerbruggen , any pointers on what to try next?

[amrsh]

Finally managed to get the accessToken from the serverAuthCode, found that the encoding of the post wasn't correct. Especially weird since it was clear that the parameters were being recognized, yet nevertheless an error was being returned.

Still no idea why on Android the access_token suddenly stopped being returned, making this call necessary in the first place. Hopefully this will help others!
