Google: Authentication failed

[gaurav112]

I am getting this issue since last 2 days trying to figure the problem but no luck.

Oops! We ran into an issue.
Authentication failed. Either you have cancelled the authentication or Google refused the connection.
Authentication failed! Google returned an invalid code 4/xDid_D2DefHLkUldAp6CCbJNzS4FoBMHRdoMzn-Nov8
400. { “error” : “invalid_request” }

so can anyone please help me out to resolve this issue.

I've managed to fix this. Seems need to update the google token_url endpoint. These are the changes that I made to make this work:

Filename: hybridauth/Hybrid/Providers/Google.php line 31:
$this->api->token_url = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token";

Filename: hybridauth/Hybrid/thirdparty/OAuth/OAuth2Client.php
add these lines:

if (strpos($this->token_url, "googleapis") !== false)
	array_push($this->curl_header, 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

Before:
$response = $this->request( $this->token_url, $params, $this->curl_authenticate_method );

Replace this line:
if($params) curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params );
With:

if($params) {
	if (in_array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', $this->curl_header))
		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($params) );
	else
		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params );
}

So how long will this take to make it to a version update, I don't want to hack the plugin, just want to have to update it

I confirm that psyntium suggested fix fixes this issue. Thank you for the fix and the very clear instructions.

No need to edit plugin. You need to enable Google + API to make it work.
