I know there are similar questions here already, but none of them contained a proper solution to this issue.

I have a libgdx project with enabled Google Play Games Services and matching SHA1 fingerprints. This problem happens after submitting the first score to a leaderboard, after this, the leaderboard can not be displayed anymore and the request returns this error:

Hope someone can help. I am really desperate right now :(

PS: using Google Play App Signing - might that be a problem?

I already deleted all access details for this app in Google API Projects and re-linked the app twice - with my own SHA1 key and additionally with the Google Play App Signing SHA1. Didn't help :(

Finally gave up.

Instead I changed the package name and released the app as a new one, used new keystores and a new play game service.

Now it works.
