InvalidOperationException: There was an error creating a GameServices object

[Felipessoaf]

When trying to sign in using Unity 2018.2 with GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.9.50 I get this error. (Solution #2013 did not work for me) Here is the logcat:

I/Unity(801): GooglePlayGames.Native.NativeClient:InitializeGameServices() (at \Assets\GooglePlayGames\Platforms\Native\NativeClient.cs:227) I/Unity(801): GooglePlayGames.Native.NativeClient:Authenticate(Action2, Boolean) (at \Assets\GooglePlayGames\Platforms\Native\NativeClient.cs:139) I/Unity(801): GooglePlayGames.PlayGamesPlatform:Authenticate(Action2, Boolean) (at \Assets\GooglePlayGames\ISocialPlatform\PlayGamesPlatform.cs:414) I/Unity(801): GooglePlayGames.PlayGamesPlatform:Authenticate(Action1, Boolean) (at \Assets\GooglePlayGames\ISocialPlatform\PlayGamesPlatform.cs:383) I/Unity(801): GooglePlayGames.PlayGamesP

Error starts here:

E/Unity(801): InvalidOperationException: There was an error creating a GameServices object. Check for log errors from GamesNativeSDK E/Unity(801): at GooglePlayGames.Native.PInvoke.GameServicesBuilder.Build (GooglePlayGames.Native.PInvoke.PlatformConfiguration configRef) [0x0003a] in \Assets\GooglePlayGames\Platforms\Native\PInvoke\GameServicesBuilder.cs:192 E/Unity(801): at GooglePlayGames.Native.NativeClient.InitializeGameServices () [0x0010a] in \Assets\GooglePlayGames\Platforms\Native\NativeClient.cs:229 E/Unity(801): at GooglePlayGames.Native.NativeClient.Authenticate (System.Action2 callback, Boolean silent) [0x000f7] in \Assets\GooglePlayGames\Platforms\Native\NativeClient.cs:139 E/Unity(801): at GooglePlayGames.PlayGamesPlatform.Authenticate (System.Action2 callback, Boolean silent) [0x00031] in \Assets\GooglePlayGames\ISocialPlatform\PlayGamesPlatform.cs:414

I have a similar problem, possibly even the same problem.

I get that same: "InvalidOperationException: There was an error creating a GameServices object." error. However, for me, it starts earlier.

At the very beginning of my code, in my Start(), I get an error right after I call PlayGamesClientConfiguration config = new PlayGamesClientConfiguration.Builder().Build(); The error is: 09-04 19:05:46.907 20029-20047/? E/Unity: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object I've bracketed the Builder().Build() line with Debug.Log statements. The Debug.Log above it works just fine, while the Debug.Log below it doesn't print. So as best I can tell, there is something in the Builder().Build() statement that is causing a NullReferenceException. And the failure at this point then leads to the later GameServicesObject error that you are talking about.

@Felipessoaf - Does this sound anything like what you're getting?

I'm having a similar problem too.

Using Unity 2017.4.3f1 and GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.9.50

The weird part is that it works fine for hundreds of thousands of players, but every day I receive about 5-10 bug reports with this error (stack trace from Unity - I can't get a logcat since I can't replicate the error on my devices):
