Authenticate doesn't work at all.

[PenguinsFly]

Hey everyone, I have followed every step and I made a simple script for the very first scene and that scene doesn't have anything else but this script and the camera.

Here's the script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using GooglePlayGames;
using UnityEngine.SocialPlatforms;

public class GooglePlay : MonoBehaviour {

    void Start () {  
        PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();           
        Social.localUser.Authenticate((bool success) => {
            if (success) {
                Application.LoadLevel("First Scene");
            } else {
                Debug.Log("Something else happened");
            } 
        });
    }
}

The issue is, it doesn't authenticate NOR even ask my device to choose an account to log in. Nothing pops up but my the blank screen from the first scene and probably calling the Debug.Log function I've put at the else statement.

What did I do wrong?

[claywilkinson]

Can you post the log file? It will definitely have some clues about what is going on.

[PenguinsFly]

How and where can I find or get the log file?

Apologies, I'm still very new at this.

Hello,

I have the similar problem. The log file :

Please note, my code works as it should with the previous 0.9.15 version of GPGP.

Hope you will help me.

[tyrmullen]

@larykUI: It looks like you are missing some of the required Google Play Services library classes. If your code works with the previous version of GPGP then this is probably because you need to update to a newer version of the GPS library. This is consistent with the error you are seeing, since the "nearby" classes were newly added.

[claywilkinson]

This line GooglePlayGames.BasicApi.DummyClient:Authenticate indicates that you are running this in the editor. Google Play Games can only run on a device. The DummyClient is just a placeholder, but does not actually do anything.

[PenguinsFly]

Yeah, I was aware of that. But if I build the game and put it on my android device, it does nothing at all.

"Nothing pops up but my the blank screen from the first scene and probably calling the Debug.Log function I've put at the else statement." <-- This happens on my android device.

[claywilkinson]

Can you get the log when the app is running on your device? You can run adb logcat from a terminal window. All the details on logcat are at: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html Then we'll know for sure :)

[PenguinsFly]

I will try doing that later as soon as I'm home.. I'm still inexperienced with this logcat thingy so I'll have to learn it for awhile.

[PenguinsFly]

Hiya! I was able to figure out how to do it and now I found these lines: http://pastebin.com/kqwvpQBx

Hope it helps :disappointed:

[claywilkinson]

@PenguinsFly - great! it does help :)

Not being able to register these classes indicates that the Android SDK is not up to date. Make sure you have the Google Play Services SDK installed (in SDK Manager scroll down to the "Extras" section). Once you have that, rebuild your app.

[PenguinsFly]

Yup. I've made sure I have them updated before building the game.

Here's a screenshot of it: http://puu.sh/hEN4s/0b15d1c509.png

Anything wrong?

[claywilkinson]

Hmm. Check that the Android SDK is pointing to where the SDK is installed, are there other messages in the log before it cannot register those classes?

[PenguinsFly]

W/SensorService(  998): sensor 5f616363 already enabled in connection 0x56d35918 (ignoring)

These are before the log on the pastebin.com link.

[claywilkinson]

What version of Android are you running on your device and which version of Google Play Services is installed. You can tell the version by dragging the "Google Settings" application to the AppInfo at the top of the screen.

[PenguinsFly]

On my phone, it's 4.4.2 android and version 7.3.29.

This issue also occurs on my android emulator on my computer(bluestacks).

[claywilkinson]

The emulator will not have google play services installed - does it work on your phone?

[PenguinsFly]

Nope, it doesn't work. I got the logs from my phone.

[Boogscraft]

Not sure if you checked this yet, but in Unity, under Edit-> Preferences, External Tools, make sure the Android SDK path is set right. I believe the the default path for windows is now \Users[User]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk on the System drive, but that might vary.

[claywilkinson]

One other long shot is maybe you have multiple copies of the SDK installed, and the SDK manager is updating one version, and the preferences are pointing to another?

[PenguinsFly]

I just checked them out now and they're all set to the correct ones. Would re installing SDK help?

[Boogscraft]

I'm not sure if this would cause the issues above, but also check in Unity under Google Play Games -> Android Setup that your Application ID is set there correctly. You can find the ID in the Google Play Developer Console, under Game Services (the gamepad icon). When you select your Game from that list, the ID is under its Name and Icon in the upper left.

[PenguinsFly]

Hmm. So I tried putting the ID again and I'm getting this message: http://puu.sh/hEXrS/8c366f79bd.png

I think there's a problem with my plugin in general. What do you guys think?

[Boogscraft]

The slashes in that path that it is trying to copy from looks off: D:/SDK\extras\google....

[PenguinsFly]

For some reason, it is. It's the same at my Preference: http://puu.sh/hEY7w/4541e36d6c.png

I tried changing it back and it's still like that. Is it an issue?

[Boogscraft]

Probably not, it's likely just a display issue then. Can you confirm that the file it's looking for exists in the path it's trying? If it does, I would probably go the route of removing the SDK folder and using the Manager to redownload it.

[PenguinsFly]

Omg, I've put them on a folder... I wonder if it helps if I set them to their default place...

[claywilkinson]

Assets/Plugins is a "magic" name that Unity uses. Is that the one you are referring to?

[PenguinsFly]

Importing the Google Play Services Plugin in Unity gives me 2 folders inside the asset folder and that is the GooglePlayGames folder and the Plugins folder. I've put them on a different folder After configuring things so I think that is the issue...

[PenguinsFly]

It worked somehow now! I was finally able to see the sign in authenticating part(phew!) but now, the problem is, it's not authenticating.

[claywilkinson]

great! that is progress :) if you reinstalled the plugin, you'll need to re-run the Android setup. Also check the appId and bundle ID in the play console match what you have configured in your unity project. Finally, check the user id you are logging in as is a tester for the game in the play console.

[PenguinsFly]

OMG! That worked! Adding the tester account for the game thing. I've been logging in as a different account.

Everything is working perfectly now.

Thank you everyone so much for helping me. I've been very frustrated about this for a week now. I feel so relieved! Slightly embarrassed about how my mistakes are this rookie level though. But np!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[claywilkinson]

Great News! We've all been there - Best of luck in your development.

[ghost]

Happened the same to me and after reading this thread the solution was: -> Update the Android SDK Google Play Services package to a version >=r23 -> Go to Window | Google Play Games | Setup | Android Setup... and click on Setup (this will update the local copy of the library) -> Rebuild
