Signing in using the GPGS roboPods does not use a webview

[ebbybeh]

I have managed to successfully sign in using the roboPods but have not been able to get the sign in to happen via a webview. Instead the app redirects to the Google+ app which has resulted in an instant rejection by Apple in the past. I have followed this: https://developers.google.com/games/services/ios/quickstart and have gone through the robopod sample (though it was not as helpful as my project is a LibGDX project and following the sample led to a host of errors).

I am honestly stumped. Here is what I have:

In the main build file under ios, I have added:

compile "org.robovm:robopods-google-play-games-ios:1.12.0"
compile "org.robovm:robopods-google-signin-ios:1.12.0"

In the main launcher file I have:

@Override
public void didBecomeActive(UIApplication application) {
    if(GameConstants.LOG_ENABLED)Foundation.log("***Did become active");
    GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().setUiDelegate(this);
    super.didBecomeActive(application);
}

and

@Override
public void willDispatch(GIDSignIn signIn, NSError error) { 
    if(GameConstants.LOG_ENABLED)Foundation.log(***will Dispatch***Error: " + error);   
}

@Override
public void presentViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
    if(GameConstants.LOG_ENABLED)Foundation.log("***present View Controller");
}

@Override
public void dismissViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
    if(GameConstants.LOG_ENABLED)Foundation.log("***dismiss View Controller");
}

(Note: none of those implemented methods from GIDSignInUIDelegate gets called when I sign in) as my main class (IOSLauncher) implements GIDSignInUIDelegate.

My info file has:

 <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>   
 <array>
   <dict>
       <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
       <string>Editor</string>
       <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
       <string>${app.id}</string>
       <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
       <array>
           <string>${app.id}</string>
       </array>
   </dict>   
   <dict>
       <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
       <array>
           <string>com.googleusercontent.apps.1111111111111111-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
       </array>
   </dict>    

Finally, to sign in I call:

GPGManager.getSharedInstance().setStatusDelegate(GooglePlayDelegate);
GPGManager.getSharedInstance().signIn(clientId, false);

Again, I can sign in successfully, but without the webview, it is pointless.

I faced with same problem. So after some experiments i found working solution (maybe it is incorrect, but i trying to make it working couple days). So here is some excerpts from my game. IOSLauncher.java

        config.useAccelerometer = false;
        config.useCompass = false;
        config.preventScreenDimming = false;

        return new IOSApplication(new TenTwelve(new IOSGameServices()), config);
    }

    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        NSAutoreleasePool pool = new NSAutoreleasePool();
        UIApplication.main(argv, null, IOSLauncher.class);
        pool.close();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean didFinishLaunching(UIApplication application, UIApplicationLaunchOptions launchOptions) {
        super.didFinishLaunching(application, launchOptions);
        Foundation.log("IOSLauncher didFinishLaunching()");
        try {

        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isSignedIn() {
        return GPGManager.getSharedInstance().isSignedIn();
    }
}

I hope it help.

Thanks for the help, but your suggestions did not work. The problem seems to be that :willDispatch, presentViewController, and dismissViewController are not being called.

One thing I did switch was the following in the openUrl method:

@Override
public boolean openURL(UIApplication application, NSURL url, String sourceApplication, NSPropertyList annotation) {

//        return GPPURLHandler.handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation);
      return GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation);
 }

I stopped using the GPPURLHandler since the GPGManager delegate was not getting called when using it.

[alek-sandr]

The code i posted above must work, i copied it from working project. And it works without overriging openUrl(). Here is excerpt from my info.plist.xml

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>tk.aleksdev.tentwelve.ios</string> <------ package name
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>tk.aleksdev.tentwelve.ios</string> <------ package name
            </array>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
            <string>Editor</string>
            <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
            <string>com.googleusercontent.apps.xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string> <----  OAuth2 client id from GPG console
            <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
            <array>
                <string>com.googleusercontent.apps.xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>

Also you should have file GoogleService-Info.plist generated by https://developers.google.com/mobile/add%3Fplatform%3Dios in resources folder.

[ebbybeh]

Thanks a bunch for your help! Changing the location of where I set the delegates seems to have helped.

[knepe]

@ebbybeh Where do you set your delegates now? I have the same issue as you had, no webview, only Safari. Can you post some of your code please?

Also, could someone share how "frameworks" section should look like in the robovm.xml file?

[ebbybeh]

Take a look at the robopod samples to see how the robovm.xml file needs to be.

This is how I sign in:

    GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().setAllowsSignInWithWebView(true);

    GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().setUiDelegate(new GIDSignInUIDelegateAdapter() {
        private UIViewController libgdxViewController;

        @Override
        public void willDispatch(GIDSignIn signIn, NSError error) {
            Foundation.log("***willDispatch()");
        }

        @Override
        public void presentViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
            Foundation.log("***presentViewController()");
            libgdxViewController = UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().getRootViewController();
            UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().setRootViewController(viewController);
        }

        @Override
        public void dismissViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
            Foundation.log("***dismissViewController()");
            viewController.dismissViewController(true, null);
            UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().setRootViewController(libgdxViewController);
        }
    });

    GPGManager.getSharedInstance().setStatusDelegate(pDelegate);
    GPGManager.getSharedInstance().signIn(clientId, false);

and in openURL I return:

GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation)

[alek-sandr]

I changed code of GIDSignInUIDelegateAdapter to next

GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().setUiDelegate(new GIDSignInUIDelegateAdapter() {

            @Override
            public void willDispatch(GIDSignIn signIn, NSError error) {
                Foundation.log("willDispatch()");
            }

            @Override
            public void presentViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
                Foundation.log("presentViewController()");
                UIApplication.getSharedApplication().getKeyWindow().getRootViewController()
                        .presentViewController(viewController, true, null);
            }

            @Override
            public void dismissViewController(GIDSignIn signIn, UIViewController viewController) {
                Foundation.log("dismissViewController()");
                viewController.dismissViewController(true, null);
            }
        });

Now login form appears with sliding animation like other GPG views.

[ldthai]

working with double line signIn: (but very slow) GPGManager.getSharedInstance().signIn(clientId, false); GPGManager.getSharedInstance().signIn(clientId, false);

single not working: GPGManager.getSharedInstance().signIn(clientId, false);

I had post my code in here(LIBGDX FORUM)

Who had better way to solve?

[julienvillegas]

Working for me! Thanks

[dsgraham81]

Thanks for this guys, I am finally able to get these mostly working. The issue I am having now is it is bringing up the sign-in just fine now, but after you allow, it redirects to Google.com and not back to my game. Any ideas?

[DavidBVal]

@dsgraham81, for me overriding OpenURL with

GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation)

fixed the returning problem.

I know this issue is old, but I tried all of the above and still the app is calling Safari instead of the webview. I've tried the code from alek-sandr, and still, login calls to Safari. I admit I don't even understand how this all works... where is the webview being defined? I don't have to create it manually, and call it myself to be displayed? I have assigned the delegates correctly because the line

Foundation.log("presentViewController()");

actually shows in the log when Safari opens. And the login itself and everything else in GPG works flawlessly, but of course, it is useless without a webview.

[julienvillegas]

@dsgraham81 I use to have the same issue (being redirected to Google.com after login) which I had solved in the past overriding the openURL method as follow.

@Override
public boolean openURL(UIApplication application, NSURL url, String sourceApplication, NSPropertyList annotation) {

//        return GPPURLHandler.handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation);
      return GIDSignIn.getSharedInstance().handleURL(url, sourceApplication, annotation);
 }

However I see this method is now deprecated so I am not sure how this can now be solved. Have you, or anyone else, found a solution?
