Ionic Native GooglePlus login is not working without any error and console

Question

Before it worked well, now it is not working

I have used following plugin:

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-googleplus --variable REVERSED_CLIENT_ID=myreversedclientid npm install --save @ionic-native/google-plus

Code for login is simple as in instruction:

this.googlePlus.login({})
.then(res => console.log(res))
.catch(err => console.error(err));

Ionic:

ionic (Ionic CLI) : 4.1.2 Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.2 @ionic/app-scripts : 1.3.1

Cordova:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected]) Cordova Platforms : android 7.1.4 Cordova Plugins : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.2, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.0.2, (and 34 other plugins)

System:

Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/Volumes/mac_data/Android/sdk) ios-deploy : 2.0.0 NodeJS : v8.11.3 (/usr/local/bin/node) npm : 5.6.0 OS : macOS Sierra Xcode : Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b

Cordova version 7.1.0

Ionic Native GooglePlus 5.3.0

"@ionic-native/google-plus": "^4.12.0", cordova-plugin-googleplus 5.3.0

Answer 1

Try this:

Downgrade cordova-plugin-googleplus to ^5.2.1,

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-googleplus

npm uninstall --save @ionic-native/google-plus

Second

cordova plugin add [email protected] --variable REVERSED_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID

npm install @ionic-native/google-plus

Answer 2

Check the SHA1 certificate, During pushing your application to google play store, the SHA1 is auto generated by google in the latest update. To resolve this you need to use the auto generated SHA1 every time & configure with this SHA1 certificate in your google account.

Answer 3

This happened to me on the Playstore version. We need to get the Auto-generated SHA1 key here and put that under Firebase Project Settings --> Fingerprint

Get the Auto-Generated SHA1 key like so:

Answer 4

I've fixed this problem removing and readding android platform, I use android platform 7.1.4 and cordova 8 as well ( under win10 ).

But beware, from my experience doing this will probably raise some kind of other issues related to plugin compatibility.

Currently I have a compatibility problem with google plus and admob free plugin ( "desugar" error when building ) that raised exactly when I encountered your same issue ( google plus plugin doing anything ) and then removed and readded the android platform.

When install only one of those plugins everything works.

So try this solution if you are comfortable with the command platform rm/add.

-- edit

You can try this solution without any risks doing a checkout of your project in another dir :)
