Connection to google Play Services Failed

Question

i trying to upload video using this YouTube Direct Lite App for Android project https://code.google.com/p/ytd-android/

I performed all the steps mentioned in the link.

the appliction run in my android device fine but i recive toast "Connection to Play Services failed" and "An internal error occurred" toast.

and this log error:

05-07 11:17:33.659: E/com.google.ytdl.UploadsListFragment(3140): Connection to Play Services Failed, error: 4, reason: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SIGN_IN_REQUIRED, resolution=PendingIntent{41836358: android.os.BinderProxy@41779308}}

In order to find out what the problem is, i chacked the api key that i generated in here :

https://code.google.com/apis/console

and it look fine.

i red those links : https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/sign-in http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/auth.html#choose

Anyone encountered this and know what is due to the problem? The only thing I can think of it's the api key but it seems proper, help ...

edite :

Access Token

 mToken =
              GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(MainActivity.this, mChosenAccountName, "oauth2:"
                  + Scopes.PLUS_PROFILE + " " + YouTubeScopes.YOUTUBE + " "
                  + YouTubeScopes.YOUTUBE_UPLOAD);

Solution 1

I had a similar error recently. I solved it by adding the correct information in the Google APIs Console, specifically in the API Access pane.

In my case I was missing an OAuthClient 2.0 id. Documentation here

Solution 2

One more suggestion from me, if someone will need it in the future. Except the API settings and Google Console Authentication process pay attention on a little detail: on Google Console it is necessary that the application has a Product Name from Apis&Auth -> Consent Screen(see the image below). In my case i didnt set a product name and that was the reason of the SIGN_IN_REQUIRED error.

Solution 3

This problem occurs in two cases:

1) Google Play services library is not included correctly.

2) Dev console is not setup right. (Also if you just setup your dev console, it takes few minutes to propagate sometimes.)

thank you , your answer is very helpful. I entered again to Google APIs Console start from the begining all the process and added anew KEY, suddenly all the error stopped but still not working , after i choose video it's return to the begin screen and do nothing...

Can you specify a bit more what you add, are you add something that was not clear that we needed to add ?

You have to add your app's information. If the toast "An internal error occurred" doesn't show up any more, you did it correctly. However, you may need to add permissions to other APIS (under the "Services" pane). In my case it was all I needed, but then again, I wasn't using the YouTube API but only the Google Plus API (which was what my answer was addressing)

In my case it was the Email Address that for some reason did not get saved.
