Google Api and android Oauth INVALID_AUDIENCE error

android, google-api, google-app-engine, google-oauth

Solution

Looks like that should work; here's the scope-init code from my app which does work.

private static final String SCOPE = "audience:server:client_id:" + SERVER_CLIENT_ID;

So it smells to me like there's a problem with the client id. Remember that

- You have to have a project with two client ids

- One is the one for your android app, with the SHA & package & so on

- The other is for the server side that you're going to send the token off to

It's the client ID from #3 that goes after ...:client_id:

Problem

I am getting a `GoogleAuthException: Unknown error`, while doing a `GoogleAuthUtil.getToken`. Just before the exception I see ``` GLSUser: GLS error: INVALID_AUDIENCE <email> audience:server:client_id:xxx.apps.googleusercontent.com ``` I have set the SHA1 from my release key , the package name, to the google api project. (Which by the way is being used successfully for GCM. )
