i removed get_accounts while packaging for shipping in order to avoid writing a privacy policy but i cannot get the google game services to work. I searched it up on the internet and found out that for android version 4.04 or upper get_accounts is no longer necessary.When i try to get a connection on a device that has 5.1 version i cant connect to game services.
Hello MG Works,
To tell the truth, Google Play Games does not need get_accounts.
What kind of problem you get on Google Game Services?
First of all, check the options below:
1° Credentials Check:
-
On Google Play Console, check if the “Google Play App Signing” is ON
-
Navigate to your project directory\Build\Android and check if the certificate is the same in Google Play Consle
-
Go to Google Cloud Platform? and check if the “Client ID OAuth 2.0” are the same of the Google Play Console App signing
2° Google Play Check
-
Open Project settings
-
Configure the settings as the Epic suggest: Using Google Play Achievements | Unreal Engine Documentation
-
Go to Google Play Console in the Games Services, check if the Tests are enabled for the Alpha and the Beta.
-
Upload your apk to Google Play (Alpha or Beta) and test.
Hello, thanks for replying. I solved the issue back then.The fingerprint Google gave while uploading the apk didnt match with the firebase one , i just corrected that and problem was gone.
