Hi @MalikHamza007 , Same issue in my code.
Did you find any solution?

I think it’s due to the last change in v6.
Look if your initialize method send the web client id. If yes remove it on mobile or sent it conditionally with the right one by platform.
Web, iOS or android.
It’s now used in priority

I'm having the same issue.
Was not passing ClientId in the initialize method. Error continues even if I pass it.

Fixed by removing one optional plugin I was trying out 'cordova-plugin-lottie-splashscreen' that added

    implementation "androidx.annotation:annotation:1.5.0"
    implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.0"

to my capacitor.build.gradle.

not sure what really cause it. no time to look further as I'm sole dev of my app.

Capacitor 6 and 3.4.0-rc.4

Same issue. Hope a solution will be find

[riderx]

Please look the new doc it explains clearly the issue, and how to solve it.
I’m creating a fork with Capgo who going to have all social as this is a recurring problem for all social login

[DaveRicho]

I think it’s due to the last change in v6. Look if your initialize method send the web client id. If yes remove it on mobile or sent it conditionally with the right one by platform. Web, iOS or android. It’s now used in priority

Hi @riderx, is this what you are explaining here (or have I misunderstood)?:

import { Plugins, Capacitor } from '@capacitor/core';
const { GoogleAuth } = Plugins;

async function initializeGoogleAuth() {
  const isAndroid = Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'android';
  const isIOS = Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'ios';
  
  let clientId = '';

  if (isAndroid) {
    // Use the Android client ID for Android devices
    clientId = 'YOUR_ANDROID_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com';
  } else if (isIOS) {
    // Use the iOS client ID for iOS devices
    clientId = 'YOUR_IOS_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com';
  } else {
    // Use the Web client ID for Web platforms
    clientId = 'YOUR_WEB_CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com';
  }

  try {
    await GoogleAuth.initialize({
      clientId: clientId,
      // grantOfflineAccess: true,
      scopes: ['profile', 'email']
    });

    console.log('GoogleAuth initialized successfully');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error initializing GoogleAuth:', error);
  }
}

Thanks,
Dave.

[riderx]

Yes correct.
But to be fair, social login are messy for a long time in Capacitor. So I'm finishing up a plugin to have Google, Apple, Facebook in one plugin and with a simple configuration, and good Doc.
The code is done here: https://github.com/Cap-go/capacitor-social-login
We are finishing up the doc this week.

Hello everyone,

i have solved the issue and it works perfecto even the app has gone into production.
Now here me out everyone except creating your own client ids from the google cloud console use firebase add your web ,android ,ios and enable google authentication from the fireBase this is the important step and then go to google cloud console select your firebase project from there and use the ids.Now our setup is ready and we come to code make sure that to test the app natively the build apk will be made from that system whose sha-1 fingerprints are added to firebase.

In the code initialize the pluggin in the page or component where your are using Google login and use your web client id for every configuration just add your android client id in the capacitor config ts or json. Trust me this will work.

For the android don't forget to add your permissions , your configuration in the strings.xml and registering the pluggin in the Main Activity Java.

If you need more Help I'll send you the zip file of my project just do npm i and your good to go

I have tested with Capacitor 6, and it works correctly.

This is my code:

let googleClientId;
if (Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'web') {
  googleClientId = this.webClientId;
} else if (Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'android') {
  googleClientId = this.webClientId;
} else if (Capacitor.getPlatform() === 'ios') {
  googleClientId = this.iosClientId;
} else {
  console.error('Not supported');
}
await GoogleAuth.initialize({
  clientId: googleClientId,
});

const googleUser = await GoogleAuth.signIn();

On iOS, send the iOS key.
For Android, you need to create the project in Firebase, add the SHA-1 from the developer and production environments (in Android, you must obtain the SHA-1 from the Play Console for it to work once the version is published), and download the google-services.json file and place it in the project.

After this, on Android, send the web key, not the Android key.
