Gaming plugin always login failed for google play

Xman · October 2018

I used the google play services plugins in my project, and it can login and use the leaderboard without any problem.
Today, I switched to the Gaming plugin, and the code for using it is quite straightforward

pcall(require, "gaming")

game = Gaming.new("googleplay")

game:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_ERROR, function(e) print("LOGIN_ERROR") AlertDialog.new("failed", e.error, "OK"):show() end)
game:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_COMPLETE, function(e) print("LOGIN_COMPLETE") AlertDialog.new("success", "login complete", "OK"):show() end)

game:login()

It always login failed, since the google play services plugin works well in the same project with the same package name, I think the project configuration and the console settings in google play store is OK.

I spent all my day on that issue, but have no result, finally, I have to change back to the google play plugin and everything comes to work again.

are there any special settings need for this Gaming plugin?

I use 'Gaming' plugin, it works for me.
But I never see google's auth progressbar.

require "gaming"
gp=Gaming.new("googleplay")
gp:login()

Google have recently (in the last months) made Google Drive a requirement for their Gaming Services. You now need to enable Google Drive API in the dashboard for it to work. Could this be the issue?

@Xman : Check you have the correct google app id in all the plugin settings that needs it (ads, gaming, firebase, etc).

This code below works - because I added it to a game that didn't even try to log in to google play before yesterday. It logs in now.

pcall(function() require "gaming" end)
if Gaming then
	if android then
		gaming=Gaming.new("googleplay")
	elseif ios then
		gaming=Gaming.new("gamekit")
	end
	if gaming then
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_COMPLETE,function()
			print("gaming LOGIN_COMPLETE")
			login=true
			if pirateCopy then
				pirateCopy=false
				saveSettings()
			end
			gaming:getPlayerInfo()
 
 
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOGIN_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming LOGIN_ERROR:"..e.error)
			if e.error=="No license." then
				if not pirateCopy then
					pirateCopy=true
					saveSettings()
					message("No license.")
				end
			end
			login=false
			tryLogin=false
			gaming:logout()
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.PLAYER_INFORMATION_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming PLAYER_INFORMATION_COMPLETE")
			if e.id then	
				if e.name then
					gamingName=e.name
					if gamingName=="SinisterSoft" then gamingName="Anthony" end
				end
				print("Gaming name",gamingName)
			end
 
			-- now load achievements
			gaming:loadAchievements()
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.PLAYER_INFORMATION_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming PLAYER_INFORMATION_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.PLAYER_SCORE_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming PLAYER_SCORE_COMPLETE")
			print("Score",e.score,"Rank",e.rank,"Time",e.timestamp)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.PLAYER_SCORE_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming PLAYER_SCORE_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_ACHIEVEMENTS_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming LOAD_ACHIEVEMENTS_COMPLETE")
			dump(e)
 
			-- now load scores
			gaming:loadScores(leaderboards[1],2,1,25)	--leaderboard,span,collection,max results
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_ACHIEVEMENTS_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming LOAD_ACHIEVEMENTS_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.REPORT_ACHIEVEMENT_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming REPORT_ACHIEVEMENT_COMPLETE")
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.REPORT_ACHIEVEMENT_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming REPORT_ACHIEVEMENT_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_SCORES_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming LOAD_SCORES_COMPLETE")
			local scores=e.scores
			if scores then
				for loop=1,#scores do
					print(scores[loop].name,scores[loop].timestamp,scores[loop].formattedScore,scores[loop].score,scores[loop].rank,scores[loop].playerId)
				end
			end
 
			--gaming:loadState(0)  -- now load game state
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_SCORES_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming LOAD_SCORES_ERROR: no scores?")--..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.REPORT_SCORE_COMPLETE,function(e)
			print("gaming REPORT_SCORE_COMPLETE")
			print("Score",e.score,"Rank",e.rank,"Time",e.timestamp)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.REPORT_SCORE_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming REPORT_SCORE_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.STATE_LOADED,function(e)
			print("gaming STATE_LOADED")
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.STATE_ERROR,function(e)
			print("gaming STATE_ERROR:"..e.error)
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.STATE_CONFLICT,function(e)
			print("gaming STATE_CONFLICT")
		end)
 
		gaming:addEventListener(Event.STATE_DELETED,function(e)
			print("gaming STATE_DELETED")
		end)
 
	end
else
	print("Gaming plugin not installed.")
end
 
 
-- call login when you want to - eg, after loading or before player starts game
	if gaming and not login then
		print("gaming ok")
		if tryLogin then
			print("trying login")
			gaming:login()
		end
	end

With these being defined earlier:
leaderboards={"xxx a leaderboard code xxx"}
local login=false
local tryLogin=true
local gamingName="Guest"
android=true

And a function called 'saveSettings()' that saves the settings, that have been previously loaded!

It also looks for my google name (sinistersoft) for the leaderboard and changes it to Anthony.

@hgy29 I did notice that this gets fired - even though scores complete gest fired - with no apparent error (e.error doesn't exist and would crash the program!)...

gaming:addEventListener(Event.LOAD_SCORES_ERROR,function(e)
print("gaming LOAD_SCORES_ERROR: no scores?")--..e.error)
end)

@Xman : I just thought - it could be you haven't installed the program EVER from GooglePlay and have clicked the extra piracy check in the play store settings?

If this is the case then you will get the login error and a 'not licenced' message (see the code above). To fix this just go to google play and install the program officially. If not released then upload it as an alpha apk and again install from the store at least once.

Maybe it's my lucky day today, after tens of login failed, it login successfully.
I modified nothing.

Xman · October 2018

Thanks everybody's kind suggestions.

Sometimes it just takes ages for things to happen with the Play Store. Glad to hear it now functions as it should.

btw don't agree to Google's additional apk signing after uploading your app to console
this crap may create unnecessary problems for you later on
