Google play services crash on start

Questions & Answers
1

Hello. I use GitHub - playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity: Google Play Games plugin for Unity
When building project with Proguard minify i see auth not working and this error:

 invalidoperationexception there was an error creating a gameservices object

But if i disable minify or modify proguard file, the app just crash on startup.
I’ve updated all SDK/JDK and done Force Resolve after configuring google services, it went without errors.
Also I cant figure out how do I properly get some useful logs from adb (they just flow at lightning speed in my console)
In unity I use .net 4.5
Here is my Start for services (i have save games enabled in google console):

private void Start()
{
    var config = new PlayGamesClientConfiguration.Builder()
        .EnableSavedGames()
        .Build();

    PlayGamesPlatform.InitializeInstance(config);
    PlayGamesPlatform.DebugLogEnabled = true;
    PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();

    PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate(success => { DebugManager.Instance.DebugText.SetText(IsAuthenticated + "_well cmon"); }, false);
}

I’ve lost almost 2 days for that integration, any advice?

Hi, sorry I am bit late but thought I could be of help. I solved this problem in two steps:

  1. try placing GooglePlayGamesManifest.plugin in Assets/Plugins/Android folder. (not necessary step)

  2. After making sure that your App ID is correct AndroidManifest file, try replacing '\ ’ in front of your App Id with ‘\u003’.
