Having some trouble with Google Play Game Services

Unity Engine

Hi guys,

I have been pulling my hair out for hours trying to resolve this

I had Google Play Game Services (signing in, opening and setting leaderboards and achievements) working fairly well, but didn’t realise publishing the service meant I can’t change certain things. So I created a new Game Services project to make my changes and tried to link it to the same Application, and now everything is totally broken.

When I open the game now sometimes when trying to sign in to Google Play it just goes in a loop trying to sign in over and over again, other times it does not come up at all. If I manage to get into the main menu and click on Leaderboard or Achievements nothing happens at all!

  • I have of course updated all of my resource name and IDs.

  • I have also deleted the Client ID from the old Game Services project

  • In the Services & APIs tab in the Applications console, under the heading Google Play Game Services the game services still links to the old Game Service project. Is this a problem?

  • LogCat reveals a few of these error messages when I click to open up Leaderboard or Achievements:

11-07 12:35:41.371: E/GooglePlayServicesUtil(12398): The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.

Help me Unity Forums you’re my only hope!

did you link it to the same keystore?

Yes I did. Also, Google won’t let you upload a new apk with a different keystore

Is the game published? If not, then creating everyting new (GPS and keystore) would probably solve the issue.

Or do you wan’t to switch the existing published game to a new GPS?

The game is published in Alpha stream, so no Production apk, and only available to Alpha testers in the Play Store if they join the Alpha group and have a link to the store page.

I think I’ve actually resolved the problem now, it seems (it’s a pretty silly one) my device was having some connectivity issues and I’d actually fixed the problem but it wasn’t able to connect so I couldn’t see it working.

As it turns out the error message The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included. is completely normal and harmless
