I am struggling to get Play Games to sign in on Android Device

Play Games does not show sign in or request to sign in. I am using Firebase and have selected Google and Play Games for sign in authentication. i setup and configured google cloud, play games console and unity. Nearby Connections was setup too. the image below is the code ive implemented. it fails on “PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate”. I have a try catch on the entire method and it keeps catching at that point. I’ve tried countless solutions including restarting the setup and configuration, double checking keys, xml resources, client ids, using Social.Instance.Auth, list goes on.

I ran into something similar where any calls to PlayGames would immediately return as canceled. Turns out my android device did not have a google play games account setup properly (even attempting to sign into the stock android google play games app was crashing).
Once I got the account setup and working on the device, my code started working as expected.
Perhaps you are running into something similar?
