UpdatePlayerNameAsync not working

Unity Services
, ,
1

the documentation states “Players must be signed in to create or update their player name.” but running

AuthenticationService.Instance.UpdatePlayerNameAsync(playerName)

gives me :

Unity.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Invalid state for this operation. The player is already signing in.

Please post the full stacktrace and the full offending code. Are you using async / await or not? This is not visible in the line you sent.

I am signing into google with :

    private void Awake()
    {

#if UNITY_ANDROID
        PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();
        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate(delegate (SignInStatus status) {
            Debug.Log("------------- PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate] status=" + status);
            string playerName = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserDisplayName();
            UpdateName(playerName);
        }); 
#endif
    }

    public async void UpdateName(string playername)
    {
        try
        {
            Debug.Log("Trying to update name to: " + playername);
            await AuthenticationService.Instance.UpdatePlayerNameAsync(playername);
        }
        catch (RequestFailedException ex)
        {
            Debug.Log("Error changing name: " + ex);
        }
    }

and this is the error:

AndroidPlayer "samsung_SM-S918W" Error changing name: Unity.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Invalid state for this operation. The player is already signing in.

I solved it by delaying the call to update the name
