Sign In with Google Account

  Future<String> _signInGoogleAccount() async {
    final GoogleSignInAccount googleUser = await _googleSignIn.signIn();

    final GoogleSignInAuthentication googleAuth =
        await googleUser.authentication;

    final FirebaseUser user = await _auth.signInWithGoogle(
      accessToken: googleAuth.accessToken,
      idToken: googleAuth.idToken,
    );

    assert(!user.isAnonymous);
    assert(user.email != null);
    assert(user.displayName != null);
    assert(await user.getIdToken() != null);

    final FirebaseUser currentUser = await _auth.currentUser();
    assert(user.uid == currentUser.uid);

    print("user name: ${user.displayName}");
    print("user email: ${user.email}");
    print("user photoUrl: ${user.photoUrl}");

    return 'signInGoogleAccount succeeded.... $user';
  }

  • Note the PlatformException(sign_in_failed, com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 12500: , null) line about SIGN_IN_FAILED error.
  • The local debug.keystore file under $HOME/.android/ or $USERPROFILE\.android\ directory is not recognized by Firebase Authentication services while bundled with the debug version of the Flutter app.

Upload SHA1 from Debug Key Store to Firebase

  • Get SHA1 from debug.keystore file.
keytool -list -v \
-keystore debug.keystore \
-alias androiddebugkey \
-storepass android \
-keypass android
  • Create debug.keystore file again at the same location if required.
keytool -genkey -v \
-keystore debug.keystore \
-storepass android \
-alias androiddebugkey \
-keypass android \
-keyalg RSA \
-keysize 2048 \
-validity 10000
  • Add SHA1 obtained from debug.keystore file to the settings under Firebase Project ID.
https://console.firebase.google.com/project/FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID/settings/general/
  • Download google-services.json file to FLUTTER_PROJECT_ROOT/android/app path.
  • Sometimes, it helps to manually remove the installed app on device.
  • Run the app against the device again. It should work now.
  • See below output after signInGoogleAccount() being executed.
