Android - GoogleSignInResult always failing

Question

I have followed the tutorial here: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating to integrate Google sign in into my app.

However, the GoogleSignInResult.isSuccess() is always false. GoogleSignInStatusCodes.getStatusCodeString(googleSignInResult.getStatus().getStatusCode()) shows INTERNAL_ERROR. The docs here say "retrying should solve the problem", but it doesn't.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Similar question here, but I have added the json file.

Did you configure your project in Google Developer Console and provided correct signature? — Febi M Felix, Jan 07 '16 at 10:49

The problem was that I was running the app from Android Studio (without setting up signingConfig), so the app wasn't signed with my certificate, which Google Sign-in requires.

I should have paid more attention to this zero-vote answer! – Attacktive Jan 21 '16 at 08:05
Plus, you *can* run it from Android Studio with the `Build Types` which has `Signing Config` set with the right certificate. – Attacktive Jan 22 '16 at 02:34

True. I hadn't set it up before but I have now and it's all good. The API should really provide a more specific error message, though. – Vedavyas Bhat Jan 22 '16 at 11:38
@VedavyasBhat How do you setup signingConfig in Android Studio? – Raj Mar 26 '16 at 05:47
@emaillenin It's an Android thing, not an Android Studio thing. Here's the tutorial: http://developer.android.com/intl/in/tools/publishing/app-signing.html – Vedavyas Bhat Mar 30 '16 at 11:34
One line answer : create signed apk thats it. – Tushar Pandey Oct 13 '16 at 07:14

If you run from Android studio without signingConfigs, then it is using your debug key store to sign. You can try register your package name + debug key SHA1 in dev console for easy development:
