Missing Feature{name=auth_api_credentials_begin_sign_in, version=6}

Question

I am trying to use the Google authentication method (One tap sign in) for my application. However, after I clicked on the sign button, I faced the following problems:

W/GoogleApiManager: com.google.android.gms.internal.auth-api.zbaz could not execute call because it requires feature (auth_api_credentials_begin_sign_in, 6). D/btn click: Missing Feature{name=auth_api_credentials_begin_sign_in, version=6}.

May I know where have I messed up?

1. I am using MsSQL instead of firebase.
2. I have created the OAuth 2.0 client.
3. I am using the Web Client ID for the BuildConfig (I have both Web Client and Android) buildConfigField : ("String", "CLIENT_ID", '"1113838514547 -neqok16gfh5b77v6hcg33c03d0khs896.apps.googleusercontent.com"')
4. The google Sign in button was not working with viewBinding so I swapped to "findViewById" for that particular button

Below are the codes:

Answer 1

I was banging my head against the wall for a few days on this issue and finally Alex Mamo helped me solve it. A few things could have caused this issue. First, ensure the following:

• User is logged in on a Google account on the emulator.
• Both SHA-1 and SHA-256 debug fingerprints are added to the correct project.
• The correct google-services.json file is in the correct directory.
• The web_client_id is yours and passed correctly into the required fields.

Then if nothing changed, try running the app on a real Android device. By real I mean a device that has been used by real people for some real time and not just a demo physical device conveniently sitting right next you.

If your app still produces the same error, then there are some other issues with the app that I unfortunately cannot help with.

If your app functions correctly on a real device, then it means your emulator is not set up properly. Try spinning up a new emulator and going through the new device configuration process (for me it was called "Setting Up Your Device" and it was available as an actionable notification bar button). This is a separate/different process than simply signing into a Google Account on your Android device. Once complete, wait ten minutes and reboot for good measure. This solved my issue.

Hope this helps!

For me the error disappeared in the emulator after installing the Google Play services update as indicated in the screenshots below. First create an emulator that supports Google Play as "Pixel_4_API_R" or "Pixel_3a_API_28" (see screenshot 1).

Then start the emulator and open the Extended Controls window. There go to "Google Play" and select "Update" (see screenshot 2).

After clicking on the Update button I had to enter a google credential on the phone emulator. After entering the credentials and confirming a few screens the update of google play services did start automatically on one emulator and on another I had to click the update button again.
