Google Places API in Android app : getGoogleAppId failed with status 10

Question

I am using the Google Places api in my Android app. I'm using the Place picker specifically. I registered my app in the Google services console, enabled the Google Play API, generated my key and added in to my manifest, along with the Fine_Location permission. Basically, I did all the steps in the documentation, however I get this error in my log:

getGoogleAppId failed with status: 10

I am not sure if the key is not right, I read that it might be because my app is not registered user Debug mode, if so, how do I do that in the GSConsole? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!

Answer 1

I had the same issue which was fixed for me by installing the Google Play Services SDK.

In Android Studio -

• Tools->Android->SDK Manager
• select 'SDK Tools' Tab
• select Google Play Services tick box

I was trying out the Barcode API of Mobile Vision and got the same issue.

Google Places API is also part of Google Play Services and might also be your problem.

Hope this works for you too!
