Issue Description

When we execute the “create_app_on_managed_play_store” lane we’re always getting a “Google Api Error: Unauthorized - Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential.” error since a month ago. The App in the Managed Google Play Console is not created.

The json we use was generated on a project in Google Cloud Platform and has privileges to execute Google Play APIs (Google Play Android Developer API and Google Play Custom App Publishing API) and also has admin privileges on Managed Google Play Console. Prior to a month ago, it always worked fine.

It seems that Google requires a different authentication method now? It is possible that fastlane has not adapted?

Command executed

fastlane run create_app_on_managed_play_store

Retry failed Google API calls See https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/21091 — committed to fmasa/wfrp-master by fmasa 9 months ago

Most upvoted comments

We shipped fastlane 2.215.1 this weekend, which includes my patch to workaround this Google API issue.

Once you update to fastlane 2.215.1, set the SUPPLY_UPLOAD_MAX_RETRIES env var to an integer >1 to auto-retry each randomly failed Google API error.

You can do this either in your fastalane/.env file (if you use one), or inside your Fastfile using ENV['SUPPLY_UPLOAD_MAX_RETRIES']='5' for example.

This is probably a temporary Google Issue. Found one report on their issue tracker, and one member said they’re looking into it. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/300236995#comment2

hello, is there any update on this one? i am also experiencing same issue.

I confirm, by setting these params, the upload goes through successfully:

      skip_upload_metadata: true,
      skip_upload_images: true,
      skip_upload_screenshots: true,

I’m also seeing this on the upload_to_play_storecommand. Last ran successfully on 7th September. No runs over the weekend but since Monday it’s failed consistently. No config changes on our end

Pipding on Sep 13, 2023

I have the same problem intermittently while using supply

ademirqueiroga on Sep 11, 2023

Started getting this yesterday as well, not on every run, but about 75% of the time.

joarkosberg on Sep 13, 2023

In fact on some cases it even many retries don’t fix the issue if upload is large, we need a better solution or get in touch with Google?

capyvara on Sep 20, 2023

I opened this case for the “create_app_on_managed_play_store” lane (Android enterprise private apps). I am still facing this problem since February without a solution yet.

Now, I’m getting the same error in the ‘public’ lane “upload_to_play_store” like you guys. It seems like the same problem is affecting both lanes.

Please, Fastlane developers, could you check what’s going on?

vmontana on Sep 13, 2023

facing this same issue from today

shekit on Sep 13, 2023

@vmontana try this guide https://medium.com/@muhammedqazi/mastering-fastlane-the-ultimate-guide-to-effortless-android-and-ios-deployments-with-github-e0878c3f9529

muhammadqazi on Mar 8, 2023

I believe that Google has fixed its issue. Personally, I am leaving the retry logic in place for a while.

chrisvire on Oct 5, 2023

Good news is there were no failures that needed to be retried. So maybe they have fixed the underlying problem?

5 hours ago, I received an email from someone on the Android DevRel team at Google saying that they some of their partners reported the issue and that they thus started to monitor https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/21507. In the email they mention:

I discussed with the Play team yesterday, and they had identified an issue which may have contributed to this issue. They believe they have now fixed this issue.

It isn’t confirmed that the issue that they identified and fixed was indeed the cause of the issue Fastlane has been experiencing, but we’d be interested to know whether users of Fastlane are now seeing an improvement, with no more failures, and no more need for retries?

This looks very promising and might explains why @chrisvire 's attempt today passed without any retry needed 🙏

AliSoftware on Sep 21, 2023

I think Google has made some changes to the API. I’m encountering this issue because I’ve integrated the Play Store API into my project, and I’ve been receiving the same error since yesterday…

mirkos93 on Sep 13, 2023

We’re facing the same issue. Please help. We’ve a production release today.

dhimanrascon on Sep 13, 2023

We’re facing the same issue. Please help. We’ve a production release today.

dhimanrascon on Sep 13, 2023

We have the same problem, JSON keys are ok, permissions are there. If anyone has a solution, please tell us! 😃

bimusiek on Sep 12, 2023

Initially SUPPLY_UPLOAD_MAX_RETRIES=5 was working. Now it failing with 5 retries. So we are upping the value to 12. I hope Google finds a solution soon. I followed the previously posted issue in Google’s bug tracker (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/300236995#comment7).

There was another attempt today to publish the same app with retries=12. Good news is there were no failures that needed to be retried. So maybe they have fixed the underlying problem?

chrisvire on Sep 21, 2023

Alright, addding the MAX_RETRIES env var also fixes it so both fixes work! i also added the root_url for good measure

christian-hess-94 on Sep 19, 2023

I am having the same issue. Any work around? apart from retrying?

Yes, the one I linked above

AliSoftware on Sep 15, 2023

Is there an issue reported on Google’s End? Do they know this is an issue? Is there someone with Fastlane that has a contact with Google API team that can communicate with them?

I saw the one that looks like an issue with uploading to YouTube. I am not convinced they are the same issue.

the one with youtube seems to be the same to me because it is also related to missing authorization, there is no other recent report at the same channel, and the user states they’re using the same code/token for years, just like we are. And also because someone at Google said they’re looking internally.

Let’s hope it’s the same issue. I’ll try to link this issue on their issue tracker so they can see it’s happening to more people

JoaoBGusmao on Sep 15, 2023

I confirm, by setting these params, the upload goes through successfully:
      skip_upload_metadata: true,
      skip_upload_images: true,
      skip_upload_screenshots: true,

this workaround worked for me

YaserH25 on Sep 14, 2023

We have the same issue with Bitrise, and they have similar reports. It’s an issue on Google’s side.

@mirkos93 If you refresh your Json key does it solve the issue?

Anyone knows if there is Changelog for the service deployed by Google? That would be a start

@fabiendem Nothing to do: I refreshed the JSON key and created a new service account, but the result is the same.

mirkos93 on Sep 13, 2023

I think Google has made some changes to the API.

That’s possible. The failed uploads include the following output

Google Api Error: Unauthorized - Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See [https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.](https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project)

The linked page has a deprecation warning at the top but it also links to a deprecation & sunsetting page where the sunset date is still marked as TBD. It seems plausible that Google sunsetted something without proper notice, but what makes me doubt it is that a few people in this thread have reported successful uploads. Maybe it’s something less drastic.

Pipding on Sep 13, 2023

I confirm, by setting these params, the upload goes through successfully:

No such luck on my end. Our config already includes those params

Pipding on Sep 13, 2023

https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/issues/21507 the same scenario for us too, the error gets triggered during screenshots upload

hemachandsai on Sep 13, 2023

The same issue if we are trying to upload more than one localization at a time.

johnbizokk on Sep 13, 2023

I’m facing the same issue, any updates here?

canturkay on Sep 12, 2023

The problem was there we should set this Access token location: access_token url paramater

fxcjahid on Apr 26, 2023

Getting the same when running upload_to_play_store - worked 3 weeks ago. Setting store/key pw, store file and alias in gradle properties.
