Do I need to have Google Play Account to make google sign in locally for testing purpose in flutter?

Question

I am working on Flutter application and I am trying to make google signIn using firebase and google_sign_in plugin. The code throws an error:

    PlatformException(sign_in_failed, com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 10: , null)

And some of developer asks for linking to Google Play account. I am confused that Do I need Google Play Developer account for that purpose?

Answer 1

Did you add your SHA-1 key to the firebase console?

1. First, get your SHA-1 debug key. Great Answer to get SHA-1
2. Then add it to your firebase console

com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 10

Taken from the docs Error Codes

public static final int DEVELOPER_ERROR The application is misconfigured. This error is not recoverable and will be treated as fatal. The developer should look at the logs after this to determine more actionable information.

Constant Value: 10
