I created an App with the GSuite administrator account. But now when I go back I am my work user(rob) and have no access to the App I created.
If I then go to Google and switch accounts there is no issue for all other Google apps(drive, gmail etc) but Appmaker still shows me as rob.
How can I convince App Maker to work like all other Google apps and let me select the logged in user?
Most likely it happens because at this time App Maker doesn't provide users with account chooser widget like most other Google products. Here are some things to try to bypass this limitation:
use different chrome instances for better accounts separation (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824) - I would highly recommend this approach. I have about 10 different accounts and this feature saves me tons of time and gives peace of mind
use incognito window
log out from other accounts (in theory, when you open AM it will ask you to choose an account and re-login)

I have created a project at Google Developer Console. And I have followed the steps to create an OAuth Consent screen to ask users for their consent to let me use their email address and Google Calendar for my App. App is still at Test Mode, and everything is working fine.
But for the users of Google Workspace (G Suite) (#domain.com) the consent screen is not working. It just ends up saying that Something went wrong and ... the request is malformed.... I am sure it isn't malformed, because it is just working fine for non-workspace (#gmail.com) users.
I got it working later by Manage Domain Wide Delegation by logging into the Google Workspace Admin account and manually setting up my Apps's service account Client ID and Scopes. The process allowed users of that #domain.com (non-admin) email to get my consent screen working.
But this is not practical. I can't ask every #domain.com email address user to contact their Google Workspace Admins and add my app to the domain wide delegation area manually.
There are apps and services out there which connected to my non-admin Google Workspace account without having my Admin do it for me.
So there must be some way to get my consent screen work on #domain.com email addresses hosted at Google Workspace without involving the Admin account or Domain wide delegation stuff.
How can I get it done? Please help, I can't find any solution online.
EDIT More banging head in the wall, but no similar issues found on the internet. So what I feel like is that I need to wait for my OAuth application to be approved for production for it to work for Google Workspace accounts. PLEASE HELP if you know there is some other issue and I can try to fix...
Thanks.
Looks like there was some temporary issue with Google. I emailed them, and the issue was fixed.
I recently released my quiz app in the german Play Store and I get some impressions/downloads from the US which is odd since it should not be visible to the Play Store there. I am using Firebase authentication and I also see that some users authenticate but in my database they don't have an account (username, avatar etc.) which also can't be because after you login with Google you get to a page where you can choose your username and in the second you reach to this site, a user document will be automatically created, but in some cases it does not get created.
I noticed this behavior since my app was in beta testing.
Is it a normal behavior that there are some users who can see and are able to download an app that is usually only available in one country?
It can happen because google play console generates pre-launch reports for your app, so I think they use dummy accounts to login into your application. It can also happen when you submit an update to your app and it goes through a review process.
I have implemented Firebase Auth into my app to let my users connect with their Google accounts. So far so good, however once a user has chosen to connect with a specific account from the google account chooser popup, he won't be able to choose a different account the next time he logs in. The previously selected account will be automatically picked for the authentication.
I really don't find this behavior correct, so I am trying to fix it.
After some research I found that I can use setCustomParameters(prompt: "select_account") with the googleProvider, like so:
this.googleProvider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
this.googleProvider.setCustomParameters({
prompt: "select_account",
});
More info here: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect#authenticationuriparameters
In my case, using the consent and select_account parameters don't seem to have any impact, the user does not get to choose which account to use.
Edit: It would seem that it works correctly with chrome, but not with firefox...
I have found the source of the issue, it is in fact not really an issue. The google account picker will only show up if you have other accounts registered onto the device/browser you are currently using. If you want to choose a different account that is not saved into your device/browser, you would first need to log into it via google.
I am adding members in my Firebase project through console with the role of "Project Editor" which have all view permissions acc to docs. But by login as a member I am not able to see the Analytics. I tried changing role to "Project Owner" but still Analytics are not visible.
I am working with Firebase for the first time and new with the roles concept. Please help if anyone have solution to this.
Thanks in advance.
What do you mean by the term "not visible", are you seeing a plain blank screen or the dashboards are there but no data yet?
I'd suggest you to try the following workarounds:
If you have multiple Google accounts logged in at the same time, please logged them out and use only the account for Firebase. Also, use Google Chrome incognito mode.
Turn off Ad blockers or check if the Analytics domain is disabled by your Network administrator.
Open the Google Chrome developer mode, then check if there's any error logs or stack trace on the console. Reach out to the Firebase Support team by creating a ticket here.
Hope this helps.
Got the solution
I tried other gmail id that is with "gmail.com" domain rather than my "company_name.com" domain and the analytics is now visible that is previously only blank white screen.
It is because in company domain there are some restriction on user access.
My scenario is the following: We currently own an online rental marketplace that uses peer to peer bookings just like Airbnb. This means each user has a calendar for their property.We have a Vaway calendar for the bookings on our site however are wanting to integrate google calendar so we can be able to 2 way sync/asynchronous all the Ical calendars to each other from our partner sites who support it.
After much research I have tested my personal google calendar to see how the iCal works and it seems to work perfectly so we decided this architecture would need to be implemented on a much larger scale. This would be used in all new users signups to give our users an all in one calendar that syncs all our Partner sites into one completely synced google calendar for their listing. This basically allows a user who has their listing on 7 different platforms to sync to one calendar showing availability for them to keep track of inside Vaway account.
The google calendar would be completely separate from our Vaway calendar specifically to allow our users to sync all their property bookings from other sites into one integrated calendar.. The problem when reading about google calendar API is it requires OAuth 2.0 which is required user sign in from their existing google account (Calendar, Gmail...etc). Many of our users and new signups will not have google accounts and we do not want them to have to go through a google signup process to log into their calendar. Is there any way around OAuth 2.0? We really just need the functionality of the google calendar and its syncing capabilities inside our dashboard to give read write permission and sync back and forth 2 way with other calendars on other platforms.
With all of the features the google calendar has it seems to be perfect for what we are doing when testing. Each user that signs up with us will have google calendar in their Vaway dashboard provided by vaway however they will manage their own google calendar inside the Vaway platform for their property bookings. All calendars events/bookings would be public to allow the Ical syncing option to push through.
We do not want the users accessing this calendar outside of the platform because the pulls them away from the site. I'm not sure what solution would best suit this business model and am totally at my wits end here after researching. We are trying to keep our overhead low so google apps marketplace is not an option.
You really should reformulate your question, because it's really hard to read and understand right now.
But if I really get your question, you want to enable managing google calendar from a personal application without the end user having to log to any google personal account.
If this is clearly what you want to do, I suggest you to have a look to Service Account with OAuth2.0.
(See here : https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount)
It will provide a service account for your application, from which you will be able to handle calendars for your app.
And here you will find a sample showing how to do it with Java. (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/OAuth2#Service_Accounts)
