I'm using the BaseGameActivity class to connect to google play games services. The problem is that somehow authentication doesn't work. I'm searching the web for a solutions for hours but didn't find anything what helps me solving the problem.

When I start the BaseGameActivity I get the following output in the LogCat:

I checked more than ten times that the Package name, Cert SHA1 fingerprint and App ID (which I starred here) really are identically with those given in https://console.developers.google.com/project/my-app-id/apiui/credential
I also deleted the client IDs given there several times and recreated them. But nothing helps. Can you help me?
Go to the Google Play Developer Console, and find your game
Go the the "Game Details" tab on the left
Scroll Down to "API Console Project" and click your "Project Name"
Now in the Google Developer Console (Different Console), go to API Manager
Click the Credentials Tab
Under the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs, click your project name
And now, finally, you can change your SHA1 finger print and/or package name is need be.
                Find your Cliend ID and fingerprint here: Google Dev. Console -> Select your app -> Play Games Services -> Configuration -> Click on the blue arrow at the right side, under 'Android' section.

                My logged in user is tester account and I already published the app. So this can't be the reason for the problems.

When you install and run the game/app onto your device from eclipse itself, it will not sign in and connect with the google game services. Please follow below instructions,

i. You have to export the game/app first (Build Project before exporting)
ii. and upload the app.apk file to device
iii. Install and run the game/app, you will see the google sign in window.
Be sure to use the correct SHA1. In my case I had two different debug.keystore files on my PC.
One was located at C:\User\myUser\.android and the other was located at my android-sdk\.android directory
I used Eclipse and in my case, the debug.keystore was used from the android-sdk directory.
If you are using Eclipse you can check the location of the debug.keystore at Window/Preferences/Android/Build/.
None of the above worked for me.
You will get this error if your GoogleSignInOptions is invalid, which was my problem.
For example:
GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_GAMES_SIGN_IN).
        requestServerAuthCode("AN INVALID CLIENT ID").
        build();
Will also give the same error.
