Android fails (Unable to find a Capacitor plugin to handle requestCode)

Hi all.

I’m on Capacitor 3 and Vue 2 (quasar framework).

In iOs all works fine.

In android, when I click on the button shows the gmail accounts. Then select the account and notching happens .

I can see in the log:

V/Capacitor/Plugin: To native (Capacitor plugin): callbackId: 115059358, pluginId: GoogleAuth, methodName: signIn
V/Capacitor: callback: 115059358, pluginId: GoogleAuth, methodName: signIn, methodData: {}
D/Capacitor: App paused
D/Capacitor: Unable to find a Capacitor plugin to handle requestCode, trying Cordova plugins 578501389
E/Capacitor/Plugin: Something went wrong
    com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 10: 
...

It’s like the plugin are not present in android target.

But If I run npx cap sync android:

[info] Found 1 Cordova plugin for android:
       onesignal-cordova-plugin@2.11.4

⠙ update android [info] Found 1 Cordova plugin for android:

In androidClientId I set the name of de app: domain.name

I set server_client_id as google-services.json and copy this file into android/app/

I register the plugin in MainApplication.java

import com.codetrixstudio.capacitor.GoogleAuth.GoogleAuth;

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
  @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        registerPlugin(com.getcapacitor.community.facebooklogin.FacebookLogin.class);
        registerPlugin(GoogleAuth.class);
    }
}

But doesn’t work in android.

After many hours with SHA1, keys, clients ID, etc… I finally found (here) the solution that worked for me. I simply added <string name="server_client_id">REPLACEME.apps.googleusercontent.com</string> in this file: android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml Now sign-in progress is OK and no more console error shown. I did other tests, and I figure out that google-services.json file seems to be useless. If I remove it, everything keeps to work fine. Even in the capacitor.config.json the value for androidClientId seems to be ininfluent. I tried with a foo value, and I still have no errors. I report this just for reference - i.e: I will keep anyway json file and androidClientId in their places. I’m using Capacitor 3

@sjdrew Thanks man. Saved my day. Though I didn’t follow the whole procedure. I just copy-paste the “type: 3” id instead of “type: 1”
