Unexpected location sharing data being returned

See original GitHub issue

It seems the object being returned by Service._get_data() is not in the format the library expects. This is what I see when I enable logging and try the example in USAGE.rst:

Response: [None, None, '[41-char alphanumeric string]', '[23-char alphanumeric string]', None, None, '[17-char alphanumeric string ending in ==]', 1800, 1522032173486, None, None, [0]]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jrwiebe/locate/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/locationsharinglib/locationsharinglib.py", line 284, in get_shared_people
    people = [Person(info) for info in output[0]]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Response: [None, None, '[same 41 chars]', '[same 23 chars]', None, None, '[same 17 chars]', 1800, 1522032173486, None, None, [0]]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/jrwiebe/locate/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/locationsharinglib/locationsharinglib.py", line 297, in get_authenticated_person
    output[9][1],
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I hesitate to share the contents of those three semi-redacted strings without knowing what they contain. The Google login appears successful.

[Edited: I initially described the redacted strings as base64, but I only meant that’s what they resembled. Of course if that’s what they were, I’d know how to decode them.]

Further debugging showed I was wrong about my Google login being successful. The issue was two-factor authentication. My fork adds support for the mobile prompt method. For completeness the other available methods should probably be added.

I got a fairly deep into figuring out the 2FA flow but was close to giving up when I found a single example of code I could borrow from cevoaustralia/aws-google-auth. The behaviour might be to contributors’ tastes (presenting a prompt, for example), but it works for my purposes. I opted to piggyback on the InvalidCredentials exception for the case where one is locked out for excessive authentication attempts.
