    Hi all! I’ve been trying to set up the plugin for 2 days, and there is no way to authenticate the google account 🙁
    When I pick the google account, it shows an 403 error (access_denied) with this text:
    the developer hasn’t give you access to this app. It’s currently being tested and it hasn’t been verified by Google. If you think you should have access, contact the developer (selected email address).
    In the details,
    access_type=offline
    response_type=code
    redirect_uri=https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground
    prompt=consent
    flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow
    client_id=xxxxxxxxxxx
    scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.sharing

    I manage that google account and I can’t find the way to fix it. Can you help me?

    In the past couple of weeks Google has changed something that I have not had time to document. There is one additional step required for you on Google – When you click on “OAuth Consent Screen” on the left, you will see “Publishing Status”, under which you will see “Testing”, and a button that says “PUBLISH APP”. You need to click on that button. Once you have published it, you will see that the “Publishing Status” is “In Production”, and at the top you will have a “Verification Status”, which will say “Verification not required”. You should be good to do your authentication at that time.

    Note that the above is for the desktop client. The message you have pasted is for the Web App client – the desktop does not need a redirect URL and it cannot be used on the OAuth Playground.

    I have updated the official plugin documentation with screenshots for the above.

    Hi again,

    I did that (publish the app), and more troubles… Now I get a 400 error when I try to authenticate.

    I’ve deleted everything and do it again, and there is no way. I found this topic https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/error-400-redirect_uri_mismatch-3/ and try it too; there is no way… 🙁

    Is possible that my problem could be at this “plus you are adding the Google Photos app to the scope“? I can’t find nothing about this in the documentation…

    It is present in the documentation as Enabling the Client ID for Google Photos. Note that redirect URLS apply only to Web App clients, not to desktop clients, and the setup of web app clients requires you to go through a workaround through the Google OAuth Playground (also written in the documentation).
