Google Sign In error 12500

Issue

I am trying to integrate Google Sign In into my app. I don't have a back-end server, I am just getting the details of the logged on Google Account to my app.

I first tried it by using Google Sign In Example but I got an error (No code changes made except for printing the stacktrace below). I just used the example SignInActivity as I don't have a back-end server.

                 revokeAccess();
                 break;
         }
     }
  }

From what I read, the issue could be caused by SHA1 Generation.

I followed the complete guide but apparently it's not working.

I copied the SHA1 from gradle signingReport

what could be the possible cause of this?

Thanks

P.S. Could this be a possible cause?

Google Play services out of date.  Requires 11720000 but found 10932470

Solution

Simply update your Google Play Services to the latest version (or 11720000 in this case). If you are using AVD, Nexus 5 and 5X images support Google Play. Once the emulator is up and running, go to the Extended Controls Menu > Google Play then update.
