“signInSilently(): failure” when trying to sign in to Google Play Game Services with LibGDX
I’ve been
trying to add Google Game Services to my LibGDX project for the past 3 days, at first I tried the LibGDX tutorials, but they all seem to be outdated. Then I was advised to use the Google Play Services official code
LibGDX: How to Implement Google Play Game Services?
I imported the sample project TypeANumber and tried to add code to my project, but when I tried to log in, I got the "signInSilently(): failure" error, and when I tried to open leaderboards and achievements it crashed with debugged and signed APKS.
Here is my code :
Android launcher:
private void signInSilently() {
Log.d(TAG, "signInSilently()");
mGoogleSignInClient.silentSignIn().addOnCompleteListener(this,
new OnCompleteListener<GoogleSignInAccount>() {
@Override
public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<GoogleSignInAccount> task) {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
Log.d(TAG, "signInSilently(): success");
onConnected(task.getResult());
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "signInSilently(): failure", task.getException());
onDisconnected();
}
}
});
}
@Override
public void showLeaderboards(){
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
onShowLeaderboardsRequested();
}
});
}
@Override
public void showAchievements(){
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
onShowAchievementsRequested();
}
});
}

Solution
Looking at your question from st 1, it seems that you are saving metadata outside of the app tag, but it should be in the AndroidManifest.xml file
Like this:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/GdxTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
<activity
android:name="com.harrybanda.blaster.AndroidLauncher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
android:value="@string/app_id" />
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
</application>
StatusCode 4 (SIGN_IN_REQUIRED) error means client attempted to
connect to the service but the user is not signed in.
This is my AndroidLauncher class

new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setMessage(message)

}
}
and MyServices interface
interface MyServices{
void startSignInIntent();
boolean isSignedIn();
void showLeaderBoard();
void submitScore(int score);
}
After installing the app, the user calls the startSignInIntent() interface for the first time
