Question by claramarkov · Dec 14, 2018 at 08:04 PM · apisPlayer Datasdks

Problem with Google login and Playfab

Hey everyone,

we have some problems with the Google login process through Playfab. Our players are being asked for the permission to "let Google know who the are" every time they open the app, even though they already have allowed those permissions. We are trying to figure out what we can do to ask for the permissions only once, when the player opens up the game for the first time?

It seems to us that every time a player opens up the app the whole login process starts again and Playfab doesn't seem to remember that that player already logged in and already allowed the permissions, even though the player already exists under "players" in Playfab and there is no problem with loading the player data from Playfab.

Does anyone have/had this problem?

Thanks so much!

At some point over the last year, the requirements for silent Google play login changed and the way many PlayFab titles login to those accounts started prompting players for permission. We're going to be fixing this in the first quarter of next year. You can check out this Feature Request for more info: https://community.playfab.com/idea/19317/silent-login-for-google-play-games-services-on-and.html

As to why they're being prompted multiple times, it's hard for me to say. Please ensure you're following the guidance in our google play tutorial: https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-players/sign-in-with-google. If you're having trouble persisting the user's login state with Google, you may want to seek help from the android developer community.
