getToken() failed. Status BAD_AUTHENTICATION error

I've found the following error when running my android application in android studio. app couldn't get installed on my device because of this error. Didn't find the solution :( please help

Auth: [GoogleAccountDataServiceImpl] getToken() failed. Status BAD_AUTHENTICATION, Account: , App:com.android.vending, Service: androidmarket com.google.android.gms.auth.be.account.b.d: Long live credential not available.

Solution 1:

I had the same issue what helped me was that I had wrong credentials in my google-services.json file and after getting a new file my problem was fixed.

in the process of resolving this issue I also updated my google play services but I do not think this is necessary .

Solution 2:

I got this error when tried to install app directly from Android Studio.
It was due to certificate mismatch, since I used release certificate for setting up the app in Play Console, while Android Studio signs the app with debug certificate by default.
Installing app via adb resolved the error.

Make sure to run an APK that you exported and signed with a certificate that matches one of the certificates you used during the application setup in Google Play Console.

Solution 3:

I have the same problem some days ago. I just compile my whole code in a new project and Problem Solved!!.

Don't know what was the real problem. There is an issue filed here, with no solution.
