Google

Authenticate your players using Google and register a session for them on the LootLocker backend.

The Google platform needs to be enabled and configured in the Web Console before it can be used in your game.

Configuration

To start using Sign in with Google we first need to configure our integration in the platform settings.

Client ID

Client ID can be retrieved from the Google Dev Console. If you don't have an OAuth2 Client ID, you will have to create one.

Start Session

You need to acquire a Google Identity Token to be able to start a Google session, but once you have that, simply follow along to the code snippet below. In the response from LootLocker you will find a refresh token which can be used to refresh the session so that you do not need to do the full sign-in flow each time.

string idToken = "eyJhbGciOiJSUz............";
LootLockerSDKManager.StartGoogleSession(idToken, (response) =>
{
    if (!response.success)
    {
        Debug.Log("error starting LootLocker session");

        return;
    }

    Debug.Log("session started successfully");

    // Store these to be able to refresh the session without using the full sign in flow
    string refreshToken = response.refresh_token;
});

Refresh Session

With Google authentication, you can refresh the session instead of having the player do a full sign-in every time. The request will return a 401 (Unauthorized) if the refresh token has expired, in which case you will need to start a new session.

LootLockerSDKManager.RefreshGoogleSession((response) =>
{
    if (!response.success)
    {
        if (response.statusCode == 401) {
            // Refresh token has expired, use StartGoogleSession
        }
        else {
            Debug.Log("error starting LootLocker session");
        }

        return;
    }

    Debug.Log("session started successfully");
});

Congratulations - you have now started using LootLocker in your game with Sign in with Google! Next up we suggest you look at our feature set, and decide which ones you want to use in your game.
