Google sign-in fail: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included

Question

A project was working just fine. Some users started to complain about this issue (could not sign in to Google).

To verify it's a device issue and not application issue I've tested sign-in to Google with different app (it failed too): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.aifactory.chessfree&hl=en

Thus far I think those are the common facts in all cases:

• Started early June 2017. See more recent reports at the comments to the top answer here: LogCat message: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included
• Android 6.0 devices
• Maybe: Google Play Services 11.0.55 (436-156917137)

Devices:

• Samusng Galaxy S5
• Nexus 7 (2013)

Any work around this time or we just have to wait for Google Play Services update?

Answer 1

You may try other workarounds found in these threads:

• The Google Play services resources were not Found error

  Go to android-sdk folder in your system then extras->google->google_play_services->libproject-> google-play-services_lib

  Import google-play-services_lib in your workspace and then add this library project to your own project. Your issue will be hopefully resolved.

• Using Ads gets me a "Resources were not found"

  The message in that case must just be a check I suppose. The resources not found message is referring to the library resources, which are included in it, not to some resources on the phone.

Hope this helps.
