I am trying to get my google authentication working on a Django app that is requesting Gmail and Calendar data. I have set up the oAuth API in the Google developer console and linked it with my project, and I've triple-checked that my redirect URI perfectly matches that in the code (No errors with HTTP vs. HTTPS nor any inconsistencies with the slashes). I made sure that my key, secret key, ClientID, and Client Secret are all configured and identical in my Django app's admin page. I have followed many youtube tutorials and searched other questions on stack overflow but Authentication is still not working. I am getting an Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch. Even though I have checked many times to confirm that they are the same.
From all the tutorials, I have learned that there are two main origins for this error:
- Server sided (can be fixed in the cloud hosting developer console)
- Client sided (can be fixed by altering the code)
Both of these errors have their own individualized messages saying what type of mismatch it is.
Mine, however, says this: You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy. \n\nIf you're the app developer, register the redirect URI in the Google Cloud Console.
