GoogleSignIn.getTokens() not returning new tokens in android

[Infinity-Intellect]

Once my token expires, I first call GoogleSignIn.clearCachedAccessToken(accessToken) and then call GoogleSignIn.getTokens(). However, I do not get a set of fresh tokens, rather I am provided with the same expired set of tokens.

Steps to Reproduce

Below is my refresh code function :-

export function refreshExpiredToken(exp,accessToken,dispatch){
    return new Promise(async (resolve)=>{
        if(moment().valueOf() > exp){
            await GoogleSignin.clearCachedAccessToken(accessToken)
            const tokens = await GoogleSignin.getTokens()
            console.log(tokens)
        }
        resolve(true)
    })    
}

Expected Behavior

I expected to receive a new set of tokens, that has an expiry time 1 hour from the time getTokens() is called.

Actual Behavior

I receive the old set of tokens, that have already expired.

Environment

@react-native-community/google-signin: ^4.0.3

System:
    OS: Windows 10 10.0.18363
  Languages:

I am also experiencing this issue

@devksingh4 @Infinity-Intellect did you guys find a solution for this?

[devksingh4]

@sammysium I unfortunately did not find a solution to this. Are many other people also experiencing this issue?

I think you need to call signInSilently()

[sammysium]

I thought of it but it returns wrote SignInRequired.

I am not completely sure about this, but I think solution should be to check whether JWT expired, if it is then just call signInSilently() and after you will get the new token using getTokens(). Do not call signOut()

That is what I have been doing, and it is still returning the expired tokens.

Have you tried a forceCodeForRefreshToken property? Like:

GoogleSignin.configure({
  forceCodeForRefreshToken: true,
});

[sammysium]

Yes..it is set to true.

May I see your configuration?

So upon further investigation, it looks like that GoogleSignin.getCurrentUser() will not always return null when no user is signed in. I tested this by signing all Google users out of the device and then calling GoogleSignin.getCurrentUser() - it did not return null, but instead returned the old user's data, presumably stored from before. My current workaround is to just query my backend API server to see if it can use the given ID token - if it can't, then user sign in needs to be forced again. It looks like this library employs some caching beyond what is native?

FYI, I was having the same issue, and fixed by using the following code:

import { GoogleSignin, statusCodes } from "@react-native-google-signin/google-signin";

// Seems that without `signInSilently()`, `getCurrentUser()` sometimes return `null` (?)
try {
    await GoogleSignin.signInSilently();
} catch (error) {
    if (error.code !== statusCodes.SIGN_IN_REQUIRED) {
        throw error;
    }
}

// Remove cached access_token, since `GoogleSignin.getTokens()` may return expired tokens
const oldUser = await GoogleSignin.getCurrentUser();
if (oldUser) {
    const oldTokens = await GoogleSignin.getTokens();
    if (oldTokens.accessToken) {
        console.log('Removing old access token', {oldTokens});
        await GoogleSignin.clearCachedAccessToken(oldTokens.accessToken);
    }
}
await GoogleSignin.signOut(); // https://github.com/react-native-google-signin/google-signin/issues/1022#issuecomment-1115847835

[kesha-antonov]

This is what worked for me:

loginWithGoogle = async () => {
  const { GOOGLE } = SOCIAL_KINDS

  const signOutGoogle = async accessToken => {
    if (accessToken)
      await GoogleSignin.clearCachedAccessToken(accessToken)
    await GoogleSignin.signOut()
  }

  // INSTALL PLAY SERVICES IF NEEDED
  try {
    await GoogleSignin.hasPlayServices()
  } catch (e) {
    logException('loginWithGoogle-1 e', e)
  }

  // CLEANUP TOKEN IF WAS SIGNED IN
  try {
    const isSignedIn = await GoogleSignin.isSignedIn()
    if (isSignedIn) {
      const currentUser = await GoogleSignin.getCurrentUser()
      if (!currentUser)
        await GoogleSignin.signInSilently()

      const resp = await GoogleSignin.getTokens()
      await signOutGoogle(resp.accessToken)
    }
  } catch (e) {
    logException('loginWithGoogle-2 e', e)
  }

  let accessToken

  try {
    const { idToken, user: { name: fullName } } = await GoogleSignin.signIn()
    const resp = await GoogleSignin.getTokens()
    accessToken = resp.accessToken

    ...
  } catch (e) {
    logException('loginWithGoogle-3 e', e)

    ...
  } finally {
    await signOutGoogle(accessToken)
  }
}
