I'm unable to add the Google Assistant I believe due to Google's new requiremenet for Developers (eg Home Assistant) to verify themselves. This came into effect on 1 September. Looks like the details are here: https://developer.android.com/developer-verification
Can this be flagged with HA developer team (@rare grottocan you help flag this with the right folk?). Thank you!

@rare socket known?

Not that I know of. Probably also cc @rustic monolith as he's known with Google verification

As far as I know it's a different process at Google than the android one.
Could you be a bit more specific on the issue?

Hey @rustic monolith sure thing - I followed the steps this morning to set-up the Google Assistant integration (including setting up the OAuth steps in the Google Cloud console) - but when I got to the step of logging in with my Google Account, I got this error. I had spotted that Google was rolling out mandatory developer verification recently so assumed that might have been the root cause - and that given it only came into effect a few days ago, perhaps I was the first person to encounter it?
Here are the details from the "error details" link -
Error 403: access_denied

(of course let me know if this is me and user error, as opposed to something else!!)

Hey <@816339308146327563> sure thing - I followed the steps this morning to set-...
Oohh, I think this is a different issue
cold jay
Hey @rare socket - ahh OK, noobie-me-error?! 😉
rare socket
It's currently in testing mode and you need to add each account that has access separately
cold jay
eg - the step that I may have missed here?
rare socket
Yep
cold jay
classic. I was clearly in a hurry this morning! Sucess now! Thanks for your help 🙂
rare socket
Great!
With the recent news it wouldn't surprise me. But then I would expect this to be a bigger thing
cold jay
Yeah, fair call. I'm actually working in Google Play at the moment - which was the only reason I knew about the developer verification process!
rustic monolith
So the dev verification that you saw should not impact you expect if you install the android app from F-droid. And even if you do use F-droid it won't impact you now because it's still in early stage at Google.
cold jay
Got it. Thanks @rustic monolith
