Unable to auto-sign on Google Play Game Services (play C ++ SDK games)

We have integrated Google Play Services C ++ SDK (1.1) into our Android app. Our physical test device is Android API 4.0.3. Google Play services are operational and players can access, unlock achievements and leaderboards.

However, we ran into a problem where we are unable to automatically login on startup with error code -3. After launching the application, we can log in manually. The following logCat records were captured during startup.

We have initialized the game services in the OnCreate method. The following codes show the corresponding implementation. It is noted that our application extends the standard Java activity.

@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    nativeInitGPGS(this); // create Google Player Services
    nativeOnActivityCreated(this, savedInstanceState); 
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Methods refer to C ++ methods as follows
