I work with Google Play Games Services. I took the code from the official example. Try with API 27 and with API 17.
All works only under one account (owner Google Developer Console), under any other - no.
I get this:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GoogleApiHandler
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Games APIs requires https://www.googleapis.com/auth/games_lite function.

I checked everything and as described here.
My gradle:
def gmsVersion = '12.0.1'
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:$gmsVersion"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:$gmsVersion"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:$gmsVersion"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:$gmsVersion"
and
isGooglePlayServicesAvailable = SUCCESS
I spent a very long time looking for a solution, but I did not find it.
