chrome.identity.getAuthToken not working

Question

I am working with Chrome Identity API, to provide users with a Google Authentication on my Chrome Extension.

I followed the official tutorial of Google : link Chrome Id

Answer 1

For other user, who might face the problem that chrome.identify.getauthtoken is not firing or you log in and nothing happens.

Check your manifest and reduce it to the bare minimum. For example the "oauth2": { "client.id": "alongstring" , "scopes": ["bla","openid", "bla"]}. Having openid in the array, the callback simply did not fire, no alert, no nothing.

Having openid inside my scopes inside oauth2 blocked in someway the callback from being fired.
