gapi.auth.signOut(); not working I'm lost

Question

Below is the code I am using to login with google. I have an element on login.php with id authorize-button. When clicked it logs in just fine.

I have a logout li

Answer 1

Weird issue, but solved my problem by rendering the signin button (hidden) even if the user is authenticated.

Make sure you have set your cookie-policy to a value other than none in your sign-in button code. For example:

function handleAuthClick(event) {
  gapi.auth.authorize(
    {
      client_id: clientId, 
      scope: scopes, 
      immediate: false, 
      cookie_policy: 'single_host_origin'
    },
    handleAuthResult);
  return false;
}

Note that sign out will not work if you are running from localhost.

Answer 3

I came across the same issue today. I have search for solution the whole. The only reliable solution that worked for me is through revoke as explained here

I stored access_token in session which is needed during revoke

Below is my code you may find it useful

      function logout() {
         var access_token = $('#<%=accessTok.ClientID %>').val();
         var provider = $('#<%=provider.ClientID %>').val();
    if (access_token && provider) {
        if (provider == 'GPLUS') {
            var revokeUrl = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke?token=' +
                access_token;

            // Perform an asynchronous GET request.
            $.ajax({
                type: 'GET',
                url: revokeUrl,
                async: false,
                contentType: "application/json",
                dataType: 'jsonp',
                success: function (nullResponse) {
                    // Do something now that user is disconnected
                    // The response is always undefined.
                },
                error: function (e) {
                    // Handle the error
                    // console.log(e);
                    // You could point users to manually disconnect if unsuccessful
                    // https://plus.google.com/apps
                }
            });
        }
        else if (provider == 'FB') {
            FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) {
                if (response.status === 'connected') {
                    FB.logout();
                }
            });
        }
    } else {

    }
}
