True path is requestScopes(Games.SCOPE_GAMES_LITE):

    .requestEmail()

Answer 2

Following this Google Game Doc should be enough: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/signin

You should use:

GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions
   .Builder(GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_GAMES_SIGN_IN)
   .requestEmail()
   .build();

Answer 3

I had the same issue.

In my case, it happened when I added a new developer in my google console.
When some changes are made in the console, even though google gives us a green flag instantly, it is taking some time to get activated. My problem got solved without me doing anything but to wait a couple of hrs.

Note that as per Developer's Blog,

GoogleSignInOptions gso = new GoogleSignInOptions.Builder(
               GoogleSignInOptions.DEFAULT_GAMES_SIGN_IN).build();

is sufficient for Games Lite scope.
