Here, we’ll first create the application project and then we’ll create some credentials for the Google People API.

  1. Go to your Google Cloud Platform and log in.

  2. Create a new project.

    new gcp project

  3. Enable the Google People API by going to the APIs Overview section.

    enable apis gcp

    If you only want to implement Google One Tap, you do not need to enable the Google People API.

Create consent screen

First, you’ll need to create a consent screen and then create your credentials.

  1. Go to APIs and services  OAuth consent screen.

  2. Fill out the consent screen which includes:

    3. App logo.

    4. App domain.

    5. Authorised domains.

    6. Developer contact information.
