Cannot set PGC settings

    I’m trying to set up a calendar using Private Google Calendars, and have set up the Google Developers Console Calendar API and OAuth client id. However, when I try to add the API key and add the client secret by uploading the JSON file, it then asks me to choose an account, and when I do it gives me the following:

    This app isn’t verified
    This app hasn’t been verified by Google yet. Only proceed if you know and trust the developer.

    If you’re the developer, submit a verification request to remove this screen. Learn more

    I’ve been tearing out my hair trying to figure out how to overcome this.

    Note that I managed to set this up for https://uucm.org (see earlier forum topic) where you helped me a lot. This situation should be similar, with one perhaps significant difference:

    The calendar in question is one from [email protected] , while I’m trying to set up the calendar display from our website at https://souheganvalleychorus.org . There’s no calendar to show on the website because I haven’t been able to set up PGC as a result of this problem.

    All the convoluted explanations that Google provides on app verification are not helpful in the least. I’ve looked at the OAuth Consent Screen until I’m blue in the face, and can’t see what I need to change to make this work.

    I appreciate any help you can provide on this. Suggestions on what to change, etc.

    Thank you in advance.

    Well, I managed to get it working by going to https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/js and clicking on the blue buttons. I’m not sure how this was different, but it seemed to work. The JSON file that this created worked in the PGC plugin.

    But I’m still curious about whatever you can tell me about what I was doing wrong before.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You did nothing wrong. The message “This app isn’t verified” etc. appears because your Google project (or app as Google calls it) isn’t verified by Google. It is harmless and only you see it once when you give permission to access the Google calendar. You can ask Google to verify your app/project if you want.
    Best,
    Michiel
