I want to implement the "sign in with Google" button in my Android app. And I read this:
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you
must configure a Google Developers Console project and set up your
Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next
steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
And in order to publish the app I need also a Google Play Console, and I was wondering why do I need to create a Project in Google Developers Console?
Can I make this also in Google Play console??
What is the difference between Google Developers console and Google Play console?
Thanks
Cheers
Google Developers console you can think of as a Google "Cloud" console. Almost anything to do with interacting with Google servers from your app is done there. Most of the APIs and features are cross-platform iOS, Android and Web. You can find it at https://console.developers.google.com/.
Signing in with Google is a cloud feature, and cross-platform so lives there. You can have a Google account on any platform.
Google Play console is focused on publishing your app to Android users. If you want stats for running your business, to affect the store listing, or roll out a new APK that's where to go.

i have an app that uses game services. i was told to check something in the Google Api Console , but i can't see my project in the projects list at the Google Api Console. So , should my app appear there or no?
If your App uses Game Services it should appear there. This would have been created automatically by the Play Console when you added services to your game.
Please read carefully to avoid ambiguity in the use of Google terminology.
I linked my Google Play Games Game to my Google Play Game, and then I had to remove this link in the Google Developer Console. I recreated the link and my SHA1 code became available again. Now I received a message that my previous project will be completely removed from Google Developer Console. Will it also be removed from Google Play?
AFAIK both serves different purposes, google play is used for launching apps, where as developer console is for using various API's provided by the google.
So Once you delete your project from developer console it will be gone from google developer console not google play console. and but you can restore it until 7 days of deletion.
Google play console is used for publishing, updating or deleting your Android Apk from Google PlayStore.
I have removed my Google Developer Console project.
Are these projects identical to each other? If I remove one, will it remove the other?
Difference between Google Developers Console and a Google Play Developers Console?
Google Developers Console: Google Developers (previously Google Code) is Google's site for software development tools, application programming interfaces (APIs), and technical resources. The site contains documentation on using Google developer tools and APIs—including discussion groups and blogs for developers using Google's developer products.
Google Play Developers Console:
Google Play or Google Play Store, and originally the Android Market, is a digital distribution platform operated by Google. It serves as the official app store for the Android operating system, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android SDK and published through Google. Google Play also serves as a digital media store, offering music, magazines, books, movies, and television programs.
Answer of your Question
No, If you remove your project from Developers Console it will not delete your Application from Google Play Store, but the funcationality witch is working due to your Google Developers Console project stops and your Application will not work as it was previously.
Note: Your Project will be permanently deleted from Google Developers Console after 7 days when you deleted it. You can restore your project in the mean time.
The Google Developer Console is a place where you can register your applications for using any of the Google APIs (example: Google plus) or using the Google infrastructures.
The Google Play Developer Console is where you upload your Android App, publish, view statistics, etc.
Removing your project from one will not remove it from the other.
I have a google play app, linked to a google play game services project. However, I believe I accidentally deleted the google play game services project from the google developer console, so now it shows up in google play developer console, but not in the google developer console. In the google play developer console, in the game services project, I'm constantly getting
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (1700404)
(I'm assuming this is because the underlying developer console project was deleted). Well, now it's really screwed up because I can't add a new game services project, but the current one isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I recommend that you start again from the beginning with a new app in the Google Play Developer Console (i.e. use a different apk name). Do not make changes to Google Play Game Services apps in the developer console (if indeed that is its current name) unless specifically instructed to do so by a reliable source (e.g. a google guide).
You will find many tales of woe on Stack Overflow concerning problems arising from making changes in the developer console to Google Play Game Services apps. e.g :
Google Play Game Services - unable to sign in
Is that possible to implement some features like real-time multiplayer by using Google Play Game services without developer console?
According to the official documentation you have to "set up the game in the Google Play Developer Console" as step 2 instruct you to. I do not see any other way, if you do not want to implement all functionality yourself.
