I have a game on Google Play that I'd like to integrate with Amazon Cognito.
This game uses Google Play Game Services, so has an entry in Google Developer Console.
I am looking at this reference document:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/devguide/identity/external-providers/google/
And trying to determine if I should add these new Credentials to the existing Google Developer Console entry (the one populated with Google Play Game Services API) or if I should create a new Google Developer Console Android application.
You should be able to use your existing Google Developer Console entry.

We have multiple apps uploaded in a single developer account that are featuring in app subscription. All the apps uploaded on play console have corresponding google cloud project having pub sub setup. I am able to link only one google cloud project at a time.
Now I want to link all those Google Cloud Projects to API Access in Play Console, but there is no option to add multiple projects to it.
This is if you want to get data from your own Google Play Developer account, it is not related to the projects you created for your apps.
I'm working on an app and I want to add Google Analytics to it, but I think I have a problem, The Google Play Developer Account that I use is a different Google account then the account where all the Google Analytics are tracked.
So I was wondering if the Developer Account and the Analytics account should be on the same Google account or if it could with separate accounts. If it would work I would also want to know if there are any disadvantages with doing it this way.
Thanks in advance.
You can use any google account for Google Analytics .
You just need to generate the google-services.json file fron the Google Api Console with the account you want view Analytic Reports.
i.e. You don't need a Google Play Developer Account for accessing Google Api Console.
You can follow this link for setting up Google Analytics : -

Under Google account #1, I have Google+ and Google maps enabled/configured for my Android app. In the app, I am using the App Id that I configured under this account which allows me to use G+ sign in and Google Maps.
Will I be able to publish this app under a completely separate Google account and have the Google Services still work?
I've looked around but couldn't find any information stating whether or not I can (or should) use the same account to configure Google Play Services and publish the app.
I do not think that is mandatory, and in the past I have done these things with separate Google accounts
You are free to use a different google account for publishing your app in the store [Play developer account], other than the one you used for configuring google services viz Maps, Admob, G+ [Google developer console].
You can use any Google Account. There is not compulsory that you have to publish your app under the same Google account that you configured Google Play Services.
Its not compulsory thatPlay services and Publish account be same.
All you need to do is to keep KeyStore file safe as once you lose your Keystore file its too hard to Upload new Version for that Application.
Is there any way to get a Google Play Games API key for local testing purposes? (Android) (Similarly that the test key of Google Maps API).
I intend to use some of the Google Play Games APIs mainly for educational purposes (i.e For learning about it..). In the Google Play Services developer console, I tried create a key, but now the Google require a payment as Full Google Play Developer.
..Thanks in advance..
Here's an example tutorial. Just follow steps 1 - 6 in "Getting Started with Google Applications". Mine shows an example on getting a key for Google Maps Android API v2, but the entire list of apps is in there including the Google Play Games and other APIs.

No you cannot test without a developer account.. You need OAuth 2.0 client id. Game services testing can only be done with the projects which are exported/ran with a particular keystore SHA1 which you given while creating the client id.
I want to check my subscription in-app purchase from my android app using my own server. I wrote a php script, but I am getting all the time error "This developer account does not own the application". I used the same google account to create an app in the Google Play Developer Console and to create a web application in the Google APIs Console.
What can be wrong?
I had wrong email address set in the setting in the Google Play Developer Console.
