Thanks!

hi sheriffbot,  Is it support sync google account data by Chromium for android?  I use credential on Chromium  for  window, It works. But I add credential(api key and OAuth client) which is android type , it can't sync data. This almost confused me .  So, is it support? Thank for your help.
I build chromium for android by myself and build.
args.gn  file contains below:

Is it like this article, google does not support chrome sync, including chromium for android.

This article was published on January 25, 2017.Is Google now starting to support it?  

 Issue 917990  has been merged into this issue.

 Issue 917947  has been merged into this issue.

Could someone from Services>Sync team please confirm the issue, this seems to be wont-fix.

Thanks!

Assigning to treib@ who knows best about it.

Looking at https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys, it seems you failed to provide the OAuth client secret?

Either way, this is about some configuration issue with a manually-built chromium apk; it's not a bug in Chrome. For future questions like this, please do not file bugs. You can try contacting chromium-dev@chromium.org instead, *after* reading the instructions at https://www.chromium.org/developers and searching for existing email threads on the problem.

@ treib@chromium.org  Thanks for your help.
But I already required the OAuth client secret like picture which I uploaded.
And  I add it  to args.gn to build chromium apk like picture which I uploaded.
I was confused why it's invalid.  Can you give me more information? Thanks.

@ treib@chromium.org    
By the way, I apply the client ID for Android. It haven't provide client secret? Only  apply Client ID for other type have client secret , maybe  i need to apply Client Id for other type?  Even though I already try it(It failed too)

In your args.gn picture, there is a client *ID* but not a client *secret*. That is probably why signing in doesn't work. Please read the instructions at https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys carefully and notice this line:
google_default_client_secret = "your_client_secret"

If there is no client secret, you've probably selected the wrong type of credential. Again, *carefully* read https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys.

 Issue 920707  has been merged into this issue.

Sincerely, thanks for your help.
1. I selected *Android* type of credential for chromium for android, is it right?  If not, which type is right? I'm not sure about this. If right, I'm sure there is no client secret for android. Please help me to check. 
2.And Why I already enable Google Sync API, it still not shown in picture which named "apilist". Sync google account  need to enable sync api, right? 

3. I already readed https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys many times. it's only mentioned *other* type of credential, not mentioned *android* type. So I'm confused.  If the right type of credential is Other, I already try it. It  can't sync data either.

@ treib@chromium.org    

I have no information on this beyond the documentation I pointed you to. If that says to use "Other", then that's probably what you should do.

I was used "Other", it works for chromium for window, not works for Android. o(╥﹏╥)o. Who can help me? Maybe this article is right. Google only support google account sync for Chrome, not chromium for Android.
