Googleauthutil.gettoken Securityexception

I was getting this failure on a ICS device with latest Google Play Services when trying to call GoogleAuthUtil.getToken(args). The issue was resolved by removing and adding Google

Solution 1:

You should add

<uses-permissionandroid:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

to the AndroidManifest.xml file. Thats all.

Solution 2:

Today 2013-11-14 there has been a large drop in the number of error reports we have received due to this exception. Also I see Google Play Services version 4.0.33 is out, I didn't notice exactly when that released but it looks like yesterday.

Perhaps Google released a fix in 4.0.33? That would be great!

If anyone has been able to reproduce this bug, please let us know if 4.0.33 fixes it for you. (We have never been able to reproduce the bug on a dev device, although we have have zillions of traces from our installed base.)

[UPDATE] Google has definitely pushed a fix, we had only a handful of reports on 11/15 and zero on 11/16
