I created a Client ID for my Android App in the API Console specifying the package name (com.clc.mmm.free) and the Certificate fingerprint (SHA1). Then I deleted the Client ID and the API Console project where the ID was created (it was a "test" API Console project).

Now I want to re-create the Client ID in a new API Console project but I am getting the message: This client ID is globally unique and is already in use.

However I cannot find a client ID for my package/key anywhere, I even un-deleted the initial project and checked, there is no Client ID for my package, but still getting the same error!

Without the Client ID I cannot publish my new release of the app with Google+ sign-in. Please help!

I had the same issue. I solved it reading the last post on this thread.

  • Glad it worked for you, but it doesn't work in my case. I have deleted the client ID itself from the project and now when I try to recreate it I am getting This client ID is globally unique.... Like the client ID is stuck in API console database. Any other solutions? – calinL May 22 '13 at 03:34
  • You clicked "API Access" on the left sidebar to delete it, right? If this is not the case, I would have no clues. – awonderer May 22 '13 at 14:19
  • Yes, in https://code.google.com/apis/console, I clicked API Access and deleted the Client ID I had created initially in a dummy project. Now I want to recreate in the real project, but it gives me the "already in use". – calinL May 22 '13 at 21:20
  • I could delete and re-create other Client IDs, but not this particular one for package com.clc.mmm.free, for which I a still get the error "This client ID is globally unique and is already in use". Any solution really appreciated.... – calinL May 28 '13 at 13:26
  • Issue resolved today. Some back-end cleanup was done by Console API guys. Thank you. – calinL Jun 04 '13 at 00:51

    Hi calinL, did you ask support to clean up on your account or what? All the solutions mentioned in above url didn't solve the issue for me. – Omar Rehman Sep 09 '13 at 06:18

I had the same issue. There was google project which i previously linked with my current the android package. I removed the OAuth 2.0 client IDs from the previous google project.

One can remove client ids from the credential tab under API manager.

After removing client ids all worked like a charm.

I had same issue. It was not any issue on google side.

First I have added fingerprint and package without any issues. I deleted it. Tried to add fingerprint with different package name. Then I got the error. I realized that the problem was not related incomplete deletion of my old entry.

The issue was that same pair of package and fingerprint was added by android dev in different project long before.

You can add same fingerprint with different package without any problems. That could be a hint when to troubleshoot what's going on.

I had same issue. It was NOT issue on google side.

After getting this error I spent 4 hours checking all my accounts, all projects in them and than checking it again. I have even asked all developers in my team if they had created any keys for our package name. Finally I have found a project hidden on "All projects" tab containing the client id I was searching for.
