I'm currently running into a problem where the code
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(activity, this,this)
.addApi(Games.API).addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES)
.build();
works just fine, but
googleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(activity, this,this)
.addApi(Drive.API)
.build();
doesn't want to connect, only returning
ConnectionResult{statusCode=INTERNAL_ERROR, resolution=null, message=null}
There seems to be a lot of questions on this, but most of them only adress a specific scenario. So far it seems like my scenario would be unique, and therefore off-topic on this site. My product name is set in the developer console, the package matches and the signature is correct. The required apis are enabled, and no suggestion given in any topic seems to help out. It seems like only time, trial and error will solve this problem in my case.
Now the question arises however, how does one debug this problem? It seems to be such a common problem without a common resolution, so what steps would one take to find out how to resolve the problem?
Edit:
To get a bit more specific on this scenario, it seems like the problem lies somewhere with the com.google.android.gms service. That one crashes every time. Below this is the logcat of the following code:
new AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>() {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
Log.d("Snapshot", "3");
googleApiClient.blockingConnect();
Log.d("Snapshot", "4");
return null;
}
}.execute();
The errors in this logcat are consistent and occur every time, Of course with varying timestamps and process ID's, and some of this is probably unrelated to the issue, but to me it's near impossible to filter this out.

Edit 2:
I have managed to solve my own problem, by adding .addApi(Plus.API).addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN) to the builder. I've got no idea as to why this works or is needed, but as long as it works I'll take it.
I'm not posting this as an answer, as in this question I'd like to focus on how to find the source of this issue, not on making a list of possible solutions.
