I have a script that makes uses of the Google Picker API. As I was testing it, it was running perfectly until I published it as a private add-on. Since then, the script getOAuthToken fails with the following (extremely unhelpful) error:
Exception: We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try again. at getOAuthToken(Code:37:12)
What I have tried:
- creating a new API key
- adding the script owner to the GCP project (it's a generic Google account as per the company set up)
- enabling the Picker API in the add-on's GCP project instead of the old one and generating the a new key
The API key has the following settings:
- application restrictions: HTTP referrers
- website restrictions:
- *.google.com
- *.googleusercontent.com
- API restrictions: Don't restrict key
These settings used to work before publication.
Also the code of the Google Picker is below. It's based on the boiler plate in the Google API documentation and used to work as is:

// from the Google Developers Console.
var DEVELOPER_KEY = 'intentionally removed';
var DIALOG_DIMENSIONS = {width: 900, height: 500};
var pickerApiLoaded = false;
/**

function onApiLoad() {
gapi.load('picker', {'callback': function() {

EDIT: This is what the server-side getOAuthToken looks like. I'm leaving the comments inside.
/**

* This technique keeps Picker from needing to show its own authorization

* available in Apps Script. In this case, the function includes an unused call
* to a DriveApp method to ensure that Apps Script requests access to all files
* in the user's Drive.
*
* @return {string} The user's OAuth 2.0 access token.
*/
function getOAuthToken() {
DriveApp.getRootFolder();
return ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
}
EDIT 2
I think I'm getting closer to understanding. The script is now throwing these kinds of errors every time I try to access the Drive app. I get the same error when I do DriveApp.getFolderById(id) and
Unexpected error while getting the method or property getFileById on object DriveApp when I do
DriveApp.getFileById(id).
I've added scopes to my manifest, but it's still not helping. This is the manifest:
{
"timeZone": "Europe/Paris",
"dependencies": {
},
"exceptionLogging": "STACKDRIVER",
"runtimeVersion": "V8",
"oauthScopes": [
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/script.container.ui",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets"
]
}
