Well, I would think the only thing we can do if there is no actual "me" record, is to pull the accounts connected to, and get emails from those.. if there is only 1, use it, if more than 1, offer the end user a choice. However, at the very least I'd still ask the end user if that is the email they wish to use rather than just assume. Or populate the email (if there is only 1) into a field that the user can verify before sending. In my case it's not a big deal, didn't realize there wasn't a definitive "me" record that we could access given that exactly like Dianne said.. if they download the app, they have a google account set up.
