Hello, I'm trying to figure out the best way to authenticate a user on both an Android game and the server hosting the game logic.
Currently I'm logging the user in using the BaseGameUtils package found in the google play games example files as described here: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init There doesn't seem to be a way to get a id_token to send to the server to authenticate the user so I use the Games.getGamesServerAuthCode() function to obtain an authcode and send the authcode to the server component. The server then exchanges the authcode for a token... But now I'm confused... The server now has a token but the token expires. Is it expected to let the android app know the authcode was used to obtain a token and have the client issue a new authcode after it has expired? Do I use the access token to facilitate a session between the client and server? Or do I just use the authcode process for "login" and issue my own token process between the android app and the server?
