If I remember correctly the new gadget also needs to be submitted to be found in the gadget directory later on, but it doesn't matter for your alias request afaik (both situations worked for us).
We had also a rejection like yours which we also didn't understand for the same reasons. For our second attempt we just used the same values and it got accepted. There are only two reasons I can think of right now: 1. A type-O by me (not copying the first or last character) 2. The Google servers haven't got to processing the newly generated secret and is therefore unknown in the "alias-request-department". But maybe someone from Google can shed some light on it? I can only tell from my own experience and that's not a lot... On Apr 21, 7:47 pm, DigitalLeo <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to respond.
