• Go out to Project -> Project Settings
• Enable the plugin
• Go out to Project -> Export and enable Gradle Build
• Go to Project -> Install Android Build Template to install the android build template.
• Go to res://android/build directory. Add below lines to AndroidManifest.xml:

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
   	    android:value="@string/app_id" />
   
   	<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
   	   android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

• Also add in a file called integers.xml in that same directory and add the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    	<integer name="google_play_services_version">12451000</integer>
</resources>

• In the same res://android/build directory,(if it is not already created) create res -> values -> Strings.xml. Add below lines to Strings.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    	<string name="app_id">ADD_YOUR_APP_ID</string>
</resources>

Replace ADD_YOUR_APP_ID with the app id that was generated after following instructions on Setting Up Google Play Games Services

Check demo project. In order demo project to work, replace ADD_YOUR_APP_ID with your own app id, and in Main.gd add your ids for achievements and leaderboards.

Generate plugin .aar file

If there is no release for your Godot version, you need to generate new plugin .aar file.
Follow these instruction: official documentation.

In short follow these steps:

1. Download AAR library for Android plugins.

2. Copy .aar file to godot-lib.release/* and rename it to godot-lib.4.2.1.stable.template_release.aar

3. Compile the project:

   Open command window and cd into PGSGP direcory and run command below

   • Windows:

     gradlew.bat assembleRelease

   • Linux:

     ./gradlew assembleRelease

4. Copy the newly created .aar file to your plugin directory:

app/build/outputs/aar/GodotPlayGamesServices.release.aar to [your godot project]/android/plugins/

How to use

First step is plugin initialization

var play_games_services
# Check if plugin was added to the project
if Engine.has_singleton("GodotPlayGamesServices"):
  play_games_services = Engine.get_singleton("GodotPlayGamesServices")
	
  # Initialize plugin by calling init method and passing to it a boolean to enable/disable displaying game pop-ups
  
  var show_popups := true
  var request_email := true
  var request_profile := true
  #The client id must be created in [the google console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials), an OAuth 2.0 Client credentials of a Web application type
  var request_token := "Client ID"

  play_games_services.init(show_popups, request_email, request_profile, request_token)

  # For enabling saved games functionality use below initialization instead
  # play_games_services.initWithSavedGames(show_popups, "SavedGamesName", request_email, request_profile, request_token)
  
  # Connect callbacks (Use only those that you need)
  play_games_services.connect("_on_sign_in_success", self, "_on_sign_in_success") # account_id: String

  play_games_services.connect("_on_leaderboard_score_submitting_failed", self, "_on_leaderboard_score_submitting_failed") # leaderboard_id: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_game_saved_success", self, "_on_game_saved_success") # no params
  play_games_services.connect("_on_game_saved_fail", self, "_on_game_saved_fail") # data: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_game_load_success", self, "_on_game_load_success") # data: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_game_load_fail", self, "_on_game_load_fail") # data: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_create_new_snapshot", self, "_on_create_new_snapshot") # name: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_player_info_loaded", self, "_on_player_info_loaded")  # json_response: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_player_info_loading_failed", self, "_on_player_info_loading_failed")
  play_games_services.connect("_on_player_stats_loaded", self, "_on_player_stats_loaded")  # json_response: String
  play_games_services.connect("_on_player_stats_loading_failed", self, "_on_player_stats_loading_failed")
