I am using Google plus API in my android application. To use Google android API SHA-1 code is needed to use the API. I want to know why this SHA-1 hash code is asked by Google?
I also want to know whether this hash code is machine specific or sdk specific or depends on something else.
I am asking because I am facing some problem in API authentication logcat shows :
BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 403 for https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me
I believe answers to these questions will help in debugging.
