gpc Auth Setup

Overview

Use this skill for initial machine setup or when an environment loses Play Console access.

Workflow

1. For one-shot environment setup, use the top-level setup flow.
   Use gpc setup --auto --project-id play-prod --package-name com.example.app --dir ./play.
2. For direct profile initialization, use auth init.
   Use gpc auth init --service-account /path/to/service-account.json --profile default.
3. Inspect the current active profile.
   Use gpc auth status.
4. List or switch profiles when debugging identity mismatches.
   Use gpc auth profiles list --output table.
5. Run a local diagnostic when the issue might be credentials, package access, or environment state.
   Use gpc doctor --package-name com.example.app.

Notes

• Prefer service accounts for CI.
• Keep GPC_DEFAULT_OUTPUT=json in automation for stable parsing.
