Is there another place to get a google-services.json?

Question

I tried clicking the GET A CONFIGURATION FILE link from the docs, but the resulting page just loads and loads. This happens in Firefox and Chrome and on my phone. Is there some other way to get a config file?

EDIT: I am getting these errors in Chrome Dev Console:

Refused to display 'https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=cloudconsole&osid=1&passiv…ed%253Dtrue%26cntlbl%3DContinue%2BAdding%2BSign-In%26cntapi%3Dsignin&hl=en' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'DENY'.
Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://console.developers.google.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('null').(anonymous function) @ script_foot.js:348n.event.dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3r.handle @ jquery.min.js:3

This might be a temporary issue due to network connectivity or something like that.

One solution would be to try again at a later point in time. This might be happening because you're trying to download the google-services.json for the sample project (com.google.samples.quickstart.signin).

If you want result now, you could follow the steps to integrate the Google Sign In into your app.

1. Create a new empty android studio project/if you have an existing project skip this step.
2. Use this link and follow the onscreen instructions to generate the google-services.json for your app.

3. The app name here refers to your project name in Google Developers Console. If you've already setup your Google developers console project for your android app, you can select that via the drop-down menu. If you have not created one, just enter a name and that project will be created for you in your developers console.

4. Select the google services you need for your project viz Google Sign
   In, Google Cloud Messaging, AdMob etc. In our case, we just selected Google Sign In.

5. You will be asked for SHA-1 hash. Follow these steps to get one.

6. Click on generate configuration files. Next screen you will be presented with an option to download google-services.json for your app. Download that and you're good to go.

7. Once you have the google-services.json, follow these steps to complete the Google Sign In.
