I am writing a Chrome extension that sends voicemails from Gmail Web App with Gmail API.

I keep getting this red message somewhere around the time that I try to authenticate a user.

Gmail is having authentication problems. Some features may not work.

My questions:

  • Why is this happening?
  • Can I somehow download Google Javascript Client library in a way that it doesn't create a global gapi variable?

PS. I already tried reading the documentation. Also, the extension works fine, and Gmail works fine, the red message is the only problem.

For the people who are directed here via google search (which I used to), check your extensions. After I research so many hours, I see that one of my extensions is modifying my header, disabling it resolved the problem.
