I keep getting an error message that says “Google hasn’t verified this app. The app is requesting access to sensitive info in your Google Account. Until the developer (xxxxxxx@gmail.com) verifies this app with Google, you shouldn’t use it. If you’re the developer, submit a verification request to remove this screen.”
When following the instructions to verify the app in Google API Console, I get a message that says “Verification not required
Your consent screen is being shown, but your app has not been reviewed so your users may not see all of your information, and you will not be able to request certain OAuth scopes.” on the Verification Center tab.
Not sure what to do from here as I’m not familiar with creating apps
Hello Scott Banner,
Hope you are well. And sorry for the inconvenience. Please kindly elaborate more on your issue and please kindly share the related URLs. if possible, please, give your temporary wp-admin login details in a private reply to check the issue.
Thank you and regards
Here what can i suggest,
1. Use Advanced Option on Warning Screen: When you see the “Google hasn’t verified this app” warning, look for a small text link at the bottom that says “Advanced” or “Continue to [your app name]”. Click this, then you should see an option to proceed despite the warning.
Configure OAuth Consent Screen:
2. Go to your Google Cloud Console
Navigate to “APIs & Services” > “OAuth consent screen”
Make sure you’ve set up the consent screen with appropriate app information
Set the app to “External” if it’s not already
Add the necessary scopes for Google Drive access (likely Drive API scopes)
3. Check API Activation:
Ensure the Google Drive API is enabled in your Google Cloud Console
Go to “APIs & Services” > “Library” and search for “Google Drive”
Click “Enable” if it’s not already enabled
4. Verify OAuth Credentials:
Go to “APIs & Services” > “Credentials”
Ensure your OAuth 2.0 Client ID is configured correctly
Check that the authorized redirect URIs include your site’s callback URL
Please kindly check the above all steps. Please kindly check.
Thank you and regards
Does the issue still exist on your site? Please kindly check and let me know.
Thank you and regards
Yes, same issue exits
Sorry, was out of town for a few days. Yes, same problem exists. So there’s no away around getting that error and having to go through the “Advanced” option? My client will be the one adding downloads once I have this setup, I’d rather not have them see that error and have to explain the workaround,
Please kindly check and let me know if any issue exist more on your side. Please kindly check.
Thank you and reagards
Yes, still the same issue. How can I get the app verified by Google?

I enabled all non-sensitive scopes only, but it still shows the unverified alert
