I am new to Google API usage, so please excuse the seemingly basic question.
I am writing a mobile app for members of a Club. The app needs to access a Google calendar and photo storage both maintained by the Club admin. I am having difficulty getting my head around the type of app I should be creating (Web Client, IOS, Android or all). When the OAuth consent screen opens, I am not sure which credentials the user should be entering (theirs or the Club admin).
What is required to allow the user to gain access to the shared calendar and photos?

Good morning.
I use google calendar API.
My program create a connection with the google calendar of multiple users.
From each user, i have their credential.json, but when the app start the first time show the browser quickstart confirm. How i can skip this step?
Thanks anticipated
I think you have seriously misunderstood how Oauth2 works.
You the developer goes to Google developer console and registers your application. If you will be requesting data from other users you will need to create Oauth2 credentials this will give you credeitnals.json file used by your application to request authorization of a user.
When each of your users runs your application they will be requested to consent to your application authorizing their data. If they do you will be granted an access token which gives you access to their data, this access token will expire after one hour. If you have also request offline access then you will also have a refresh token. If you store this refresh token some place then you will be able to access the users data when ever you need to by using it to request a new access token.
As for the unverified app screen, when you create your application it is basically in developer state, this is so that you can build and test your application. When you are ready to go to production you can request that your application be verified by google
Once your app has been verified the unverified app screen will stop showing up.
I have an app that uses Google login as one of the modes for login/signup the users in the app. Unfortunately, I missed saving the user-id received after logging-in using Google, and therefore, I can't seem to find the users who have used Google for creating the account on my app.
Is there a way I can track the count of the users who has used the Google login using the client-id Google provides while integrating the Google login button?
Now I want to develop an application on ARM with libspotify to play music.So I buy a premium account on spotify to get the API key.My original idea is that anyone who has my equipment could enjoy the music served by spotify,but the spotify does not allow to play the same song by the same account on different equipment at the same time.And even the user has their own account,they can not login from the application developed by my API key.How can I resolve the contradiction
As per Spotify's Docs, users must have premium accounts to use that functionality.
Login
To access Spotify functionality the user will need log in using Spotify or Facebook credentials. The logged in account needs to be a PREMIUM one. Note that in the Spotify login flow can be shown when the user e.g. tries to play music, it doesn’t need to come when launching the app. When logging in the user will need to accept our terms of service: spotify.com/legal.
i want to develop an android app using youtube API 3.
It is necessary that the user who will be using the app has to login with his/her gmail credentials to actually view a video?
Or just registering the app here https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application is fine and the user watching the video or using the app need not login to his/her gmail account.

No. Authentication via OAuth is only necessary if your application requires access to "private user data". Simply viewing a video does not meet those requirements.

Several month ago, before FB restricting the ability of a Page Account to create apps, I have created an application and linked to the page.
Now I cannot access anymore to the developers page with this account. I had to create a new app with my personal account, but I can't find a way to remove or unlink the old app from the page.
I cannot create a new page, as a result of nearly one year of activity on the current page, and trying to link the new app to the old page I get an undefined error.
We are in a sort of limbo...
Anyone has an idea on how to solve this situation?
I'm assuming you mean 'business account', not Page?
If so, and you're still able to log into the business account to manage your ads and pages, you can authorise your app by manually calling the Oauth dialog with the client-side Oauth flow, then use the access token (which will be for your business account, the admin of the app), to add your real user account as an additional admin
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/application/#roles
You can define a role for a user by issuing an HTTP POST request to
APP_ID/roles with a user access token for an administrator of the app...
So a call to https://graph.facebook.com/<APP ID>/roles?user=<USER ID OF REAL ACCOUNT>&role= administrators&access_token=<ACCESS TOKEN>&message=POST will add another admin
