How to test Google Play Game Services using our developer account?

According to https://developers.google.com/games/services/console/testpub#enabling_accounts_for_testing it is mandatory to add ourselves to the list of testers otherwise that won't work.

However, in fact, I can only authenticate using test accounts that are not developer accounts, even after adding the developers to the list of test accounts. Am I doing something wrong?

The error is the same as in google play game services - testing accounts login results in unknown error but the given solution is not working. It only works with non-developer accounts.

I also encountered this problem and I ignored it for several weeks (I used a separate account for testing). Eventually, I realised that the developer account did not have Google + enabled on it. When I enabled Google + (having previously added the developer account to the list of testers) I was then able to use it for testing.

I think this is mentioned in the "top 7 developer mistakes video" (seven deadly sins?)

Hope this helps !
