Google Play Games API returns SIGN_IN_REQUIRED

I'm trying to implement automating player sign in to Google Play games in my Android app. Firstly, as mentioned here, I try to sign in silently:

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    signInSilently();
}

private void signInSilently() {
    mGoogleSignInClient.silentSignIn().addOnCompleteListener(this, task -> {
        if (task.isSuccessful())
            //everything ok
        else {
            final ApiException exception = (ApiException) task.getException();
            if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                Log.d(TAG, "Silent Sign In failure: ", exception);
            if (exception.getStatusCode() == CommonStatusCodes.SIGN_IN_REQUIRED)
                startSignInIntent();
        }
    });

Every time I got an exception with code 4 (CommonStatusCodes.SIGN_IN_REQUIRED). So in this case I try to sign in with ui:

private void startSignInIntent() {
    startActivityForResult(mGoogleSignInClient.getSignInIntent(), RC_SIGN_IN);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int request, int response, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(request, response, data);
    if (request == RC_SIGN_IN) {
        final GoogleSignInResult result = Auth.GoogleSignInApi.getSignInResultFromIntent(data);
        if (result.isSuccess()) {
            // everything is ok, get account from result
        } else if (result.getStatus().hasResolution()) {
            resolveManually(result.getStatus());
        } else {
            String message = result.getStatus().getStatusMessage();
            if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                Log.d(TAG, "status code" + result.getStatus().getStatusCode());
            if (message == null || message.isEmpty()) {
                message = "other error";
            }
            new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setMessage(message)
                    .setNeutralButton(android.R.string.ok, null).show();
        }
    }
}

And here everytime I get message with other error! The status code is again 4 (CommonStatusCodes.SIGN_IN_REQUIRED). How can I get this code when I try to sign in using intent? So, my app are in infinite loop because onResume is called everytime my activity loads after receiving a result, and everytime the status code is CommonStatusCodes.SIGN_IN_REQUIRED. So, where is the problem? In Google samples there is no information how can I handle automatic sign in, only manual with sign in buttons. But google recommends to use automating sign in. Please help anybody to understand what is wrong here.

There was wrong OAuth 2.0 client ID for the debug version of my app! Don't know why there is SIGN_IN_REQUIRED status code in this situation, it is really confusing!

You must not start the login screen from your onResume method. It is a silent login which works if the user wants it (by tapping a button). That's why the examples show it only this way.
