How to obtain a google-services.json file for Android app from Google Cloud Platform?

I've been trying to get started on an Android app with Google Sign in as a principal feature, and one of the steps I've encountered in the process of getting the integration working is creating a google-services.json file in the ./app directory, which can apparently somehow be downloaded. Google's docs are wholly incomplete, especially for a newbie Android, so I've been learning from a tutorial I found from about a year ago.

I haven't figured out how to get a google-services.json file, especially because the prerequisite page that the above docs link refers to for downloading a google-services.json file instead helps me obtain a credentials.json file. Are these the same thing? Do they work the same way? Is credentials.json the new version of google-services.json? I'm very confused.

You can use credential.js instead of google-service.json file. Google signing will work fluently. And yeah you can say its upgraded version but if you want google-service.json file you must link your account with Firebase

You need to link your app to Firebase Console. After linking you will get google-services.json file. You can easily download from the firebase console. Visit https://console.firebase.google.com/
