While configuring your OAuth consent screen for Google Drive connection, has anyone been able to change the status from “Publishing” to “In Production” to avoid the weekly reauthorization? It needs verification to publish app, therefore go through the Google verification process. Has anyone succesfully done this process?
Welcome to the Make community!
Verification is not required to remain in “Production”.
You can keep it in “Production” and ignore the suggestion to verify.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thx! I will keep it “in production” then and see…
No problem, glad I could help!

@samliew A couple of days ago, I was able to use Google apps like Gmail and Sheets without requiring verification.
However, while reviewing the integration with Google Drive to extract and read some images I needed for social media posts, I encountered an OAuth error:
Error: Missing or invalid image file (324, OAuthException)
Error: Invalid parameter (100, OAuthException)
I recalled that these types of permissions are usually requested when linking a Google app, which we need to create through Google Cloud by setting up a project, enabling the appropriate APIs, and creating the necessary OAuth client credentials.
Now, I’ve discovered that the app requires specific permissions labeled as “restricted.” According to Google and the OAuth 2.0 consent policies, in order to use or authorize access to “restricted” or “sensitive” scopes, the app must go through and pass a verification process.
Make’s documentation mentions that currently, verification is not required to use Google apps in our scenarios. However, they also note that this could change in the future and they cannot guarantee that it will remain this way.
So, I tried to start the verification process, but I got stuck at the step where you’re asked to provide the app’s domains. I’m unsure how to proceed because it states that you must include links to the app’s official website—one that you own—along with the privacy policy and terms & conditions.
My question is:
If I’m a Make user and I’m using a Google app that now requires verification, how can I complete the verification process successfully?
