Getting error while Ionic Angularfire2 signin using Google

Question

I am trying google signin using AngularFire2. Google authentication is working perfectly when I use this.afAuth.auth.signInWithPopup. But signInWithPopup is only for browser and wont work for mobile app. As per google documentation, signInWithRedirect should be used for app. I tried using method but it is opening browser for signin.

Instead I tried using cordova google plus plugin to signin, and using the accessToken to authenticate Firebase.

When I try to call login method of cordova plugin, it is throwing error, and error has only '17' number.

I have following questions

Is there anything I am missing?
What is the better way to sign in ionic mobile app using google plus?
what is the meaning of error '17'?

Here is my code

this.gPlus.login({
    webClientId: '<myClientID>',
    offline: true
  })
  .then(res => {
    this.afAuth.auth.signInWithCredential(res.accessToken);
  }, (err) => {

    console.log(err) // Logging 17 here.
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  })

Your scenario is right. But first, you should figure out the error come from which step. Cordova google login or firebase login? — Duannx, Jan 03 '18 at 02:11
@Duannx, It’s coming from cordova google login. I can catch it in catch method — Laxmikant Dange, Jan 03 '18 at 03:52
Can you capture your error please? You do not need webClientId so just remove it. Try `this.gPlus.login({})` — Duannx, Jan 03 '18 at 04:14
@Duannx i tried passing empty object, its giving same error. And error has value 17 — Laxmikant Dange, Jan 03 '18 at 04:49

let provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
firebase.auth().signInWithRedirect(provider).then(() => {
    firebase.auth().getRedirectResult().then((result)=>{

    }).catch(function(error){

    }) 
})

Use this code for signin using google. It will surely open browser for signin but it can also have facility for getting you back to the desired page in application. You will get the data as well.
