According to the docs (https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus/blob/master/README.md#4-installation-phonegap-cli--cordova-cli ) you need to supply a WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID variable.

How can i find the value ?

4

It looks like from here: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-googleplus/blob/master/README.md#browser

That you generate it using the google dev console.

I understood that its the same as REVERSED_CLIENT_ID and i just have to add my url adress … am i right ?

Nope create an app in google developer console

After you have found it, install the plugin like this

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googleplus --variable REVERSED_CLIENT_ID=com.googleusercontent.apps.RaNdOmVaLuEs --variable WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID=RaNdoMvAlUeS.apps.googleusercontent.com
