Answer 1

The answer is in your error log, Activate the Google API in developers settings in your account.

Answer 2

I found this question after some googling, and I was not very satisfied with @Babar's answer, as it id not actually resolve my problem.

After a lot of digging around I found that you have to enable the Google+ API (some also say you need the Contacts API) in your developer console. I did not have to do this before, but apparently some change has come around.

To do so, do the following steps:

1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project
2. Select your project
3. Press "APIs & auth" from the side-panel
4. Press "APIs" from the dropdown
5. Find and enable Google+ API and Contacts API
6. After they are enabled, WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES for the APIs to kick in.

Now you should be able to use the Oauth2 login again.

Answer 3

I was also having a similar issue with my Rails app throwing error 403. So I resolved it by upgrading the omniauth gems by running bundle update devise omniauth omniauth-google-oauth2 in the terminal.
