Will deprecated Google Sign-In scopes stop working?

Looks like Google has deprecated the following scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile  
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email

When will they completely stop working?

Solution

  • In short, no. They will not stop working.

    We are deprecating the following userinfo endpoints and scopes as of September 1, 2014 — we will maintain them and keep them available for backward compatibility

    • Deprecating the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile scope in favor of the equivalent profile scope or the broader https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login scope.

    • Deprecating the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email scope in favor of the equivalent email scope.

    Migrating to Google+ Sign-In

    However it is recommended that you don't continue to use deprecated features so you should simply update your scopes to be profile and email.
