title: Always getting UserRecoverableAuthException for NEED_PERMISSION even when verify app from device?
body: <p>I am using Google Cross Client Identity. Procedure which I had followed for this is:</p>
  
  <p>a) Create a project in Google API Console.
  b) Generate Client-Id for installed app(Android)
  c) Generate Client-Id for web application.
  d) I have to use Google Drive of user at server-end(offline) after he/she verifies it at Android end.</p>
  
  <p>For this I create scope like this:</p>
  
  <p>String CLIENT_ID = "60000000007.apps.googleusercontent.com";
  String scope = "server:client_id:"+CLIENT_ID+":api_scope:"+DriveScopes.DRIVE+" "+"<a href="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login" rel="nofollow">https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login</a>";</p>
  
  <p>Now I have to retrieve Authentication Code, which I have to forward to my server end.
  For this here is my full source code:</p>

  <p>Here I am handling UserRecoverableAuthException so that user could verify the app.</p>
  
  <p>Everything work's fine n this code, when asked for permission to access data I allow it through
  device. But again I get the screen to verify app as getToken() always through same Exception.
  I don't know where I am lacking. </p>
  
  <p>Also my code work's fine if I have to retrieve only access token using scope:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String scope = "oauth2:"+DriveScopes.DRIVE;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is also an weird problem I am facing this code work's fine on emulator 4.2 Google API 17 version. But not on any device.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my Logcat outfor this code:</p>
