Getting profile information

  • After a user signs in with Google, you can access their basic profile information such as name, profile image URL, and email address.

  • User profile information is available through the GIDGoogleUser object once the user has authenticated and authorized access.

  • You should not use the user's profile information or userId to identify the signed-in user to your backend server; instead, use ID tokens.

After a user signs in with Google, you can get the user's basic profile information: their name, profile image URL, and email address.

Retrieving user information

Once the user has authenticated and authorized access to the scopes you request, you can access user profile information through the GIDGoogleUser object.

Swift

GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.signIn(withPresenting: self) { signInResult, error in
    guard error == nil else { return }
    guard let signInResult = signInResult else { return }

    let user = signInResult.user

    let emailAddress = user.profile?.email

    let fullName = user.profile?.name
    let givenName = user.profile?.givenName
    let familyName = user.profile?.familyName

    let profilePicUrl = user.profile?.imageURL(withDimension: 320)
}

Objective-C

[GIDSignIn.sharedInstance signInWithPresentingViewController:self
                                                  completion:^(GIDSignInResult * _Nullable signInResult,
                                                               NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (error) { return; }
    if (signInResult == nil) { return; }

    GIDGoogleUser *user = signInResult.user;

    NSString *emailAddress = user.profile.email;

    NSString *name = user.profile.name;
    NSString *givenName = user.profile.givenName;
    NSString *familyName = user.profile.familyName;

    NSURL *profilePic = [user.profile imageURLWithDimension:320];
}];
