What is `default_web_client_id` in the Auth Sample App about quickstart-android

[thatfiredev]

@cancan101 The default_web_client_id is automatically set by the google-services Gradle plugin when parsing the google-services.json file. It will be set at build time, so we don't need to manually add it to the strings.xml resource.

For reference, this is the line in the plugin source code where the value gets set:

https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins/blob/6cec2f5eff7b84fb4ccd45d47e8fe9ee79828a83/google-services-plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/google/gms/googleservices/GoogleServicesTask.kt#L255

Is there a placeholder value of sort that can be put into the code to keep the IDE from flagging those lines as having errors?

You can try copying the client_id from the google-services.json file to strings.xml (as described in this post). Since they're the same value, I assume there will be no problems.

I haven't tried setting a "fake" id as a placeholder so I'm not sure if that would take precedence over the one set by the google-services plugin.
