spring-social-google authentication does not redirect to register form page - spring

Question

I want to add Google Plus flavor to the code included in this Tutorial, however while signing in I get the following warning message from Log4J.
WARN - RestTemplate - GET request for "https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me" resulted in 403 (Forbidden); invoking error handler
and instead of redirecting to the registration form like it is for Facebook
and Twitter flavors I get redirected once again to the login page.
DEBUG - LoginController - Rendering login page.
The code for the tutorial is available here. These are the changes that I've made to it.

<name>Spring Social Sign In MVC Normal</name>
<description>
This example demonstrates how you can integration Spring Social 1.1.0,
Spring Security 3.2.0, and a "normal" Spring MVC application.
You can create an user account by using either "normal" form registration or
sign in by using a social media service.

resources/application.properties - added following lines
#Google
spring.social.google.appId=[here my appId]
spring.social.google.appSecret=[here my appSecret]
The rest of the changes are provided in the GitHub repository I have forked.
The app needs to be started by
mvn jetty:run -P dev -Djetty.port=8090
the jetty.port can be of course omitted if you have the port 8080 free to be bound.
I have read somewhere that the Google Plus request needs to be POST but it did not give me any other result, therefore the code in login.jsp looks like this
<div class="row social-button-row">
<div class="col-lg-4">
<!--form method="POST" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/auth/google?scope=email">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-google-plus"><i class="icon-google-plus"></i> | <spring:message code="label.google.sign.in.button"/></button>
</form-->
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-google-plus"><i class="icon-google-plus"></i> | <spring:message code="label.google.sign.in.button"/></button>
</div>
</div>
Has anyone faced and solved this problem? With Twitter and Facebook it works without any problems.
EDIT
I have spotted that after a handshake with Facebook or Twitter I get redirected to /singup page if the account does not exist yet. However with Google Plus I get redirected to /signin which of course redirects to /login because there is no user account in the database yet.

Answer 1

The problem was that the Google+ API was not enabled for my application in the Google Developers' Console. Why it is not enabled by default I have no idea.
Also this project helped me a lot to diagnose the reason of the issue.
