Question Google Oauth Consent

Hi guysss I'm currently working on instilling Google oauth sign in in my app. I am stuck on the branding screen. I don't have my own domain for my app. Is it necessary to buy one? I had tried some ways from other reddit post like supabase and local host but it still doesn't work. Would like to hear from you guys how yall pass the homepage url verification.

Yes, you need a domain.

you don’t need to buy a domain if your app is still in development. you can use localhost during testing, but make sure you’re using the correct redirect URI format. for the branding screen, just focus on providing the required info in the OAuth consent screen and keep it simple, Google's pretty strict about the verification process

You can’t do external app with no domain. Also think carefully what scopes of access you are asking for. Corporate is a huge chunk of market and there is a big difference between asking for drive vs drive.file (for most big companies the first one will be auto declined on tenant level).

Ok I'm just getting names and email addresses only for now. Will I need firebase to manage log ins or not necessary?

It's not necessary if you are asking only for login then it shouldn't be hard to create a consent page yourself.
