We also receive very little love from Google. They are notorious for not helping developers, which is tragic.
Google are terrible at developer support, but I think it is fair to say that they didn't foresee anybody using the Tasks API in this way, where you are proxying for all your users. Keep persisting, but as a temporary measure I would prompt your users to provide you with their own API key. Lots of apps do this (such as CMS plugins). You can give them a link to the API portal and explain in 2-3 points how to generate a…

> Google does give a lot of love to developers. That simply isn't true. They have support for some very specific areas which they consider of specific importance (e.g. Android), for the rest you're left to rot. > Perhaps they do not have a corresponding relations team focused on operations support. This has nothing to do with ops, it's a developer needing a raise in his apps requests quota.
The core areas can have the opposite problem almost. The Adwords API has moved pretty quickly but they are also quick to remove things. Most stuff built in early 2012 would have had to be updated for changed/ removed features by now.
On the other hand, I am happy that even the big G cannot afford to cover all fronts. It means, there is still room for new players to grow and do well in those areas.
We developed a product specifically for Google Drive using their JavaScript client. We were hoping to make it commercial but had to abandon those plans due to 3 bugs that have been present since around the beginning of 2013. Also, there's no open bug tracker. The developer relations people are very friendly, but when I ask where to report bugs I'm told "just tell me". So every 2 months I've reported the same 3 bugs i…
"I love what Google are doing" - but of course you do, it is called Stockholm Syndrome. Irony aside, i'm trully amazed of Google. See, the smallest misstep Apple makes, everybody jump to hate Apple. Google on the orher can do whatever they want and nada, everybody jump in to alleviate the evelasting, unconditional love, no matter what. Remarkable achievement, hat off, in todays world.
Anybody has collected more down's for one comment, or is this some kind of record?

Heh-heh, this comment of mine has the most interesting history. First it went straight up to +12, and now it has come down to -4. So it has my personal record of minimum 16 downvotes. There were some bumps when it went up, so it is certainly more than 16, only i do not know how many. Anybody has collected more down's for one comment, or is this some kind of record?

There is a communication gap between them and the developers, the problem is there is no real person to talk and sort things out.
Email me. I know someone who might be able to help you.
Kudos for assisting, its just frustrating to realize its needed.
Perhaps slightly off-topic: The name, GmailSharedTasks, doesn't look like one that Google's legal department would agree with. Your brand/product name incorporates a Google trademark. It might have been better to call it "SharedTasks for Google Tasks™" or "SharedTasks for Gmail™". See "I'm a developer and used Google's developer products/tools to create a new product. Can I use the Google name?" on http://www.google.…

It is difficult to charge money from India as Individuals, paypal does not accept money for India nowadays and it is near to impossible to attach a international payment gateway. I thought of donation as well but again paypal issue.
Have you tried Instamojo?
