Content API for Shopping Unable to Auth using .Net

[L W]

Hello,

I am following https://developers.google.com/shopping-content/guides/how-tos/testing on testing the Content API. The Nuget package version is the most up-to-date Google.Apis.ShoppingContent.v2_1 1.51.0.2261.

I am running the test locally (localhost), and have also tried to create a New API key in Content API page inside Google Merchant Center directly, and it doesn't work neither. Both ended up creating a service account respectively. (Account access page in Google Merchant Center show those service accounts as Pending)

Here is the code snippet. 

string[] scopes = new string[] { ShoppingContentService.Scope.Content };

var credential = GoogleCredential.FromFile("content-api-key.json").CreateScoped(scopes);

var service = new ShoppingContentService(new BaseClientService.Initializer

{

    ApplicationName = "Test App Name",

    HttpClientInitializer = credential

});

var authinfo = service.Accounts.Authinfo().Execute();

And AccountIdentifiers is always null. I could see content-api-key.json loaded just fine while debugging. I am the sole owner and user of the Account. The API Key json file was downloaded directly as I was creating the New API key. 

I know this looks simple, but I cannot see where an error could come from.

Thanks in advance!
