ComputeEngineCredentials.createScoped copies existing AccessToken

[erlendnils1]

After upgrading com.google.oauth-client from v1.21.0 to 1.23.0 we started getting 403 ACCESS_TOKEN_SCOPE_INSUFFICIENT errors from the PlayIntegrity.decodeIntegrityToken service. This was the case until the initial AccessToken expired after which it started working again.

We obtained the credentials used (through a HttpCredentialsAdapter) to access the PlayIntegrity service in this way:

var scopedCredentials = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault().createScoped(PlayIntegrityScopes.all());

The cause of the changed behavior appears to be from this commit:
7e26861
which changes the ComputeEngineCredentials.createScope implementation to copy a lot more state from the original ComputeEngineCredentials object to the new, scoped ComputeEngineCredentials object. This includes copying the AccessToken from the original, which does not seem like the desired behaviour when the scopes are updated.

We have added an immediate refresh after creating the scoped credentials to make sure we get a new access token with the correct scope. This has solved the issue for us, but I assume this may be a gotcha that affects more users.

Workaround:

var scopedCredentials = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault().createScoped(PlayIntegrityScopes.all());
scopedCredentials.refresh();
