Problem with Oauth consent screen

When I try to access the "OAuth consent screen" tab, I'm redirected to my project's homepage.
I've tried using both Firefox and Edge, but the issue persists.
I also attempted to access the page directly via its URL in the address bar, but in all cases, I still can't access the tab.

I’ve seen this kind of redirect loop before, really frustrating. In one of my projects, the issue ended up being tied to how the project was originally created. If the OAuth consent screen was never initialized properly (like if the project was created via an API or inherited from a different org), it can glitch out like this.

Try switching to another project, open the OAuth consent screen there (even if it’s blank), then switch back to your target project from the dropdown. Sounds silly, but it forced a UI refresh for me. Incognito or another device can also help rule out cookie/session weirdness. One time it only worked on my phone, oddly enough.

If nothing works, try spinning up a fresh project just to access the consent screen, then compare IAM & settings to the broken one.

I'm having the same issue. No matter what I do, when I click the OAuth consent screen nav link or use a direct link it sends me back to the Overview page. I've tried different devices, incognito tab, tried creating a new project, no luck...

This problem solved the equation of good standing but why ?

I'm having the same problem. I had already configured the OAuth client to use Google Play Games services. It was working correctly, but yesterday my testers started reporting that they couldn't log in to see the leaderboard. When I went into the Google console, I saw a message saying that I had to configure the OAuth consent screen before adding credentials (I already had the credentials). Now if I try to go to the "OAuth consent screen," I'm redirected to the "OAuth overview" page.

I don't know what to do anymore... I need help.
