Just got a new Google Play Games update. SWGOH works on my phone again!
Workaround found: Go back to old Google Play version.
You need the app "Droid Hardware" to figure out DPI version and cpu type of your device
then grab the right apk from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-games/google-play-games-2020-04-18184-release/
De-Install the 2020-06 version of Google Play from your device (this won't delete any settings).
Upload the APK to your device, if you did not make the download directly on it.
Open a file browser, search the apk file and klick it.
You might be asked to activate insecure installations - which you must confirm.
Installation should only take a couple of seconds
Next, go to Play Store and search in "Your software" / "installed Software" for the "Play Games" entry. Do NOT hit the update button, but look for the three dot context menu and deactivate the auto-update.
Next, go to the Settings App, and De-Activate the insecure side-installation option for security reasons.
Next - enjoy the game!
Hope this helps folks.
@EA_HighCommand & Capital Games: SHAME!!! The least we excpect is you to confirm an issue and not just discussing it away. SHAME!!!
CG has now confirmed the issue:

Looks like the issue is that CG is using a deprecated login method in the game client which Google cleaned up in the latest release. It's the same deprecated method that caused login issues in November 2018.
I have the same problems since 2 days
