Should I set scopes in the OAuth Consent Screen?
Our backup method does not require any sensitive or restrictive scopes as defined by google; however, setting scopes for your application will limit the functionality to only what is required from the permission if the temporary auth token was to get compromised. It is recommended by google to register all scopes
Should I get google approval?
You do not need to in order to publish your app because we don't require sensitive or restrive scopes; however, if you would like brand verification you will need to get google permissions. Those times vary from a couple days to two weeks. Google docs
