Description
Im using your Google Auth adapter for web login. my call to google yields an access_token (rather than ID token), the token is not a standard JWT and looks like the following : ya29.a0AfH6SMDBFlJErplnG3niNU_qksL9yyOfbbYJO5DF7uDPGVpIx4ef6CEBfxZ00QBDdDeLtOQsPQqzz57tn7AUwHxhO0vT0Lg49spIsaWgVkE_lWmhC29Kgcl-DueDWFdS8f57w5KLFusqvLtwlLCkNfAZIeqgJN6Kg_2
It seems that Google have updated their Oauth2 APIs, I also see you have updated your Google auth provider however it doesnt accept this as a valid JWT, is there some other way to authenticate with Google and Parse now ?

Research direction
Start with the Google Auth adapter/provider and the linked Google OAuth2 documentation, tracing the distinction between the supplied access token and an ID token. Confirm the authentication credential contract expected by Parse; done when a supported Google sign-in flow is identified and its expected token type is clear.
