    That error generally indicates that you don't have the relevant domain registered for your app in "Chooser / Saver / Embedder domains". You mentioned you registered "localhost", but are you actually running it on localhost? What's the URL of the page where you're trying to display it?

     

    You can also check the JavaScript console, which may contain some helpful error information.
