How to make authorization through Google for API on Laravel?

Question

Google

There is an Android application, there is also an API written in Laravel, normal authorization works without problems, the problem occurs when I try to get user information from Google, for access I use the token that comes from the application and the google driver in Socialite, as follows:

$user = Socialite::driver('google')->userFromToken($request->access_token);

I get the following error:

I found a solution to the problem here:

But I don't understand why Socialite cannot get information with an already existing token that came from the application?
