Generates a new session during which the user can pick photos and videos for third-party access.
If the user doesn't have an active Google Photos account, a FAILED_PRECONDITION
error is returned.
If the client application creates too many sessions per user, a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
error is returned. Clients are unlikely to reach these limits under normal circumstances. However, clients are still recommended to call sessions.delete
after each session, to proactively stay within resource limits.
