androidpublisher & projectNotLinked error

So spent few hours dealing with project linking error on Google Play. Will leave it here in case someone is stuck with error.

If you receive this response, when making request to Android Publisher API, but your project is already linked:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 403, 
    "message": "The project id used to call the Google Play Developer API has not been linked in the Google Play Developer Console.", 
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "androidpublisher", 
        "message": "The project id used to call the Google Play Developer API has not been linked in the Google Play Developer Console.", 
        "reason": "projectNotLinked"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Try to create new In App Product. If there is a product created before linking, it fails on product transaction fetching when making purchase. With new product error goes away.
