QuestionSecuring oAuth Client Id and Secret Pin

I have a desktop app that consumes a Google API. Right now the Client Id and Secret are defined as constant strings in plain text and built into the app.I'd like to secure them with encryption, but then I would have to store the key somewhere, which doesn't solve the problem.

What's the best way to secure the Id and Secret?

Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
