[Django]-Google OAUTH gives 502 error

To serve static files I highly recommend you to use whitenoise http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/stable/django.html

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'staticfiles')
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
  # 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
  'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
  # ...
]

No need to run collectstatic as heroku will do that for you. What that does is puts all the files into the STATIC_ROOT for you (all compressed and with a hashed file name for long expires).
