i have an app that uses game services. i was told to check something in the Google Api Console , but i can't see my project in the projects list at the Google Api Console. So , should my app appear there or no?
If your App uses Game Services it should appear there. This would have been created automatically by the Play Console when you added services to your game.

I want to implement the "sign in with Google" button in my Android app. And I read this:
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you
must configure a Google Developers Console project and set up your
Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next
steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
And in order to publish the app I need also a Google Play Console, and I was wondering why do I need to create a Project in Google Developers Console?
Can I make this also in Google Play console??
What is the difference between Google Developers console and Google Play console?
Thanks
Cheers
Google Developers console you can think of as a Google "Cloud" console. Almost anything to do with interacting with Google servers from your app is done there. Most of the APIs and features are cross-platform iOS, Android and Web. You can find it at https://console.developers.google.com/.
Signing in with Google is a cloud feature, and cross-platform so lives there. You can have a Google account on any platform.
Google Play console is focused on publishing your app to Android users. If you want stats for running your business, to affect the store listing, or roll out a new APK that's where to go.
Please read carefully to avoid ambiguity in the use of Google terminology.
I linked my Google Play Games Game to my Google Play Game, and then I had to remove this link in the Google Developer Console. I recreated the link and my SHA1 code became available again. Now I received a message that my previous project will be completely removed from Google Developer Console. Will it also be removed from Google Play?
AFAIK both serves different purposes, google play is used for launching apps, where as developer console is for using various API's provided by the google.
So Once you delete your project from developer console it will be gone from google developer console not google play console. and but you can restore it until 7 days of deletion.
Google play console is used for publishing, updating or deleting your Android Apk from Google PlayStore.
I have a google play app, linked to a google play game services project. However, I believe I accidentally deleted the google play game services project from the google developer console, so now it shows up in google play developer console, but not in the google developer console. In the google play developer console, in the game services project, I'm constantly getting
An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. (1700404)
(I'm assuming this is because the underlying developer console project was deleted). Well, now it's really screwed up because I can't add a new game services project, but the current one isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I recommend that you start again from the beginning with a new app in the Google Play Developer Console (i.e. use a different apk name). Do not make changes to Google Play Game Services apps in the developer console (if indeed that is its current name) unless specifically instructed to do so by a reliable source (e.g. a google guide).
You will find many tales of woe on Stack Overflow concerning problems arising from making changes in the developer console to Google Play Game Services apps. e.g :
Google Play Game Services - unable to sign in
I'm in the process of migrating from AdMob SDK to Google Play Services. I've done most of the job and things seem to be working fine, but I'm not sure I understand the logic behind some of the interaction.
The changes I've made can be found here: Google Play Services Migration.
When am I utilizing Google Play Services with my new code? The site "Set up Google Play Services SDK" states that your app should verify the version available before attempting to perform API transactions. However, when running my app on an emulator that does not have Google Play Services, I am still able to fetch an ad using an AdView and AdRequest.Builder(). I do however note the LogCat warning Google Play services is missing.. How can the ad still be showing?
Also, will the Google Play Services referenced library be included in the APK export, or is this just for the development environment?
Google Play Services consists of two components. One is the jar linked to the app and the other is part of the system (Android OS). The AdMob ad display component is in the jar while other play services are in the system.
If a app is built with Google Play Services you will have the ability to display AdMob ads, but you won't get some of the other Google Play Services features.
So yes, when your app is linked to the library some Google Play Service classes will be included in your APK.
It is also possible to display AdMob ads by using the older (now deprecated) AdMob SDK.
I am playing with the Google sample app relative to the Google Plus SDK (sample app provided by Google here: https://developers.google.com/+/quickstart/android)
I can run the sample app. But when I want to login to Google Plus from within the app, I get the message: "This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services". If I click on the update button, I see that I have got the last update of the Google Play Services (v3.2.66). In Eclipse, I have got rev. 13 of Google Plus SDK.
How can I solve this problem?
This was a bug in the Google+ app that is fixed in the latest build that came out today: https://plus.google.com/101870761930221849874/posts/KohXe9pBGF6 Sorry about that.
