I used to use old version of Google Play Services in my projects. But now I keep getting warnings when I upload my apps to Google Play. These warnings says that I have to update my Google Play Services.
I have the latest version of Google Play Services in SDK manager with Rev.49
In the last versions of Google Play Services, I can find the Google Play library in the following directory:
SDK --> /extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/
But now there is no libproject/google-play-services_lib/. Where can I get the library?

Hopefully you can migrate over to Android Studio, but if you're stuck with Eclipse because you're working on a legacy project, I feel for you! :(

It is very strange, I am very new and as per setup instructions, I need to install Google Play services from SDK Manager, I tried a lot and finally gave up.
I just downloaded the latest VERSION: 2.1.1.0 of SDK from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads
See below.
Can you please help me how to install the Google Play services ?
Google Repository is all you need for Google Play Services and you have that installed.
I am building a google maps app on android using android studio
When I released the first version of my app, no one was able to view the google maps as google play services must be installed on the devices by users ( I cant ask people to download that in each device) so I want to embed it into my app.
I have been searching for 4 days and no luck so far
I got that google-play-services.jar library can be added to the app and by that no need for the user to install play services
I am not sure if I should use google-play-services.jar or com.google.android.gms:play-services in my android studio app.
I read in other answers that I can use google-play-services.jar into my app so I can get Google Play Services ready without the need for user to install it.
in another said that com.google.android.gms:play-services is a must in the app!
Anyway has experience in this?
Please advice.
Thanks
google-play-services.jar will only interract with installed play services on the smartphone. You can't emmbed the play service application in your apk, there's nos sense.
For peoples who want to use your application, they need to download it by the play store or maybe they already have google music or google maps on their phone, so they have play services installed.
So just add google play services in your gradle file
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:(version)'
I've developed an android application that works well, but when i try to publish in the Google Play Store, it gives me an error that says i have google play services version 6111000 and need to have google play services version 5100000 or lower.
I've found a similar problem here that already have a solution but its for Android Studio, and i am using Eclipse. So how can i do that in Eclipse?
Thanks
Google Play Services just finished the rollout of Google Play Services 6.1 today. You should update the Google Play Services SDK to the new version and try publishing again.
I just made an app for android, so I try to upload it for ditribution through the play store, but when I upload the apk file, an error shows up saying that I use version 5208000 of the google play services, it say that I need to use version 5100000 or lower, it makes no sense it was just the version that the sdk manager downloaded. It does not have an option to download the previous one, I try to use compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.77' but it says that it is not found. How can I download it? I downloaded the google play services for froyo, I tried using the support library and nothing works. How come I cant use the latest version?
Google Play Services 5.2.08 is the Google Fit Developer Preview and not yet available on all devices. You should use 5.0.89 (which replaced 5.0.77 due to issues in 5.0.77) for production apps at this time.
I am trying to find change-logs for Google Play Services for Android.When I am trying to use latest Google Play Service SDK with my Library project My app crashes since It was complied with earlier version of Google Play Service SDK.New SDK doesn't contains certain methods which were available in previous versions.
I would really appreciate If somebody can point me out to Google Play services changelog.
Thanks.
There you go,
