I am using Google Play in-app updates to notify my uses for new updates. But the problem is in-app updates not working if the app is not installed from Google Play store.
With some curiosity how my production app in app updates working, I downloaded a lower version universal signed APK from play console and installed in my mobile. All is working fine but not getting in-app updates for that app.
Same version app on other device which is installed from Google play store is getting in-app updates.
Is this a bug in the play core API, or I did any mistake?
My android app google play service version is higher than the mobile phone google play service version. It was version '5.0.89'. But google location services are not working in my phone.
After I updated it to 8.1.0 my app location services started working fine. But I want to get this to work for lower versions too.
Can anybody help me??
I recently updated the android google sdk with the latest version of google play services library (7.5).
Since the update I cannot run my app on emulator : when I click sign in button a pop up appears saying that I need to install the latest version of google play games app.
Of course I'm using the latest google apis for the emulator image. What happens? Did I miss something?
It turns that now google play services is linked to google play games app. It seems that if you don't have the app installed you cannot run the game that uses google play services. The emulator of course come without the games app I have to manually install the apk and now it works again. :-o
I develop an android application and suppose to run any android version.
I notice that I can only install my application on android which has Google Play install. I think this is because I use Google Play library. Is there any way to install my application on android which has no Google Play Store?
if you dont absolutely need google play services, use other library.
or you can detect if a device doesnt have it, then display some information about installing the google play services on that device.
Error shown on android emulator :
"Google Play services ,which some of your application rely on, is not
supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for
assistance"
I have generated the key required to add in manifest, installed google play services and added reference to my project. my AVD is android 4.2.2(17)
I have also installed google api for android 4.2.2(17)
but still it isn't working.
Google play services are not installed in the emulators. You have to manually install the APKs for the required services you want to run on the emulator.
and as an alternative you can use genymotion emulator, they are pretty fast and come with google play services.
