I'm trying to connect to Google Play services. It used to work perfectly a few months ago, and now I'm getting my onConnectionFailed
method to invoke with error code SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED
.
Pretty self explanatory, yet I'm already on the latest version:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.6.1'
Why am I getting this error?
Oh, just figured out that I also need to update an app on the device called "Google Play Services" for my app to work (and weird enough, it's not even even found when I search Google Play, I had to use the link at the answer on Service Version update required?).
Updated it and now my app works. Absolutely ridiculous. I really wonder whose idea was making software components dependent on other apps.
Anyway, problem "solved".
