After upgrading to google play services 8.4.0 my a

Question

I've been previously using google play services 8.3.0 without any issue. I'm looking to upgrade to google play services 8.4.0. I'm using the following play libraries:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'

When I start the app it crashes, with the following log.

12-27 03:01:33.915 20567-20567/com.ryanc.android.stage.debug E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Edit: Not sure it'll help, but at @gerardnimo request here is the full build.gradle file. Also worth noting I have tried a clean build and deleting and reinstalling play services sdks from my computer.

Answer 1

I was able you solve this. My coworker was able to upgrade without issues. I went to my sdk/extras folders saw mine was pretty different. So I moved my folder copied my coworkers and it worked.

I think that folder and maybe something else in the sdk folder had just gotten into an odd state, clearing the folder and redownloading may work too.

Answer 2

I have face same problem and resolve this issue by configuring proguard rules properly.

What I did here under as below:

First I have excluded google classes from obfuscating like this in proguard-rules.pro:

-keep public class com.google.** {*;}

Second I have enabled this minifyEnabled in build.gradle like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.e2e.quiz"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.2.1'
    compile project(':ast-dst')
}

Answer 3

Removing and reinstalling Google Services from the SDK manager and deleting the contents of your-project/.gradle/ solved it for me

Answer 4

Versions of play-services libs should be equal, for example:

DO

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'

DONT

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.8.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
