After Google Play Service Update to Version 13 I Got an Error

After Google Play Service update to version 13 I got an error

You need to add the following in your manifest:

<application>
    <meta-data 
       android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
       android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    ...
</application>

EDIT:

This information can be found in the logcat error msg as well as on Setting Up Google Play Services (Thanks Brais Gabin)

Google Play Services v13 error meta-data in AndroidManifest

The Google Maps getting started guide says:

Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest

Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the
following declaration within the element. This embeds
the version of Google Play services that the app was compiled with.

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

How to fix google play service error

One of your dependency is having different version of com.google.android.gms.

Update

Firebase dependencies are having independent versions unlike past. If
you have version conflicts then you can update your
com.google.gms:google-services. and start defining independent
version.

Update com.google.gms:google-services

Go to top (project) level build.gradle and update com.google.gms:google-services to version 4.1.0 or newer if available.

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' //< update this 
    }
}

Update Firebase dependencies to Latest Versions

Firebase dependency versions can be individual. So check Latest Versions.

com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3    //Analytics
com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.2    //Realtime Database

Orignal Solution (Useful)

Ways to resolve:

1. Exclude com.google.android.gms from conflicted dependency.
2. Update that dependency if available.
3. Change your com.google.android.gms version as conflicted version.

Problem

how to see which dependency is using com.google.android.gms?

1. Solution by command

For Android, use this line

 gradle app:dependencies

or if you have a gradle wrapper:

./gradlew app:dependencies

where app is your project module.

Additionally, if you want to check if something is compile vs. testCompile vs androidTestCompile dependency as well as what is pulling it in:

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency <name>
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration testCompile --dependency <name>
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration androidTestCompile --dependency <name>

2 Use these plugins

Gradle View is an Android Studio plugin that you can install and show dependency hierarchy.
Methods Count is another plugin, it also shows dependency tree.

Error after upgrade Google Play Services to 11.0.0 version

You should delete the line apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Because apply plugin: 'com.android.application' already has same package.

That's where the conflict arises.

UPDATE:

Use Play services version 11.0.1

Google Play Services update

This worked for me:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Place this at the end of your manifest, after your Map API key meta-data tag. Since you check for GPlayServices availability in your onCreate method, such as:

// Check status of Google Play Services
int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);

// Check Google Play Service Available
try {
    if (status != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(status, this, RQS_GooglePlayServices).show();
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e("Error: GooglePlayServiceUtil: ", "" + e);
}

...then once you click the dialog box to update GPlayServices, you will be brought to the GPlayStore. Usually, I uninstall from the GPlayStore menu, then the option to update will be available. It should work after that.

Google Play Service out of date error

I think there is an open issue about the error that you receive "Google Play Services out of date on API 23" Also, this kind of issue came out during 2013 when you update your SDK to 18. Just check the link of this issue to know more about it.

What can I suggest you is update your dependency on the latest version. After you update it, create a new virtual device/emulator when testing the application. Try to use the x86-64 version of API 23.

Play Store Warning : play-services-safetynet (com.google.android.gms:play-services-safetynet) has reported critical issues with version 17.0.0

com.google.gms:google-services itself has contained safetyNet API. As you see in version of gg services to latest 4.3.13, it has
safetyNet ver 18.0 and it's OK.
