<AppName> is having trouble with Google Play services. Please try again.

[dlcole]

I've been receiving the subject error message on Android emulators, so I created a minimal Google maps app - only displays an empty map - and I receive the same error.

I created a Stack Overflow post, but with no answers. Now that I've recreated the error with the only plugin being google-maps-sdk, I'm opening an issue here. I'd love to get this fixed soI can return to testing on Android emulators.

[kylawamg]

I have the same issue...any updates? thanks!

[dlcole]

For what it's worth, this sure looks like an Android Studio emulator problem. That said, I've created multiple new emulators with various API levels, all with the same result. I've also specified various versions of Google Play Services, but again, no joy. I'm hoping someone can at least find a bypass. I'll continue to poke at it.

Hey @dlcole and @kylawamg I got this to work, here's what I did.

1. Make sure Google Play services is enabled/installed inside of Android Studio Click SDK Manager in the top right of Android Studio to see the following:

It should prompt for a download after you check the box and hit apply.

2. Add the following line in your AndroidManifest.xml file between your <application> tags: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="yourKeyHere"/>

3. Then I got an issue with some java dynamite maps reference, adding the following line just before the line in step 2 resolved this error: <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false"/>

4. Restart your emulator and it should prompt you to enable location services, accept and it should be good to go!

Let me know if you have any issues and I'll try to help you out!

[dlcole]

@tylerablake - I was excited to see your post and see if it would solve the problem for me. Alas, no luck. I did need to install play services, so here's what the SDK Tools looks like now:

I already had the API key in my AndroidManifest.xml, but I added the line from your step 3:

<!-- See https://github.com/dapriett/nativescript-google-maps-sdk/issues/339 -->
<uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="@string/nativescript_google_maps_api_key" />

I noticed on the SDK Tools your emulator is back-level to what I'm using; not sure if that may be the issue or not. What does your app.gradle file look like? Did you add anything there for GooglePlayServices version?

[tylerablake]

Hi @dlcole, sorry it didn't work for you, I also added a new file before-plugins.gradle

With the following contents project.ext.googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"

That is all I had to do to get it working for me.

Hope this helps!

[dlcole]

@tylerablake Very interesting! I tried specifying the googlePlayServicesVersion in app.gradle, and no luck. Then I commented that out and added the file before-plugins.gradle, as you suggested. Now it works! Thanks so much for your pointers; I don't think I would have ever figured this out on my own :-).

[tylerablake]

No problem! Glad I could help! Happy NativeScripting!

[Feedmeknowledge]

@tylerablake Searched for a solution for a couple of days, only found your solution to work. Awesome. Thank you.

[tylerablake]

@Feedmeknowledge No problem!

[himustofa]

Where is project.ext.googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1"

[tylerablake]

@himustofa I put that inside of the before-plugins.gadle file

[himustofa]

I have installed SDK Android 9.0, Android 7.1.1 and Android 6.0. Google Play services and else more. A few days ago update my Android Studio 3.4 (gradle 3.4.0). Now Google maps did not show in the emulator, the display is having trouble with google play services. please try again

But display google maps in real device!!! What is the problem, do you have any solutions?

@himustofa try this. I think the issue might be you need to re-enable Google Play services after your recent update of Android Studio for Google Maps to show on emulator

1. Make sure Google Play services is enabled/installed inside of Android Studio Click SDK Manager in the top right of Android Studio to see the following:

It should prompt for a download after you check the box and hit apply.

1. Add the following line in your AndroidManifest.xml file between your <application> tags: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="yourKeyHere"/>
2. Then I got an issue with some java dynamite maps reference, adding the following line just before the line in step 2 resolved this error: <uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false"/>
3. Restart your emulator and it should prompt you to enable location services, accept and it should be good to go!

[NameYeoWool]

In my case, change implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:16.1.0' to implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.0.0' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:16.0.0'

Log cat : google play servie out of date

so, downgrade library version

[himustofa]

Thanks for your important information.

[guiguille]

Did someone find a proper solution for this issue ?

After deactiving and reactiving the google play services, it works 🤷‍♂️

[saechimdaeki]

This error occurs after the computer suddenly shuts down by itself. It is working well on the cell phone.
