when I deploy my android app on android mobile version 4.4 (lollipop), I am
getting a message that "app won't run unless you update Google play
services"
I looked at my android mobile and can see that Google play services version
is 5.1.89. I know in my code I am using 8.4.0
I don't want android to show popup to user to update google play services
can any android mobile app expert help me fix this issue. how do I make my
app backward compatible without asking user to update google services?
my build.gradle is as follows
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
buildTypes {
debug {
debuggable true
}
}
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com"
minSdkVersion 17
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
dexOptions {
preDexLibraries = false
}
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}
lintOptions {
checkReleaseBuilds false
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
}
