Replacing Com.google.android.gms:play-services With Google-play-services.jar

I am building a google maps app on android using android studio When I released the first version of my app, no one was able to view the google maps as google play services must b

Solution 1:

google-play-services.jar will only interract with installed play services on the smartphone. You can't emmbed the play service application in your apk, there's nos sense.

For peoples who want to use your application, they need to download it by the play store or maybe they already have google music or google maps on their phone, so they have play services installed.

So just add google play services in your gradle file compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:(version)'
