Make function like

public static boolean isGameCenterDisabled() {
    
    int status = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(_appActivity);
    
    if (status == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){ return false;}
    
    return true;
    
}

After that before calling any google play services function make check if google play services are supproted on this device like this:

public static void initGameServices() {
    if (!isGameCenterDisabled()) {
        nativeInitGPGS(_appActivity);
        nativeOnActivityCreated(_appActivity, bundl);
    }
}

I’m not calling anything inside the Google Play services lib manually. I’m aware of the said check.

Google Play services out of date. Requires 7895000 but found 7571038
for me it looks that you are trying to use google play services…

6

Yes, that is correct. Google Play Services is integrated, iirc it was required by some plugin from SDKBox.

7

Btw I would recomend to not use latest google play services, it’s requiring to be compiled against android version 23… and can cause issue on older devices itslef. use older versions… like 7.3 or even 6.5…

SKDBOX picking by default from android sdk gpg versions and if u updated sdk it will pick latest, not always best choice…

8

Ok, I always thought Google Play is fully backwards compatible. Seems like it’s not. Thanks, I’m going with 6.5.87, since it’s the first version the splitting is available.

Thank you.

Have you tried using our Cocos Helper which has Google Play Services built in, along with setup videos http://www.sonarsystems.co.uk/cocoshelper.php
