Missing metadata tag with the name "com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID" in the application tag of your manifest

NUM_OF_TRIES_TO_FIX_THIS=12;//I'm counting the apk's

So we are having a big problem, we are 2 steps away from releasing our app, but we are not able to implement google play services into our app. It keeps telling us this in the log:

03-29 22:36:21.709: E/ValidateServiceOp(9477): Using Google Play games services requires a     metadata tag with the name "com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID" in the application tag of your manifest

But we have the id in our manifest!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.uraniumdevelopers.etchcubes"
    android:versionCode="6"
    android:versionName="0.4" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="14"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID"
            android:value="457870338644" />
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
            android:value="457870338644" />
        <activity
            android:name="com.uraniumdevelopers.etchcubes.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

And the initialization of the services goes like this:

    GoogleApiClient.Builder builder = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(
            getBaseContext());
    builder.addApi(Games.API).addApi(Plus.API).addApi(AppStateManager.API)
            .addScope(Games.SCOPE_GAMES).addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN)
            .addScope(AppStateManager.SCOPE_APP_STATE).setViewForPopups(rl);
    mClient = builder.build();

We would really appreciate your help!

replace 4 -> \u0034 for example

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID" android:value="\u003457870338644" />

Try to add your app_id in strings.xml and mention that id in manifest file.
