Google play services & google play games app on android emulator

Question

I recently updated the android google sdk with the latest version of google play services library (7.5).

Since the update I cannot run my app on emulator : when I click sign in button a pop up appears saying that I need to install the latest version of google play games app.

Of course I'm using the latest google apis for the emulator image. What happens? Did I miss something?

Answer 1

It turns that now google play services is linked to google play games app. It seems that if you don't have the app installed you cannot run the game that uses google play services. The emulator of course come without the games app I have to manually install the apk and now it works again. :-o
