Why Google Play Services Versions are different?

I need to know Google Play Services Version on some devices.

After googling and searching stackoverflow, I found following two ways and tried these.

A. use PackageInfo

getPackageManager()
    .getPackageInfo(GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_PACKAGE, 0 )
    .versionCode;

B. use GoogleApiAvailability directly.

GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION_CODE;

I got results but results are different value.

result:

A: 12673023
B: 11717000

On the device, Settings -> Apps & Notification -> Google Play Services, version shows 12.6.73.

It seems A is correct.

On the other hand, B is simple and latest way.

Why is this two are different? which one is correct value? Everyone knows?

GoogleApiAvailability.GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION_CODE is the minimum required by your app, not the version installed
