Android wear app does not run on a wearable device with no google play services installed

I'm developing an android wear app for a wearable device which does not have Google Play Services installed on it (for China region). But the app fails to run with the following exception :

Could not find wearable shared library classes. Please add <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.wearable" android:required="false" /> to the application manifest

I've already added this line in my manifest file, but it still throws the same exception. Below are my manifest and gradle files :

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.xyz.abcd">

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <uses-library
            android:name="com.google.android.wearable"
            android:required="false" />

        <!-- Set to true if your app is Standalone, that is, it does not require the handheld app to run. -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.wearable.standalone"
            android:value="true" />

        <activity
            android:name=".AbcActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

app: build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xyz.abcd"
        minSdkVersion 26
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 5
        versionName "1.0.4"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
        targetCompatibility = '1.8'
    }
    buildToolsVersion = '27.0.3'
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    implementation 'androidx.wear:wear:1.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:10.2.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.support:wearable:2.5.0'
    compileOnly 'com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.5.0'
    implementation 'androidx.percentlayout:percentlayout:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.5'
    implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha05'
}

I've made a lot of search regarding this, but i'm unable to find any appropriate solution which works.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Library play-services-wearable:10.2.0 seems to be required for China;
but only when using Fused Location Provider API or Data Layer API:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:17.0.0"

This is non-sense and should be removed:

buildToolsVersion = '27.0.3'

And if this here fails:

<uses-library
    android:name="com.google.android.wearable"
    android:required="false" />

The shared library is missing on-device, because it will only be known at compile-time:

compileOnly 'com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.5.0'

I think you may eventually have to use com.google.android.support there:

implementation "com.android.support:wear:28.0.0"
implementation "com.google.android.support:wearable:2.5.0"
compileOnly "com.google.android.wearable:wearable:2.5.0"

If the issue persists, consider filing an issue on the issue tracker.
