Hi everyone,
This is a complete wrapper of the latest Google Play Games Services (v17.2.1). I made this for @Jack Cole and he allowed me to post it on the forum to help other users.
Though the functionalities are almost the same but the implementation is a little different than the old wrapper made by @Informatix . There are many methods that have been removed from the new version of GPGS libraries. For more details check this reference.
Important: The main difference is you cannot store the list of the achievements, events, leaderboards, scores, players and snapshots retrieved from their respective clients. When you want the list you have to call the load method to populate the buffer and after using the data you must have to release the buffer else you will get errors while accessing different classes. For example, if you fetch the achievement list and forgot to release the buffer and after that if you fetch the leaderboard list you will get an error.
The wrapper contains almost all (99%) the functionalities and methods that the new GPGS SDK has. Though not all the functionalities are tested. If you encounter any issue please post the complete log.
As the wapper has a huge number of functionalities it's not possible to publish the entire library reference here. I have attached an HTML file in the zip file for reference.

Installation:

Usage:
Update 1.01: Fixed an issue related to the sign-out event triggered from popup activities (Achievements/Leaderboard) You can check the resultCode received from OnGPGSActivityResult event. If the resultCode = RESULT_RECONNECT_REQUIRED, then it means the user clicked on the sign-out button from the popup activities. Check the example code.
Update 1.02: Added StatusCode to almost all the events to check whether the task was successful or not. Check the attached HTML file for event signature changes.
Update 1.03:

- Copy the attached jar and xml file to the additional libs folder.
- Open B4A SDK Manager and wait for the list to load.
- Deselect all.
- Only install these following libraries (installing other libraries may cause compilation error, do it at your own risk),
- firebase-abt
- play-services-games
- play-services-location
- play-services-tasks
- Now close the SDK Manager
- If you are going to integrate this to an existing project then remember to clean the project.
IDE > Tools > Clean project.
Setup GPGS: Check this documentation to set up and configure the GPGS.

End If
End Sub
Sub GPGS_SignInFailed(code As Int, status As String)

Example of fetching achievement list and releasing the buffer after usage:
Private Sub Button_UnlockAchievement_Click
ac.Load(False)
Wait For GPGS_AchievementsLoaded(count As Int, statusCode As Int)
'check if the process was successful or not
If statusCode = GPlayGamesService.RESULT_SUCCESS Then
'the buffer will be accessible from ac.GetAchievementsBuffer
Dim achd As GPGSAchievement = ac.GetAchievementFromBuffer(0)
If achd.GetState = achd.STATE_HIDDEN Then
ac.RevealImmediate(achd.GetAchievementId)
ac.UnlockImmediate(achd.GetAchievementId)
End If
If achd.GetState = achd.TYPE_INCREMENTAL And achd.GetCurrentSteps<achd.GetTotalSteps Then
ac.SetStepsImmediate(achd.GetAchievementId, achd.GetCurrentSteps+1)
End If
'Important: if you are done with the buffer then release it
ac.GetAchievementsBuffer.Release '<- Important

Log(GPlayGamesService.GetStatusCodeString(statusCode))

Update 1.03:
- Added IsSignedIn method to check if the user is signed in or not.
- Added GetLastSignedInAccount method that will return a GPGSUserAccount object or null if not signed in.
- Fixed IsSignedIn and GetLastSignedInAccount method where those were returning null when using SnapshotAPI.
- Fixed crashing issue while creating a snapshot with existing snapshot name. Update your project's SnapshotConflictOccurred event signature. It has been changed.
