Hello,

I just go a new computer an trying to set B4A to work. I've installed everything, but I encounter this error when running my application on the emulator:
LogCat connected to: emulator-5554
Copying updated assets files (26)
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
Error occurred on line: 0 (misc)
java.lang.IllegalStateException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

My application uses Admob, Messhare, and Analytics. What could I have done wrong? I'm pretty sure I have followed the setup instructions correctly, but maybe I missed something.

Regards.
