Android Question Google Play services warning

[Sanxion]

Hi all

I received the following error when uploading an updated apk to Production (I strongly suspect this warning appeared the first time I uploaded my apk but I did not notice it):

Warnings
You uploaded an APK that uses Google Play services version 8487000. This will only work with Android API levels of 9 and above. It is discouraged to use this Google Play services version unless you have set the minSdkVersion in your manifest to 9 or higher.

I therefore changed my manifest from 4 to 9 and uploaded the modified version.

However, when I then attempted to update my local app via the Google Play Store - an error occurred: can't install app error code 504

I tried a different device and encountered the same problem. I uninstalled my app and tried a new install from the store - same problem.

I therefore reverted the manifest to '4' and uploaded the apk - ignored the warning from Google and my app will now allow updating and new downloads.

I am confused - what should I do?

Thanks.

Check free space on your device.

Have you tested it on Android 2.3+ (this is api 9) device?

Have you tested it on Android 2.3+ (this is api 9) device?

Yes. My test device is running Android 5.1.1

What further compounds the "strangeness" is that when I install to my device using B4A-Bridge - it works.

This is the portion of the manifest: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

This has now started working?!

Thank-you to all who responded.
