Answer 1

I had the same problem when I compiled google play services to my dependencies.

My mistake was I was compiling the enitre package like this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

Instead when I tried the selective compile, it worked.In my case I was using for google sign in,so it had just had to be

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0'.

More details are in the documentaion. https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#split

Hope this will be of a little help to someone someday :)
